Guardian Denounces Physical Fitness

If it is healthy or constructive, it is only a matter of time before the liberal establishment denounces it. Consider physical fitness. Zoe Williams at the Guardian already has. She is “angry as a bull,” as she puts it, because last Thursday was Fitness Day:

[T]he problem is with fitness itself.

I have been writing a fitness column for a year and in this time I’ve digested very little about what exercise does for your body. I still have to Google what counts as maximum-intensity every time I feel moved to talk about it, which is all the time – but I know everything about what it does to your personality, and none of it is pretty.

Leave it to the flagship publication of the British liberal media to have a fitness column written be someone who dislikes fitness.

Unavoidably, over time, this makes you more rightwing, as you descend into an aerobics-powered moral universe where only the weak need each other, and all the strong need is a waterpouch in their backpack that pipes straight into their mouths.

From the viewpoint of the liberal establishment, it would be better to degenerate into a rotting blob of suet than to become “more rightwing.”

This may point to why people become moonbats. It is easier to establish self-esteem by conforming to the officially correct ideology than it is to earn self-respect in ways that require effort and discipline.

Hat tips: Power Line, Maggie’s Farm.
