00:00:00.000 Fitness is fascism, folks, right?
00:00:01.640 I remember seeing articles like this a few years ago about how gym bros are right-wing extremists.
00:00:07.200 Well, now being physically fit and in top shape is fascism.
00:00:10.860 So are clean, safe neighborhoods and thriving towns. 0.99
00:00:13.940 Remember, fascism just comes under the guise of goodwill and making things pretty and nice and safe to kill you. 0.97
00:00:20.720 This is what they actually think, right? 0.94
00:00:22.960 Yeah, let me add that in.
00:00:24.580 They managed to solve something which any of these liberal, socialist, communist governments has ever been able to achieve,
00:00:31.160 which is basically like a functioning, well-run society where things are clean, people are friendly, and it looks good on the surface.
00:00:37.280 But that's just a trick.
00:00:39.120 They pulled off the supposed impossible just so they can get to you and kill you in camps or torture you in some –
00:00:47.680 Remember, fascism arose as a response to communism.
00:00:50.760 Because commies definitely didn't have any mass casualty events or anything like that.
00:00:55.380 So the laughable MSNBC, they strike again, showing their true colors. 0.99
00:00:59.200 There was a lot of entertaining responses to this piece of crap here. 0.98
00:01:03.380 So let me just read a little bit from Choice Bits. 0.99
00:01:06.080 Pandemic fitness trends have gone extreme.
00:01:09.020 Literally, white supremacists laid a scheme to valorize violence and hyper-masculinity has gone digital.
00:01:15.080 It appears the far-right has taken advantage of pandemic-at-home fitness trends to expand its decade-plus radicalization of fitness and combat sports.
00:01:25.780 Earlier this month, researchers reported that a network of online fascist fitness chat groups on the platform telegram are recruiting –
00:01:36.520 Oh, no, someone has a telegram channel.
00:01:38.580 They were radicalizing young men with neo-Nazi and white supremacist extremist ideologies.
00:01:44.520 And I looked at what these ideologies were.
00:01:46.460 Things like strength and health and brotherhood and self-confidence and attracting women.
00:01:52.760 It's like, oh, my God.
00:01:54.440 The intersection, she says, of extremism and fitness leans into a shared obsession with the male body, training, masculinity, testosterone, strength, and competition.
00:02:04.500 Well, this is always going to be there and always – I mean, come on.
00:02:08.040 And, by the way, women like this stuff. 1.00
00:02:09.820 Like, is she not want a fit man?
00:02:12.200 Like, come on.
00:02:13.620 Physical fitness training.
00:02:14.640 I know what she wants.
00:02:15.240 I'll show her in a moment.
00:02:15.880 Especially in combat sports appeals to the far right for many reasons.
00:02:19.800 Fighters are trained to accept significant physical pain to be warriors and to embrace messaging around solidarity, heroism, and brotherhood.
00:02:28.060 She's putting these things down, being a hero and self-reliance and brotherhood.
00:02:32.840 And, she says, recruits are encouraged to link individual moral virtues such as willpower, decisiveness, and courage with desired collective traits such as virility and manliness.
00:02:43.320 We can't have virility in our men.
00:02:45.180 Oh, my God.
00:02:46.160 That is fascism.
00:02:48.320 Well, if you want to destroy society.
00:02:50.300 Oh, my gosh.
00:02:51.240 You got to weaken. 0.99
00:02:52.420 Might as well just say good sex is fascism. 0.98
00:02:53.740 Waken the man. 0.99
00:02:54.780 Then it goes on and on about how white guys are – they're learning combat and self-defense.
00:02:59.620 And, they have these fight clubs and they train.
00:03:03.280 It's like, so what are you going to do?
00:03:04.980 What are you going to do, lady?
00:03:07.640 We always go in there –
00:03:08.820 Shut it down, maybe?
00:03:09.760 How about that?
00:03:10.440 She goes on about how it's important that people in health and wellness know how these horrible ideas, you know, of brotherhood and strength and virility are going around the gym.
00:03:21.020 And, that they need to be vigilant and stop this from spreading.
00:03:25.240 So, basically, fitness is fascism and racism.
00:03:28.280 When white guys against Globo Homo do it, they want you to be weak, soy-bodied, without any self-defense skills or a brotherhood to unite with, right?
00:03:38.040 And, they don't want you to be attractive to women who want to have your babies, right? 0.95
00:03:43.180 Yeah, you want to – yeah, go ahead.
00:03:44.720 And, then, she backpedals – I saw this.
00:03:46.700 This is Dr. Cynthia Miller.
00:03:48.760 That's the author, right?
00:03:49.840 Married to some Muslim dude. 0.99
00:03:52.060 And, then, she – yeah, because Muslims don't practice masculinity. 0.99
00:03:56.620 Then, she tried to backpedal and all these – because she got all these hilarious comments just hammering her shitty article. 0.97
00:04:03.280 But, then, it didn't help because she says it's not being a fitness fanatic that identifies you as a far-right extremist, of course. 0.89
00:04:09.320 Rather, the point is that fascist political movements have always been syncretic.
