Look around you tonight and you’ll see that those differences are gone. Now, to put things as simplistically as possible, there is just “us and “them”, and it is impossible for us to coexist. We have no alternative but to fight, and we must keep fighting until we have wiped them out.

The alternative is dead bodies at the intersections, no fish and no ducks. OK?

But it didn't help him because they closed him down anyhow
