Appalachia Wellness Center

hello 'all.' BOY do we have a treat for you!! in today's ~long~ installment of the Appalachia Wellness Center program four1111s embarks on a lil field trip to 'the south' to catch up with some old chums/new wellness center staff members. our 4 heroes discuss how no matter how much you don't want them to be, sports ARE political. we use that premise to explore the economic aspect of the industry, how sports team owners are actually just landlords in disguise, and why successful sports franchises really don't need to have an owner to succeed - much like how you really don't need a landlord in order to live somewhere and you really don't need a boss in order to work and produce value for society. buckle up for some fierce debate and red hot takes, all for the low low price of $0.00. twitter: @APPwellcenter, @four1111s instagram: four1111s

welcome back to our 2-part special on the healthcare industrial complex... part 2. today four1111s returns to center on an important piece of neoliberal capitalist logic - the individualisation of struggle - which tells us that our actions alone determine our future, while ignoring the collective economic shitstorm of struggle that plays a much bigger role in the poisoning of our social relations in general. drinking more water and meditating for 10 minutes a day won't make your job any more bearable. going vegan and hunting down every single plastic straw for destruction won't curb the real contributors to climate change. how do we understand the struggle for the improvement of society as a collective one? how do we connect healthcare justice with housing justice? with reproductive justice? with food justice? capitalism has its claws in every aspect of our world, and we cannot interpret anything in a vacuum. it's all connected - just like each and every one of us - even when we're alone at home in the dark playing The Outer Worlds in our underwear. twitter: @APPwellcenter, @four1111s instagram: four1111s
