Only in regard to the weird cultural attitude towards health and oppression
There was someone that did a deep dive into it, and apparently there is some scholarly and historical backing to the attitude. I wish I could find the video because he had really cited a lot of sources
But the gist of it is that communism (from my limited understanding) is about empowering the working class and fighting all these forms of oppression. And unfortunately there seems to be this weird modern day attitude amongst some communists that fitness is a form of oppression. This is because a fit, strong person is in a better position to intimidate, physically control or oppress others even if that isn’t their intention
And so there is this attitude of people shouldn’t get fit because it COULD lead to oppression of others easier….or something
I’m not sure if it’s also an issue with empathizing with those that aren’t able bodied, or even a jealously thing like “I’m not going to get fit because I don’t want others to be jealous of me”
I don’t really understand any of it. All I suspect is that if a person like me went onto pro-communism communities and exclusively talked about personal physical self improvement, I would NOT be a liked or popular fellow in that community, for whatever reason. I probably wouldn’t be hated either, but I definitely wouldn’t be liked

i was just joking because shovel mentioned he was a conservative, but he has advanced politics brain rot so he can't help it. aside from the general fixation of many right-wing dudes on personal fitness, i don't really see what it has to do with anything.
don't worry,
nobody is liked in left-wing communities, not initially.
