題目: Re: [unSYSTEM] from Tahria square, Cairo
Yeah cool. Write anything you think to this list.

But at the end of the day, the real message comes from staying true to
yourself. Not putting on a fake act and dressing for others. I speak
from the heart.

I'm not a politician trying to win votes, I'm a hacker spreading our
culture and speaking directly to our guys. Our guys can see through
any acting and it stops me connecting to them.
