I tested the limits of what tapes could withstand when I got my hands on this album as a wee lad. Originally passed along by my babysitter's anarchist son who had a collection of ready-to-go Molotovs in his closet. Had to hide it under my mattress.
History is a Teacher (No Pupils though)@needmoretrains.northsky.social · 2d ago"Now we know there's an alarmingly high number of young people roaming around in your country with nothing to do but stir up trouble for the police and damage private property.

Played HS tennis with a lunatic who did this a few times. Like, all the matches stopped and gawked as the coach tried to get him to calm tf down. Pretty hilarious. He became MAGA of course. His Facebook avatar was him doing a flying Chuck Norris kick at a park.
