Yeah. I get protesting to release some angst, but for 99% of these people attending this is just an opportunity for them to post on instagtam with #involved #bethechange , etc. None of them will ever go volunteer at local schools, mentor kids, start community projects, or dare run for office. Just easier to share articles and eat patriarchy crushing Taco Bell. Im damn near socialist in my poltical persuasion, but good lord do I find the 2nd amd paramount to the security of a large heterogenous republic. Why should we have guns? Because the crazy people and the ruling class already have guns. Do i want violence? Fuck no. But i damn well will be prepared to survive it.  Back to fat people. I'm often asked why I make exercise/strength such a priority, considering my profession is academic. My answer? To be at a consistent physical advantage over the majority of other 'humans'. It's basic fitness in the evolutionary sense.
