It has something to do with taking responsibility of your own actions I think

Denying that genetics affects you, is in itself a phallycy.
Everything affects you. But if yoy aren't a bitch you can overcome it.

Being weak leaves you to feel the need for others to do your work for you. Ie being a leftist weak cuck

>Why are bodybuilders so rightwing? because they can. while of course not applying 100% of the time the strict discipline required for this hobby also reflects to other aspects of life. people who advocate right wing politics are usually well off and thus feel like their quality of life they worked hard for should be protected while leftists never accomplished anything (at least anything of monetary value) and therefore want to spread the wealth because (and they often pretend this is a coincidence) they would benefit from it.

A better question is: why don't Liberals/Progressives take fitness seriously?
Why don't they care about their bodies? Particularly left-wing women?

Bodybuilders fit nicely into the right wing faction, especially with the whole accepting pseudoscience (broscience) instead of real science.

Why do you believe that liberals take fitness any less seriously on average than people of other political views?
Do you have any evidence at all besides anecdotal (Lol feminists and fat tumblrlites said x, this is my source!) that conservatives or libertarians or whatever are any more fit, on average?
Caleb Jackson
>implying anecdotal evidence is not enough to make broad generalizations
Matthew Flores
>Do you have any evidence at all besides anecdotal I haven't researched any of this at all, which is why I said experience. In my experience, the type of people who lift and actually make progress tend to be ones who have more self-determinant ideologies, which are usually more right wing people.
Carson James
>Why do you believe that liberals take fitness any less seriously on average than people of other political views?
Because athletes appreciate the results of hard work. Try telling a powerlifter that he has to distribute his total amongst some beginners and see how that goes.
Are you the OP of this thread? Because genetics is not a scapegoat, unless you actually think that pectus excavatum makes no difference in working out.
Anthony Nguyen
I haven't really noticed that, personally.
I found most people who get really successful at something (Fitness, sports, business, making money, art, math, science, whatever) are simply apolitical.
They just don't give a fuck about politics. They recognize it's a waste of time and they don't cling to any ideology, instead they focus on what matters and what brings them joy and happiness.

Easton Jones
>of course they won't get political when they have nothing to gain and everything to lose.
Nah I mean people I've known personally, acquaintances or friends in general.
Like I've never unironically heard a rich person I know say "Man we really need to gas all those fucking niggers already" or "Hey did you hear about the jewish conspiracy to turn men into subservient cuckold femboys?" or "I'm so tired of these libruls ruining our country!".
Sure it may just be because they choose not to discuss politics but it also seems like successful people just have an aversion to wasting time on topics that don't lead anywhere.
Like the "fat hate threads" on here. They just seem entirely childish, bitter and even projecting (probably current/past fatties posting, disgusted with their own bodies). I mean what kind of normal person spends their time making fun of people he deems inferior? Just focus on yourself and people you enjoy being around
Easton Wright
Unabomber. Interesting thesis he wrote yet didn't justify resorting to domestic terrorism.
I always wonder about such American rhetoric concerning freedom etc yet if your views are outside of the hive mind the individual is made a pariah of...
Something that really sticks our in American society as a massive contradiction. You're free unless you disagree with us. Is partly why I never trust Americans.
Brody Gutierrez
>I don't like /pol/ I'm more left wing than you probably think
Wasn't implying you were either political leaning, just that I live in the GTA too and people, for the most part completely avoid politics.
Personally in the last 3 years I can't recall ever hearing a thing about politics, maybe it's just my circle of friends, people I work with and interact with but they don't give a shit, it's a waste of time. Politics is mental masturbation
Thomas Evans
You should talk to those people more. What I've found is those "apolitical" types typically actually do hold pretty strong beliefs one way or the other, maybe not with political parties themselves but the ideologies underlying them. Particularly in areas where one "side" is prominent, the other puts on airs. Out in my country small-"city" my liberal friends "just aren't in to politics" but can get pretty passionate when I'm talking to them one on one. When I was in university I used to constantly say I wasn't into it or didn't pay much attention, when in reality I pray to god that the far right parties in Europe make gains before the entire continent becomes one ambiguous mocca colored mass of low-lifes and corporate drones with no sense of identity, history, or self worth.

