Being in shape is transphobic, fat phobic and racist. Yawn.
You have to give it to Texas, they are trying.
And I might actually watch the Miss Universe pageant this year. It could be hysterical.
Dumbass of the Day
We don’t need Republicans like this.
Here is Sen. Tommy Tuberville on CNN. It only takes seconds to know why CNN decided to interview this guy.
A white nationalist is a racist just like a black nationalist is a racist. These people want the country to be only filled with white or black people.
A nationalist, which is what I am, is a person that is an American and believes in this country. That can be of any race. It is the opposite of a globalist which is what most of the Left is.
Let Them Be Fat
Donald Trump went to a UFC MMA fight this past weekend and was cheered and celebrated by the attendees, including one of the fighters, who stepped out of the ring to shake his hand.
The other problem with MMA is that women can’t fight men and vice versa and the most well athletes in the world participate. So it is transphobic and fatphobic.
So you know, it was only a matter of time before MMA was going to be demonized.
Leave it to MSNBC to get the go ahead to tear apart a sport that is traditionally right leaning. And, boy, did they pull all the hyperbolae out for this one. Let’s go through a little of it.
It appears the far right has taken advantage of pandemic at-home fitness trends to expand its decade-plus radicalization of physical mixed martial arts (MMA) and combat sports spaces.
I do want to point out, combat sports are amongst the most diverse sports out their. Racially, everyone participates including women.
Earlier this month, researchers reported that a network of online “fascist fitness” chat groups on the encrypted platform Telegram are recruiting and radicalizing young men with neo-Nazi and white supremacist extremist ideologies. Initially lured with health tips and strategies for positive physical changes, new recruits are later invited to closed chat groups where far-right content is shared.
You know what I need? I need to know what these “far right” groups are talking about. Today, just asking if one is a man or woman is part of “far right” ideology.
Physical fitness has always been central to the far right. In “Mein Kampf,” Hitler fixated on boxing and jujitsu, believing they could help him create an army of millions whose aggressive spirit and impeccably trained bodies, combined with “fanatical love of the fatherland,” would do more for the German nation than any “mediocre” tactical weapons training.
Um, what? Last I heard, far Left civilizations do this too including China and Russia. Hand-to-hand combat is something all militaries are trained in.
I also want to point out that far Left groups, like Antifa, are also trained in hand-to-hand combat.
In more modern times, far-right groups have launched mixed martial arts and boxing gyms in Ukraine, Canada and France, among other places, focused on training far-right nationalists in violent hand-to-hand combat and street-fighting techniques. It’s caught the attention of intelligence authorities, especially in Europe, where various reports have noted the role of combat sports and MMA in radicalizing and promoting far-right violence. A series of collaborative efforts between governments, national sports associations, and local gyms in places such as Germany, Poland and the United Kingdom have introduced intervention and prevention programs.
The U.S. is comparatively far behind, which will only become more and more problematic, especially since the phenomenon is growing in the country, building on the established fight-club culture of MMA far-right extremists. The leader of a Maryland skinhead group, for example, once ran a gym to “recruit and train white supremacists in mixed martial arts.” Four members or associates of the racist, violent Rise Above Movement (RAM), the self-described “premier MMA club of the Alt-Right,” pled guilty to conspiracy to riot after the 2017 Unite the Right rally in Charlottesville, Virginia. An online propagandist for that now-defunct group was spotted among protesters on Jan. 6 last year. When members of the white supremacist group Patriot Front marched in Washington, D.C., in December 2021, they were accompanied by a new media outlet created by RAM’s founder, Robert Rundo, who is working to create a network of far-right MMA “Active Clubs” in the U.S. and abroad.
I don’t know any of the groups listed except for the skinheads. The reason I bring this up is because I don’t know what they define as a far right hate group. For all I know, these are just nationalist groups that are Conservative. Moms for Liberty, a Conservative parental rights group headed by a bunch of mothers, is considered a far right hate group. The border patrol is considered a hate groups by the SPLC.
Also notice that they don’t mention, Antifa or BLM which are still reeking havoc across the country using violence.
