TIME Says That Exercise Has White Supremacist Origins. Thoughts?

I Agree.

I Disagree.

also Shark Week is racist because of the Great White Shark

[Curmudgeon]

This is what the Demunist Commiecrats have been reduced to.

[Curmudgeon]

Then again, why should I be surprised? Just as they mastered "The Soft Bigotry Of Low Expectations" with academic performance and work ethic, now it is being applied to health care.

[Siri137]

That's NOT what they're claiming! Did you think that none of use would actually click on the link? What I found to be the most ridiculous claim, is to be found in this paragraph:

"Gym usage is rebounding rapidly since the pandemic [lockdown ordinances], but now it’s also really efficient for a lot of people to exercise at home. What’s so unfortunate about the pandemic is how much it accelerated fitness inequality. You can go home and be on your Peloton if you can afford it, if you have the space for it, but not everyone can."

It's almost as though no one has ever come across the notion of going for a walk, or run. A person doesn't need fancy gym equipment to exercise, they just need to get off their lazy ass! Hell, at a nearby lake where I live, there is actually FREE exercise equipment on the track that goes around it. The "journalist" who wrote this article is a bit of an idiot, but then of course it is TIME magazine, so I shouldn't be surprised by that.

[Siri137]

Actually, hang on, they ARE saying that. However, the way you presented it here made it seem as though exercise itself is somehow "white supremacist" (or maybe I just saw it that way, because nothing would surprise me anymore, and I kind of expected it). Sorry :(

According to the new "woke", everything is white supremacist. They are trying hard to push that message, and a lot of morons will swallow it.

It's not just white supremacists who are white supremacist anymore. ALL white people are white supremacist now because that's how Democrats demonize non-Democrats and how Zionist (Talmudic) globalists plan to conquer the world.

[Avicenna]

Kindly do not blame Jews for this nonsense and come up with delusional conspiracy theories about them. And note that Klaus Schwab's father was a Nazi.

[Lliam]

@Avicenna. So no Jew can ever be blamed for anything?
I was only referring to followers of Talmudic teachings of which Zionism is an offshoot. Many Jews reject that shit.

[Avicenna]

There are two fallacies with your thinking. Globalism is a leftist ideology that members of different ethnic groups support- it's not "Talmudic" as you posit. Your problem is with leftists of various ethnic groups, not Jews. And Jewish leftists of the sort that support globalism don't identify with their Jewish heritage in the least. Their identity is as hardcore leftists, so leftist ideology is their religion. So singling out Jews is not reasonable or justified. Ethnicity is irrelevant to whether one supports globalism.

That type of thinking is what one sees in deluded fools that believe (d) in that notorious forgery "The Protocols of the Elders of Zion".

[Lliam]

@Avicenna. I didn't single out Jews. Did I mention Judaism or the Torah? I mentioned a particular ideology that some Jews subscribe to. In fact some non-Jews subscribe to it.
I doubt if you know much about it.

[Avicenna]

To go out of your way to mention Zionism and Jews as you did wasn't an accident, and you can't just act like it's no big deal. It's part of the anti-Jewish libel that Jews are not loyal to any nation, one that we've seen expressed even more crudely and much more directly than you have. That anti-Jewish libel was one that Hitler and the Nazis also expressed.

The Talmud doesn't have anything to do with the globalist ideology. Note that Mainland China has been by far the largest beneficiary of globalist ideology.

[Lliam]

@Avicenna. 😭😭😭 You've been programmed. Learn some history.

[Avicenna]

I have. You clearly haven't.

[Lliam]

@Avicenna Yeah right. Clearly. LOL

[AngryCarl2]

Systematic exercise is thought to have been invented by the Greeks and Spartans. I'm not sure if the Greeks and Spartans were white supremacists or just fervently patriotic nationalists but no doubt it's a culture that white supremacists celebrate.

[stepyo99]

I agree. Non whites should turn into fat slobs to fight the white devil.

[Curmudgeon]

Based upon BMI index data, most African and Hispanic Americans already have... which is why this nonsense is truly poisonous. It is "The Soft Bigotry Of Low Expectations" applied to health care.

[Avicenna]

I'd like to see the idiots who believe that to tell that to East African marathoners

[FunkyMonkee]

Yeah, you just go right ahead and keep believing all that brainwashing bullshit!!

[findacure4wokeness]

What is a White Supremacist anyway? almost all modern culture is appropriated white culture originally.

[Dargil]

Like Kenyan long distance runners, NBA and NFL f'rinstance?

[exitseven]

Is TIME magazine still a thing? Publishing BS like this will not help circulation.

[DextroShade]

These woketards promote and glorify obesity so is it a surprise. By all means, weaken yourselves further you woke idiots as it will make it easier for us to wipe out your worthless asses in the next civil war.

[Staximus]

This is the dumbest shit I've ever heard in my life. People have been trying to make themselves stronger since we started fighting tribal wars, and that was long before white people even existed.

[ericclayton]

People that write these "hot takes" are a laughing stock. It's all about clicks.

[richardcory]

Don't care - the origins of exercise have nothing to do with whether its a good thing

[XXblack88]

I disagree running and walking are exercise and man been to that from the beginning of time.

[Anonymous]

What mentally normal person would ever read TIME Magazine?

[chico800]

Why do you pay so much attention to this kind of idiocy?

[Anonymous]

Never heard of them, but they don't look like supremacists.

[Snakeyes7]

Not surprised that time would say that.

[KrakenAttackin]

TIME is a woke, cuck, POS, magazine.
