NEWS FROM STRAFTANZ ACTUAL
We are Straftanz. We are people without morale and discipline and yet people adore us when we sagaciously state the wrong. We are the soft concrete that offers good rest for your weary brains. We piss on graves to show you that parables are sometimes parabolic. We do not care for the cave paintings on the faces of the elitists.

We will drown your Hierarchies in sweat. Get ready.
