    Financial obesity is an existential threat to any society that tolerates it, and needs to cease being celebrated, rewarded, and positioned as an aspirational goal.

      That’s capitalism. I find the more of a capitalist someone is, the more they worship money and the more they idolize anyone with a lot of it.

      It also seems to be the case that the further you are from capitalism and it’s ideals as a person, the more you’re willing to emphasize with those less fortunate and want to help them to succeed.

      Weird huh?

      Obesity is a nonsense term used by traitors. Let’s not do that. Being fat is fine, capitalism is not.

        I mean, there are proven negative physical and mental effects to being overweight. None apply to everyone but in general being a healthy weight is, well, healthier

          See, you just proved my point. You said “healthy weight” even though there is no such thing, and demonstrably so. You are allowing yourself to adopt capitalist thinking.

              Being fat has nothing to do with capitalism. You are a right wing traitor lunatic who belongs in prison if you believe that nonsense.
