Like, why does a gym attract so many dickheads. I’m just there minding my own damn business when I overhear dudes talking about how they are ‘going to get so much pussy for lifting’ and whatever dumb shit. It’s a constant stream of male garbage coming from all around you. My fault for not wearing headphones I guess.
Is that why you lift? Really? Are most gym bros just terminally insecure man children? Fucking hell man. Who unironically talks like that? I know I’m probably in a bubble as a sober, vegan communist but still.
I just cannot jive with someone who thinks that human beings as a species are stupid, point-blank. That is a useful (incorrect) excuse to sweep away the consequences of real systemic choices made by pro-capitalist governments of the past and present, which have brought us into this position we are in. On this same comment fork, I respond to the binary person on why there is a distinction between talking about gym goers in the western sphere of influence and humanity…
The intensity of your reaction seems overblown.
Sure, there are larger, systemic forces at work that have led the world to this point, but it can also be fairly argued that the average human is…average. Our leaps and bounds of progress are generally only found by aggregating the work of the entire species, over lifetimes of toil.
What about that bothers you so much? You respond like it was something deeply personal, and not a generalization, or reflection of our current society. Moreover, you just seem angry. Which is off-putting.
