@xenophora yeah I just have a lot of skepticism when folks start invoking individual strength/fitness as aspirational bc of the intense programming we are subjected to WRT health, fatness, white supremacy, and body politics. Like how many of these folks trying to steer us in that direction have actually meaningfully divested from the trap of those interlocking systems?

How is one to disentangle said programming from a given political practice when they're still compromised by anti fat propaganda, eugenics, et al?

And how do we ensure that the world we are trying to build and the dreams we are trying to bring to life are not simply recreations of these systemic harms, but leftistly?

I feel like we need a different approach. But idk, I for sure don't have all the answers