00:04:14.280 And, so, what?
00:04:15.240 That means all political movements – all political movements have incorporated activities, behavior of the current culture.
00:04:23.460 I mean, please.
00:04:24.300 She said – let me read the rest of that because that's actually kind of – just as you say.
00:04:27.840 Syncretic.
00:04:28.280 Syncretic.
00:04:28.660 That's what that means, right?
00:04:29.660 Yeah, they incorporate activities, ideas, and behaviors fully within the cultural and political mainstream and then claim them as their own.
00:04:35.800 Yeah, because your side is totally not doing that.
00:04:37.640 All politics does this.
00:04:39.560 All of it.
00:04:40.140 So, basically, what she's afraid of is they're just afraid of losing because we're right and we're healthy.
00:04:45.860 Yeah, but basically – yeah, basically, give up now.
00:04:48.500 Just lay down and roll over and just let us win.
00:04:51.400 Let us walk all over you and let us just get away with whatever we want to do towards you.
00:04:55.360 Have no kids. 1.00
00:04:56.080 Be fat.
00:04:56.600 Be unhealthy.
00:04:57.340 Yeah.
00:04:57.600 Be weak.
00:04:58.340 Be malleable.
00:04:59.440 Be susceptible to, you know, all our propaganda.
00:05:02.640 That's what they want. 1.00
00:05:02.920 They want you to have a limp dick. 1.00
00:05:04.340 You know, that's what they want. 1.00
00:05:04.960 I was going to say, ultimately, the war on the pee-pee intensifies. 1.00
00:05:10.040 I mean, if you want to boil it down to its essence, it's the war on the pee-pee. 1.00
00:05:14.020 That's basically what's going on here. 1.00
00:05:15.120 Maybe the black guys have got it right when they say my dick. 1.00
00:05:17.480 My dick. 1.00
00:05:18.040 Basically, they do it with, what, chemicals, subversion, propaganda, pornography, like all the most – food, everything, right? 1.00
00:05:25.300 No, what she wants is this.
00:05:26.680 This is what she wants right here.
00:05:27.760 This is the exemplary position of the new individual in global homo culture. 1.00
00:05:33.880 No one wants to procreate with that.
00:05:37.040 I don't think you can.
00:05:38.200 I think technically it's impossible.
00:05:41.000 Yeah, exactly.
00:05:42.180 Well, even if you did, I think –
00:05:45.040 Could you even reach in that?
00:05:46.720 I don't know.
00:05:48.000 It's exciting.
00:05:48.620 So, basically, this lady admits that Far Right is healthy by doing this article at all, right?
00:05:54.520 And on the flip side, exactly like you showed, there's winners on her side that are pushing all this fat acceptance, right? 0.71
00:06:01.840 I had seen this ridiculous article.
00:06:03.900 We'll pull it up here. 0.88
00:06:04.820 I was like, what is this?
00:06:05.760 And it was trending.
00:06:06.800 Can you pull up the huff poop one? 0.60
00:06:08.520 Oh, yeah.
00:06:09.280 Yeah, so it follows this woman's sob story of how she gained 70 pounds.
00:06:13.760 You know, we've heard about the COVID-15, gaining the 15 pounds, and apparently there's the COVID-70 because COVID made her eat all that junk food and whatever it was. 0.87
00:06:26.580 Yeah, COVID did it.
00:06:27.680 COVID's the reason for everything.
00:06:29.880 And although she's featured as something to aspire to, she's still whining in this article about how she's not accepted. 0.97
00:06:36.460 And they're doing this whole spread celebrating her.
00:06:38.860 All I see is fat acceptance everywhere, from mannequins, from models, underwear models now, actors.
00:06:46.620 Like, everything is bigger.
00:06:49.340 Everything is bigger.
00:06:50.280 And while they become...
00:06:50.860 Bigger is better.
00:06:51.980 Not always.
00:06:52.800 While they become more...
00:06:53.580 Look at this.
00:06:54.540 Bigger is better, folks. 0.98
00:06:56.160 Don't mess with trans kids. 1.00
00:06:58.300 Like, I know we have some large people on our side, but they're, you know, they're working on it.
00:07:02.060 Hey, we're not cheating.
00:07:02.900 They're not celebrating.
00:07:04.760 Fat shaming works, okay?
00:07:06.700 Yeah.
00:07:06.880 We're looking out for you.
00:07:08.720 We want you to improve.
00:07:09.860 We want you to be healthy.
00:07:10.780 Exactly.
00:07:11.060 And sometimes you just have to poke at the things that are difficult, you know, and maybe they will get you to improve.
00:07:17.000 Change to get healthy.
