Do you have actual proof of that?
From what I’ve seen, the so-called “resistance” is mainly concerned with power and control.
Why would a citizen need to carry a passport?
Ultimately, however, these should be corrected. It may take time, but it will happen.
I beielve that the people who are fighting are doing it for one reason and one reason only. Power. They don’t care about their fellow citizens.
Nazi, what are you talking about?
Oh, B.S. then why do they deliberately detonate their bombs to inflict maximum damage on children and civilians?