The intersection of extremism and fitness leans into a shared obsession with the male body, training, masculinity, testosterone, strength and competition. Physical fitness training, especially in combat sports, appeals to the far right for many reasons: fighters are trained to accept significant physical pain, to be “warriors,” and to embrace messaging around solidarity, heroism, and brotherhood. It’s championed as a tool to help fight the “coming race war” and the street battles that will precede it. Recruits are encouraged to link individual moral virtues such as willpower, decisiveness and courage, with desired collective traits such as virility and manliness. This also works in reverse, with white supremacists encouraging potential recruits or activists to stay in good physical shape as a way of managing self-presentation to the public. The neo-Nazi blogger Andrew Anglin advised his followers that “fat people” should be required to commit to losing weight if they are to stay involved with groups or in-person gatherings, noting that “continued obesity should not be tolerated.”
And there you go. Fitness is far right and intolerant.
I’ll let you in on a little secret, I’m glad they are doing this. I’m glad that being in shape and ready to fight is something the Left sees as white supremacist. Just like I’m glad they don’t like guns. They can’t fight if they are all on the couch eating Cheesy Poofs, weighing 300 pounds with no guns in the house.
Of course, none of this is true. Antifa and BLM are well-armed and are training themselves to fight and in guerilla warfare tactics. The LGBTQ+ cult is beginning to arm themselves and training themselves. They are causing a lot of threats now.
And this begs the question, what is far right and white supremacist? I’m a Conservative, I’m considered far right. I’m considered a white supremacist. I’m not. In fact, I think we are winning because Muslims, blacks, Jews, Hispanics and gays have been jumping on my side because of the BS of the Left and I’m thrilled with it. Jump on in, guys, the water is warm.
So, despite this article, I’ll go to the gym today and do my white supremacist pushups.
At Least He’s Trying
Greg Abbott continues to actually deal with a problem at our southern border.
According to Fox News:
Texas Gov. Greg Abbott on Friday announced that the Lone Star State is installing its “marine barrier installation” as part of its efforts to stop illegal immigration across the U.S.-Mexico border — a move that has brought criticism from left-wing groups.
“New marine barrier installation on the Rio Grande begins today. Texas DPS is overseeing the project in Eagle Pass. More to come,” the governor tweeted.
Abbott had announced the barrier, consisting of orange buoys and intended to discourage migrants from crossing the Rio Grande, last month. It is part of Operation Lone Star, a multifaceted operation to tackle the border crisis amid what Republicans say is a vacuum of leadership from the federal government.
Let’s take a look at what Abbott tried to do but was prevented to do by the Biden administration.:
- He tried to rebuild the wall. Knocked down by a judge.
- He tried to lay down shipping containers. Knocked down by a judge.
- He placed Texas law enforcement on the border. Knocked down by a judge.
- He placed barbed wire on the border. Knocked down by a judge.
This is going to get knocked down by a judge too. This shows two things. First, it shows Joe Biden is actively trying to open the border. Second, it shows that illegal immigration is a problem and Greg Abbott is doing everything he can to solve this problem.
One of the reasons Abbott is laying the barriers out is because people are drowning in the river while trying to cross. The Left is having an issue with this. They’ve decided to say that the barriers are bad for the environment. They do not see the lives of people as being important enough but the environment is.
I’m Enjoying All off This
I like this story. I hope this goes further.
According to the Daily Wire:
Rikkie Kolle, a 22-year-old man, beat out nine women to attain the title of “Miss Netherlands” on Saturday, sparking outrage on social media as many users said the win showed we are experiencing a trend of erasing women.
The Miss Netherlands competition is part of Miss Universe, and Kolle will compete in the 72nd Miss Universe pageant in El Salvador later this year.
This is not being embraced by everybody. The article continues:
“A man just won ‘Miss Netherlands’ 2023,” Dutch commentator Eva Vlaardingerbroek tweeted. “Considering the fact that we live in a post-Truth world, I wasn’t even expecting anything else. It’s all so predictable and unoriginal at this point,” she added.
I want more of this. Women need to get into the game. What would have been big news is not that this guy won but that a bunch of women dropped out because this was competing. That would have been the news.
What would be bigger news is if a bunch of women drop out of Miss Universe because this guy is competing. Let’s face it, this guy has to be the favorite because, if he loses, it’ll be about bigotry.
More of this and I will be rooting for this guy.