00:07:18.200 Not just give up and celebrate your mediocrity.
00:07:20.140 No, of course.
00:07:20.440 Whatever means necessary, whatever gets you there, that's a win, you know?
00:07:25.580 So we're not shitting on you personally.
00:07:28.140 No, because I had some large person write me. 0.98
00:07:30.720 Right.
00:07:31.500 Well, it's a huge difference of promoting this in society and saying it's okay.
00:07:36.860 In fact, it's preferable now.
00:07:38.780 Otherwise, you're a Nazi. 0.86
00:07:39.980 That's what I'm saying. 0.99
00:07:40.200 If you're not fat. 0.98
00:07:41.300 You're a fascist if you don't celebrate this woman's COVID-70. 0.62
00:07:44.560 So if you know about that, and then if you do have some issues by yourself, well, just try to improve. 0.98
00:07:48.780 We're not shitting on you. 0.93
00:07:49.520 You know, we're shitting on the culture that's, like, pushing this. 0.98
00:07:51.700 Hook up with one of these far-right gym bros and get that body in shape, you know? 0.58
00:07:56.540 So, basically, the moral of the story is here.
00:07:59.720 While they become more unhealthy, we'll become more fit.
00:08:04.620 And I think that is an important thing to remember as things are veering in this direction.
00:08:09.860 It's, yep, it's intensifying, the interesting thing there.
00:08:14.120 All right.
00:08:14.200 And they're angry because they see some of that happening, you know?
00:08:18.560 So the women like that have to write and complain about these articles. 1.00
00:08:21.400 Of course, yeah. 0.87
00:08:21.920 But, you know, they fantasize about these fascist gym bros.
00:08:25.820 And did you see in the picture there, too, about the fitness fascists?
00:08:28.700 They had, like, Hitler Youth, these cute little German kids doing hiles in the background.
00:08:33.520 Yeah, I did see that.
00:08:36.320 Where'd he go?
00:08:38.200 That's BuzzFeed.
00:08:39.060 Did I close?
00:08:39.640 Oh, maybe I closed that.
00:08:40.580 That's all right.
00:08:41.140 No, no, no, wait.
00:08:41.620 There it is.
00:08:42.000 Right there.
00:08:42.420 Okay.
00:08:42.740 Yeah.
00:08:43.200 Yeah.
00:08:43.620 So he was like, oh, look at the little German kids in the background.
00:08:46.160 It's always that, right? 0.98
00:08:47.620 And that's, I mean, again, that's why, you know, they hate white people. 0.99
00:08:51.460 They hate blonde people. 1.00
00:08:52.300 They hate, you know, Aryan-looking people. 1.00
00:08:54.760 I mean, because it's that.
00:08:56.480 And so the only thing, the only acceptable thing, I mean, it's that, you know, it's part of a fallacy, right?
00:09:01.240 But it's like, well, Hitler drank water and breathed air, too. 0.78
00:09:04.080 What are you doing now? 1.00
00:09:05.400 Your move, bitch. 1.00
00:09:07.320 You know, what are you going to do now? 1.00
00:09:08.980 It's like, cut yourself off from it.
00:09:10.580 Because the association, it's just horrifying.
00:09:14.160 Water drinking, air breathing, I don't think so.
00:09:16.800 I saw some comments where people were like, I just did 10 push-ups. 0.99
00:09:19.840 Oh, my God, I hate Jews now. 1.00
00:09:21.560 Yeah. 0.99
00:09:22.300 You know, my Peloton fascism.
00:09:24.540 Like, I just finished a 2K run.
00:09:26.580 Now I'm invading Poland. 0.96
00:09:28.780 That's so funny.
00:09:29.980 Oh, my God.
00:09:30.880 It's just average. 0.99
00:09:31.860 It's always Nazis, Nazis, Nazis. 0.97
00:09:33.580 It's all they got, man. 0.98
00:09:34.820 It's all they got.
00:09:35.600 Here's the hysteric behind it, though, too.
00:09:37.000 And she's, like, real gnarly looking, too.
00:09:38.480 I saw some other pictures.
00:09:39.580 Her side profile was almost like a female lurch, you know?
00:09:43.080 Great.
00:09:43.340 So, you know, these people, they hate beauty.
00:09:45.400 And they equate, isn't it interesting how they equate fascism with beauty ideals?
00:09:51.080 Communism is the opposite of that.
00:09:52.600 It's about destroying everything that's beautiful, right?
00:09:56.020 Yeah, well, it's, I mean, again, and that's why the promotion of ugliness, you know, that's what they want.
00:10:02.060 They want promotion of the worst elements of society.
00:10:05.660 And improvement is something to look down upon.
00:10:07.620 I mean, again, it's like, well, the Nazis did eugenics, so therefore we have to do dysgenics. 0.75
00:10:11.480 We have to be 100%, 180%, 180 degrees in the opposite direction and do exactly the opposite.
