Diane Sawyer is standing on a massive map of the ME and North Africa

[malaise]

26. Giggity!

[RandomThoughts]

3. Good point on the whip.

You are not seeing the context, it is a comment about moving faster or quickening, but does not actually use any coercion. It comes from horses and stage coaches. It can be a stripes comment also, but rarely used in that fashion, that is usually red white colors.

In most things it is a communication, not the way you think of it.

[malaise]

12. Now those are some deep comments there

:fistbump:

[RandomThoughts]

14. I should say, that how it is used in many contexts is not that.

But in videos without that context he mentions there is a different meaning to it.

[BOG PERSON]

(French Protest Song)


We Won't Give A Fucking Inch

From the slums of my projects
To the depths of your suburbia
Our reality is the same
And revolt is brewing everywhere

In this world there's no place for us
We don't look the part
We're not to the manor born
Not on daddy's plastic

Homeless,Unemployed, workers
Farmers, immigrants, Undocumented
They wanted to divide us
And they succeeded

As long as it was every man for himself
Their system could prosper
But one day, inevitably, we woke up
Now. their heads have to roll

We're Not Giving A Fucking Inch

They spoke about about equality
And like fools we believed them
"Democracy" makes me laugh
If we had had it we would have known it

What's the worth of our votes
Up against the law of the market?
They say "my dear fellow countrymen"
But we're fucked all the same

And what's the worth of human rights
Up against the airbus sale?
The bottom line, there's only one law, in sum:
"Sell yourself more to sell more."

The republic is a whore
Walking the street of dictators
We no longer believe
Their beautiful words
Our leaders are liars

We're Not Giving A Fucking Inch

So stupid, so trite,
To speak of peace and brotherhood
When the homeless are dying in the streets
And the undocumented are being driven out

They throw crumbs to us proles
Just shit to calm us down
So they won't attack millionaire bosses
"Too important for our society"

It's crazy how they're protected
All the rich and powerful
Not to mention the help they get
For being the friends of the president

Dear comrades, dear "voters"
Dear "citizen-consumers"
The alarm has rung
It's time
To reset to zero

As long as we're fighting, there's hope
As long as we're alive, we'll fight
As long as we're fighting, we're standing
Here's the key
We're standing, we won't give an inch

The passion for victory runs in our blood
Now you know why we're fighting
Our ideal, more than a dream
Another world, we have no choice

We're Not Giving A Fucking Inch
