    Don’t make their job easier for them. Fuck them! Health is wealth.

    https://youtu.be/9DxMFYpZZEo

    The state need not kill those that killing themselves
    Don’t make it an easy job for 'em

    The killing of kids with £2 chicken and chips
    Is a tactic of war, waged on the poor
    Can’t save wages on slave wages
    And you don’t think fresh fruit with your face on the floor
    Nah, you need money for the kids
    Rent and light plus food in the fridge
    But that last box can be the hardest tick
    'Cause scraps will suffice but they might make you sick
    As a child I used to chow take out
    Twenty-four hours later skin break out
    Felt so heavy with it sitting in my belly
    Dessert was a sugar coated candy jelly
    Fam that’s pig meat. Mashing up the kidney
    Make sure no government has to kill me
    I was killing myself till I realised danger
    Brain, heart, liver and lungs can hit failure
    Now season daal and veg with fresh herbs
    Cut caffeine because it messed with nerves
    Plenty lentils and chickpea curry
    20 minute meal for a man in a hurry
    That’s real fast food that won’t break the bank
    With enough nutrients to fill the tank
    Drink water for the body’s natural power
    But water from taps can taste sour
    Food deserts are designed to starve us
    No fresh produce but we’ve got Starbucks
    Calories packed in treats to enlarge us
    May not see the effects but the heart does
    Can’t breathe, can’t sleep, can’t run
    Casomorphin wreaks havoc on the lungs
    Just like fizzy wreaks havoc on the gums
    And my old man said diabetes ain’t fun
    Ginger root is good for the youts
    Blend it up and share a fresh juice
    Burn sage, cleanse the room
    Body is a temple, don’t let it be a tomb
    The food you choose to consume can damage
    Processed meats intestines can’t manage
    Cattle farming still killing off the planet
    And it tells us everyday that it can’t stand it
    Earth getting hotter while the sea levels rise
    All because you want burger with those fries
    All because you want milkshake with the meal
    Then to combat diarrhoea you take pills
    What’s the deal? Eat right, stay active
    Stay strong 'cause the revolution is real
    Never know when a man might have to dash
    And a pig can’t kill what a pig can’t catch
    It’s more than just eating right, it’s survival
    Rasta man tell the youts eat Ital
    Daily exercise, fresh air is vital
    Whether you short walk, run or take cycle
    Meditate to live life and love it
    Plus stress increases acid in stomachs
    Read and chill to keep the mental covered
    And when you find struggle, try rise above it
    I find peace in the books on the shelf
    Food on the stove while it cooks I can smell
    It’s gonna be good by the looks I can tell
    And it won’t put my body through hell, well
    Well, I want strength like Phelps
    Good practises and discipline helps
    Not for the six-pack, I do it for myself
    'Cause it’s true what they say your health is wealth
    Be healthy, be strong, alright

    Oh by the way, remember you are a gift to yourself and a gift to your environment
    Continue to be that beautiful gift
    Share that gift in your food, and all your gastronomic mastery

    A family that may not exist once the Nazis have carte blanche. Do you think resistance movements in other countries don’t also have families to feed? They still manage multi day resistance. If you go home after one day then you achieve nothing. I know there’s a huge wealth gap in America but there’s still huge swathes of suburbia who can survive without income for a while. Despite what you’ve been led to believe there’s more to life than generating money. Stand up for it.

    Believe it or not, I have. Nothing to do with No Kings though, because if you look at my server name I’m across the pond and have other problems to deal with.

    I’m not denying some people are doing things. But not enough. Not nearly enough. Trump’s approval ratings are still in the mid to high 40s ffs.

    That excuse might fly in most countries, but not in one specifically designed to resist turning into a dictatorship. One that has spent its history going around the world telling (and violently forcing) other countries how to run their country. One that has very loudly, very vocally, decried dictatorships and puffed up it’s chest declaring it to be the pinnacle of democracy, liberty, and freedom. Constantly, loudly, saying that all those school shootings are just unfortunate collateral damage because the population requires guns to resist tyranny. Where’s these checks and balances we always hear about? Where’s the resistance to tyranny? Where is the land of the brave and the home of the free?

    Too many Americans don’t care, they only want money or their bread and circuses. Politics be damned. Convince those greedy, selfish, lazy fucks to care or risk being doomed to dictatorship for a very long time.

    My comment, obviously, doesn’t encompass all Americans. I’m not xenophobic. But it does encompass a large enough percentage that a well documented fascist dictatorship is being allowed to happen. One where the dictator said he would be one on day one, and he was still voted for. One where the plan was published online for all to read in advance, and nothing was done.

    No Kings was huge, but then it fizzled out. And each day that passes allows the Republicans a stronger and stronger hold, as they arrest and deport those who may create resistance.

    First they came for the socialists immigrants…

    Showed up for one day, and then went back to work the next day after letting off some steam.

    Trump is still in charge. You still have a dictator.

    ICE still does what it wants. Masked unidentifiable men are still kidnapping people off the streets.

    America is being destroyed at record pace and “the land of the brave” have done very little so far to stop it.

    The Iraq war 2 protests had record numbers but it still happened. Protest needs to either be sustained over a period of time or combined with other actions. So far, No Kings hasn’t done that and it’s therefore achieved nothing.

    As human beings, our interests, philosophies, politics, etc, yes.

    As workers in a job, not so much. The analogy works in that scenario. We all conform, to varying degrees, to the groups that we join. Especially when that group is your full time employ, where you spend most of your time and gain most of your money.

    There’s a HBO show called The Wire that is amazing, and I would recommend to anyone to watch, but particularly to yourself because “Simon has said that despite its framing as a crime drama, the show is “really about the American city, and about how we live together. It’s about how institutions have an effect on individuals. Whether one is a cop, a longshoreman, a drug dealer, a politician, a judge or a lawyer, all are ultimately compromised and must contend with whatever institution to which they are committed.”[5]”

    Warning: it is slow paced, it’s more like reading a book on your screen than watching a traditional TV show, but it’s worth it
