https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2022/mar/06/fascist-fitness-how-the-far-right-is-recruiting-with-online-gym-groups

The article talks about how far-right groups use self-improvement to recruit people into their own ranks by associating positive change with Fascism.

As a former Fascist, this is basically how I got into the ideology and stayed because I had experienced genuine positive change in my life and I thought that this was somehow the miracle of Fascism.

Which made me wonder, what are left wingers opinion on fitness in general? What are their ways of combating the above issue I just mentioned?

>What are leftists stance on fitness?
Being physically active enough to be healthy is necessary, anything past that is pointless, but whatever floats your boat.

> What are their ways of combating the above issue I just mentioned?

I think it's only a certain type and race of guy going down the fascism rabbit hole. I dunno how to combat it on a wide scale, not anything more than what's currently done. It's kind of like asking how to stop pedophillia. Pedophiles are gonna keep finding kids to groom, fascists and US military recruiters are going to keep finding directionless impressionable boys, you can only really stop it on an individual basis.

I guess the only way to stop it on a wide scale would be to put out messaging that works on these guys and dissuades them of going down that path.

obvious pol bait thread is obvious but as a serious strength athlete (450+ wilks, 630/420/670) I will say that I've noticed that rightoids actively drive people out of specialized gyms and niche sports by being weird assholes about everything

trying to extrapolate some political aspect to strength doesn't really correlate to reality - from experience at powerlifting meets all the dipshits with blue lives matter punisher skull tattoos can barely hit a four plate squat or a three plate bench let alone any actual fitness goal in a real sport

the idea that fitness is right-wing is just larping on their part, none of them actually do anything.

Do you really think I'm seething about this I'm a labourer lad, just got home from work

I've seen other research that suggests that strong working class men tend towards the left and weak ones tend towards the right where for the bourgeois it is the opposite

I wonder whether it's the difference in metrics used actual strength vs upper vs lower body ratios for this study which suggests more narcissism that physical strength

You do actual real physical work and your legs will be tree trunks son

Both problems can be understood as symptomatic of systemic issues, insofar as the underlying pertinence is addressed, the concordant problems will organically whither or taper off.
While it's difficulty to fully assess causes, we can at least be certain of some negatives (i.e. things that don't help, and probably exacerbate issues).
In the case of fascism, an increasingly atomised and economically precarious/directionless youth will be supervened upon by identity politics in the wake of their emptiness. If the promise of said identity politics relates to some notion of inborn/innate superiority for your particular demographic, then it evokes a sense of existential reclamation.

Pedophilia? The media and porn (specifically as far as the fixation on infantilization, i.e. excessive emphasize on the preservation and aesthetic of youthfulness, overly-codified dynamics of submissiveness to the point of sexualized 'cute' docility, don't help. There's even research showing an increase in the likelihood of someone indulging in Cheese Pizza the more depraved and lasting their exposure to porn becomes.
