    So in recent times, reactionary strongly rigt-leaning Americans have stopped taking vaccines while increasing consumption of beer, red meat, and extra large sodas. What have I missed?

    Would actual advocacy and empty threats from the left for some of the things listed in here like toothpaste, seatbelts, exercise, child seats, etc., have an eventual effect on demographics or just lead us to Idiocracy faster?

    Right-wingers are pushing back on vaccines because they’re killing people.

    I see no corresponding resistance to seatbelts.

    I guess it's supposed to be hyper-masculine/alpha. Perhaps not surprisingly, the meme has been incel adjacent at the least. I doubt it's about closeted homosexuality but rather more reflective of insecurities a lot of young men today have in terms of their relationships or lack thereof with women. I would guess that there's a significant overlap between those who post gigachad memes and those who think Andrew Tate and others perceived as hyper alpha/masculine are positive role models.

    Wait, that was UFLawyer's chest in the OP?

    That was a fine bit of chest pumping. I would not call it a failure.

    I think you are just factually incorrect, if conservatives wanted body fascism for us, they probably wouldn't be in the pocket of the people who put sugar or corn syrup in literally everything, they would be running on a platform of mandatory gym memberships and government subsidized creatine or something. Conservatives are the ones that get mad when the government tries to ban trans fats or reduce soda sizes, as some kind of attack on freedom.

    Fortunately they don’t want body fascism.

    They want the freedom to eat and drink whatever you want because ‘Merica.

    Also, being out of shape and weak isn’t a good thing.

    I mean neither is excessive body building like the guy you posted, probably involves a lot of dubious drugs and chemicals

    Thanks for the background. It's even creepier than I thought.

    Doubling down on the homophobia I see.

    How sad. You should really learn to be more tolerant of others.

    I'm not sure you understand just how unappealing it is being a vegan hipster. :D

    The vegans I know aren't that hip, its just an ethical and creative choice (they seem to enjoy the challenge of making stuff taste good without butter and such).

    This Vegan hipster is 1 of the greatest athletes in history. He didn't even take ibuprofen...as he was passing folks in the Leadville 100 his pace runner (Caballo Blanco - rip) ragged the other runners that they were getting beat by a guy who's ankle was swollen to the size of a grapefruit. He also sat for hours/days at the finish line to honor the others.

    neither here nor there, but Sat, I ate 3 cheeseburgers & had steak fajitas for breakfast.
