But intellectual honesty means correcting the record when context changes the picture. So do your due diligence kids. I know I will be better going forward. Sorry to Beatrice.

I think too many leftists are honing in on physical capability just in the aspect of fighting- which doesn't mean self defense isnt important- but many seem to be forgetting that revolution is not just a big fight. We need to be able to support our own sovereignty, before during and after. So much of taking back means of production is dependent on both able bodies and those with skillsets. Food production, animal husbandry, shelter building, power and water production, etc. BUT not being able bodied doesnt mean you cant still contribute. Everyone should be honing the skills they can realistically handle. Clothes mending, first aid, food prep, weapons maintanence, hell even being able to reload a mag quickly is a necessary skill. Everyone can help. Even chopping veggies for dinner is a necessary task for the whole group to succeed. I have a chronic joint condition in my knees, I still aspire to work out and find my limits, but I also try to supplement with range practice. I may not be able to run fast but I'm quick with a .22. I cant cook well, but I'm working on local foraging. I'm first aid trained. Even on days where I can't walk without a limp, I can still help! it sounds kinda stupid but I think of it like playing SOD2; you do need strong members, but you also need lichenologists. Your lichenologist may not be super strong, but that doesnt discount how your group wouldn't have medicine without their knowledge. That medicine is just as important as your strong scavengers.

It’s cool that you shared you were confused, but it seems that you still misunderstand what was being said. This clip is not against going to the gym. It’s fighting against the idea that people need to be fit to be worthy and to be in advocacy. Not everyone is able to get swole, especially if you have chronic health problems and are working multiple jobs. You should listen to the podcast in which Beatrice in the video here and her cohost lament being bombarded by people who bought the way the narrative was twisted to be “against working out” when that couldn’t have been further from the point. As someone in public health, people always freak tf out and make the most ridiculous straw man arguments when I mention facts backed up by scientific evidence that they don’t like, like that weight should not be viewed as the primary indicator of health. They lose their shit and say “so you should just eat McDonald’s every day?!?” Jesus no nobody said that. Just like nobody said that we shouldn’t take care of our bodies the best that we can, but that we shouldn’t buy into optimization propaganda that brands disabled and ill people as morally inferior, subhuman, and only worthy of acknowledgment as they are willing to be fixed or be in a constant lamentation and shame of their inferior condition. A lot of leftists need to unlearn healthism, which is the idea that I’m getting at here.

this is an incredible nothing burger. you don't need to be fit to resist, brute force is not the only way. but getting offended when leftists call leftists to work out (clearly meant for those who can work out) is useless, and trying to fix this "misunderstanding" is even more useless. if you can't work out, find other ways to resist and be the voice for that front instead of creating pointless infighting. you do have a place in the overall movement but no one is forcing you into fitness.

Thank you 🙌 god you might be the one person who made this correction good shit comrade watching her get dog piled was so infuriating and It’s nice to see at least one creator understand where she was coming from.

Leftists must stop being losers for even the slightest chance of any meaningful change.

‘Hey mr fascist, i WOULD love to defend my family from you killing them but I didnt go to the gym because the gym is heckin fascist and not wholesome and ableist so i didnt go’

you should workout and try your best to live a healthy life to help your comrades, your community and protect those you love. Any reply to that that's not "I agree" or "I'm unable to but that's ok cause you can always help in other ways" is liberal bs.
