But then I still have internalized some of this ethos of "healthy life", that I am frustrated for not being able to achieve. Probably my shadow self would be a body cultist, with traditionalist undertones.
The bottom line, poverty or self destructive behavior should not be romanticized
It depends tbh bc poverty is a kinda loose term. I think the concept of not needing money and minimizing material comforts and stuff is a pretty good idea. For instance I dislike American lower middle class or whatever that means bc the lifestyle as a whole is pretty gross.
A poor persons life is definitely good to promote as good in many ways bc I do find middle class existance to be gross and descriptive. Tho for example just being in a situation where u cant get basic stuff to live is bad and not a good plan.
God this shit was embaressing to read then I read the bit about how people should reappropriate gyms and juicers. Are u fucking kidding me. I can't god damn.
Also what's the deal with the focus on gyms. I mean. I'm a skinny nerd or whatever but like I worked plenty of blue collar jobs and I'm strong enough to not have a problem doing anything I need to do. But like, for most stuff u can just do it at home or outside with no stuff. So I don't get this naritive about how people need to go drive to their big place for their exercise prescription.
I'll avoid all the cringe, about community, protest, fighting people, driving back the cops, controlling neighborhoods, community, and all the other crap. Fucking don't dumpster or by a juicer u gotta take over the juice bar by force. I just fucking cant
