Worldview

Fuck classism. Fuck capitalism. Fuck the police. And 100% FUCK fascism.

In more polite “professional” terms:

"I renounce the toxic systems of classism, police brutality, capitalist greed, and fascist oppression. I stand for a world where justice is restorative, not punitive; where marginalized voices are amplified; and every individual can live free from exploitation and oppression, with dignity and respect.” — Story Ember leGaïe
