Be critical. Do the right thing — not just for yourself but for everyone. But that was before. Before the common became passé… before I woke up. And now je suis terroriste*. Not for something I did, but for something I did not do. I did not become radicalized, and yet… je suis terroriste*.

When, in times of peace, the common people are labeled as terrorists by the powers that be, then peace is no longer upon us:

Je suis TERRORISTE*