William Powell
>You should talk to those people more. What I've found is those "apolitical" types typically actually do hold pretty strong beliefs one way or the other, maybe not with political parties themselves but the ideologies underlying them.
I do sometimes but they seem almost entirely centrist and rational, if they have any interest.
Rather than clinging to an ideology like that right or left does they think issues out sensibly.
A few rich friends I've talked to about politics and they didn't know a thing -- although it could be possible they simple didn't want to discuss it but they were acting *too well*.
Like i can't think of a single time when they brought up political issues now that I think about it, in any capacity. Everything is always just straight to the point, none of this bullshit like eternally poor people do such as go on these huge discussion and ponderings about "How wealth should be distributed", "the poor/rich in this country...blahblahblahblah... taxes blahblahblah". Never.
It's always straight to the point, and direct.
James Watson
Anecdotally speaking, the people who are vocal Liberal/Progressives tend to be very unhealthy.
Kayden Harris
Eh, it's not so much the hive mind as it is the underlying understanding that "freedom" has context. You can't threaten someone, for example, and say it's free speech. The defense of it then comes to deciding what constitutes a threat.
Link for example is what convinced me to stop watching porn, it talks about porn as a form of control and how Americans (in particular catholics) never saw pornography as freedom of speech and thus should rightfully be banned. The (((people))) arguing that it was in fact freedom of speech were, well, who else? youtube.com/watch?v=AMmOAd2FVrE

Because body building is the ultimate Republican system, you only ever are able to get out as much as you put in. No more, no less. There is no equality for all, your gains can not be taken and given to another, your gains are and only ever will be for you and for others to look upon with envy.

/pol/ is the realest board on this god forsaken fucking forum. literally every other board has its head up its ass and lacks self awarness. on every other board people do nothing else but brag and try to get attention. especially this piece of shit board. everybody is trying so hard to seem like an elitist piece of shit, constantly trying to prove something. having been rejected by society you desperately seek to stand out in a sea of nameless, faceless, talentless, worthless weebs, neets, rejetcs and autists. it really saddens me how people think that a comment they make is going to have any fucking impact in the real world. you are nothing. you will always be nothing. your peers will always think you are a weird, socially awkward, timid little person. i pitty all of you and i hope that you will one day wake up and realise that you are a burden to everyone around you and just fucking end yourself. please know that no one will ever mourn you. a conversation about your death would go something like:
>did you know user died? >who? >that kid who always sat alone at recess >oh, i always thought that guy going to shoot up the achool at some point >oh well, wanna get some taco bell?
please think about what i've said and try to make some changes in your life or better yet just fucking kill yourself.
Hudson Reed
it's simple. Check out the recent turmoil between gold medalists in Greece and the left goverment. They said that olympic medalists are just lazy people who compete once every 4 years and it isnt a big deal, they said that to Pyrros Dimas.
Getting to that sport level requires discipline and hard work which the leftists dont posses thats why they hate everything related to sports and fitness.

Nicholas Hall
There are plenty of fatties on both sides. Fitness, in and of itself, is not specifically a right or left wing thing.
However, the whole "body acceptance", "body positivity", HAES, SJW, "thin privilege" stuff, THAT is 100% a left wing invention.
Ryder Fisher
Right wingers are generally stupid. I mean you have to be to believe in arbitrary stuff like tradition to be the conduit of proper behavior and social interactions. Also, leftist ideals are related to work, which makes you rather tired to pursue bodyubuilding in top of it. On the left in the meantime, only the extreme are as stupid, and they tend to rant on tumblr or join a hippie commune.
Ryder Richardson
Its simply down to Bodybuilding being a product of self reliance it caters more to the right wing ideals of working for yourself to see results, unlike the left who are generally cucks that think they are entitled to equality in this world of kill or be killed.
