Rap Music and Environmentalism

I don't know if I can make this poetry-
All I know is I have these two things on my mind
and I can't stop wishing they weren't.

Mein Kampf is one of the most necessary books to read in all of the written word.
The further you are removed from Nazism, the more important the book is to read.
Especially considering the age of book-burning, and then being blessed with the freedom to read the first-hand account of how this all came to be.
That is all I have to say about Adolf Hitler’s Mein Kampf- I highly suggest
reading it.
The Mein Kampf that has been on my mind recently, is this rapper Boosie’s new documentary.
I most likely won't watch the film because it sounds absolutely retarded as I assume Boosie is, but Jesus fucking Christ how insane is this.
Check out Dap-Dap’s newest story- Ships, Auctions, and Cotton, My Life as a Slave.
The documentary is called “My Struggle”, which I’d hope people know what Mein Kampf is translated to in English.
Adolf Hitler’s Mein Kampf is literally overflowing with the feeling of pride and hatred, pushing and pulling towards homelands, protection, degradation (all of course within perceptions), a talented lonely young man who turns to socialism and the hatred of the Jewish people, who then obviously becomes one of the most well-known names in possibly the entirety of the world next to Jesus, Lenin, and Lennon.
Can we compare this to Boosie? even if we tried?
1.7 million listeners on Spotify
Gosh your about… 4.3 million short, and that's just counting the Jews.
If you wanted to include the gays, gypsies, etc,
then you’re about 10 million shy.
Damn man, that is pretty upsetting
You cant even sell a quarter of the number of albums as Hitler was able to kill Jews.
To state that differently, Hitler was exponentially better at killing Jews then
Boosie is at making music.
Now that can be applied to basically everyone on the planet-
Hitler was certainly better at killing Jews than like half the world population is at obtaining living wages, he was way more efficient than I will ever be at writing my stupid little poems. It's not the actions I would ever want to recreate, but that work ethic is unparalleled.
Okay, back to Boosie. I don't listen to rap anymore
I used to when I was a youth and I thought it was the coolest thing ever to be black but now I listen to what I want to listen to.
Dababy is the only “rapper” I sometimes listen to but let's be honest,
he’s not a rapper, he’s a god damned artist.
So I had to google Boosie.
Two days ago, XXL Mag published that, “Boosie admits he still listens to Lil Nas X’s music”
That would be like if the newspapers of Nazi Germany wrote an article saying,
“Adolf Hitler admits he still celebrates Shabbat every Friday with his family”
“Adolf Hitler admits his favorite bread is Challah”
“Breaking video shows Adolf Hitler whistling Hello Muddah Hello Fadduh”
Can you really categorize your life as a struggle if you can admit to liking
LIL NAS X???
Maybe in the way that Avril Lavigne fans struggle to not cut themselves
or how fans of Mcdonald's struggle with their weight.
But I will never EVER consider choosing guns and drugs and fights
and bastard children as a real struggle especially considering that it is enough of a struggle to NOT choose that path.
Life is a struggle, life is a life sentence and death is your only shot at parole.
The last thing I will say about this is, leave the title “my struggle” to someone
who maybe doesn't have legs, or is blind and deaf, or even someone who works an above-average work week to use that income to afford food to feed children.
Boosie’s biggest struggle is realizing he’s getting a little too old to be rapping.

Okay well its time for intermission
Take a walk around the apartment, feed your dogs, fuck your wife, but come back because the second half is filled with equally useless content

Does Greta Thunberg listen to King Gizzard?
I think she does!!!
Either that or her mom read Mike Berners Lee to her.
Somewhere in the midst of a terrible, really overpraised speech,
BLAH BLAH BLAH
Real creative there
She says it! The magic words
“THERE IS NO PLANET B”
All the Gizzard fans can't help but sing along
“OPEN YOUR EYES AND SEE!”
I did see Neil deGrasse Tyson argue that if we can terraform Mars, then we can certainly re-terraform Earth, but I don't even know what Neil deGrasse Tyson has done to become this voice.
I don't doubt he went to college and probably much more, but that is simply how far removed I am from the science world, I don't even know how a scientist can get famous.
My only problem with the scientific community is that you can be wrong, I mean so wrong that millions of people die because of something you thought, and that is okay, the leading scientific minds can be wrong as we all are allowed to be, but for fucks sake, fire at least one scientist for being wrong once! You are basically given tenure the moment you become
a scientist because nothing bad has ever happened to the scientist who was 100 billion years off of when we thought the big bang occurred.
Anyways, Greta isn't a scientist either, she is a puppet activist
which is worse than someone who is comfortable not understanding the science and then shutting the fuck up about it.
I don't care if she is or isn't whatever she wants to be,
I just want to know if we listen to the same music or not.
This whole time I’m looking at her, well it isn't fully fair because I thought she was 13 when she was 17 so I would not have accurately guessed what she would be listening to anyway, but I would have guessed basically anything but King Gizzard.
And King Gizzard is about the most mainstream stuff I listen to,
Maybe Greta likes metal!
How cool would it be if Greta came out to give one of her terrible speeches wearing a Judas Priest shirt?
For God’s sake, at least get this poor girl some Dr. Martens so she can fit in with her base!
No one has ever changed the world wearing Sketchers.
My problem now is that I cant listen to one of the best thrash albums without thinking of that dumb bitch!!! It’s infuriating.
What I would like to happen to solve this crisis, is for Greta to go all the way.
This is a call to Greta Thunberg, in your next speech can you just steal the words from Perihelion?
It's my favorite song on the album and as long as your doing greatest hits, I figured maybe you could fit it in.
OH MY GOD, I JUST THOUGHT OF IT!
Don't change what you say, all you need to do is walk out there with an electric guitar.
You don't even need to play it or know how to play it, if you hold the guitar, people will be more willing to accept what you're saying as art and not utter nonsense.
Maybe someone can reach out to her people and tell them I have a guitar for her, a beautiful green Telecaster, I can even get her some kind of hippy-dippy happy dipshit flower-child strap if she wants.
Just get back to me whenever, I will hold onto the guitar, but please take this into consideration, we can turn Greta into the next Machine Gun Kelly, and maybe by this time next year she can be dating Ryan Gosling.

Great Job Reader!,
You did it, you finished reading this thing.
Please continue on with your day.
