I’m talking about deeply held beliefs you have that many might disagree with here or deem to be incompatible with Marxist ideology. I’m interested because I doubt everyone here is an ideological robot who all share the same uniformity in belief

    Yeah I still don’t agree with that. That shit is more a side effect of unhealthy weight gain and people looking for acceptance in a society that has demonized overweight people than a cause of it and I don’t think attacking that does jack shit for people’s health.

      I bet the acceptance BS is doing a lot of good, right? This is why there exists no middle ground with people refusing to accept what is wrong. There is no acceptance of people, who act as a liability for the rest of society, expecting to be accepted and carried.

      The reason why I called this out is precisely because it is always about the fat people just being fat, with a mysterious reality separation from why and how they became fat. This is liberal thinking.

        And placing the blame for social issues on individuals is not liberal thinking? Unless you think “fat acceptance” is the primary issue that overrides the replacement of culture with commercialism and how that has affected food consumption as well as created incredibly unhealthy and addictive processed foods? Because all that comes across in your comments is that you think overweightness is the result of a moral deficiency

          Putting the blame is a far, far less consequential act than the act of consciously having stuffed food in your mouth and not taking care of your health. People do not need over 2000 calories a day. Overweightness is largely the result of immoral choices against your body.
