I think I’ve figured out why a lot of liberal types hate weightlifting and people who improve themselves that way. It’s related to the real reason many women (and more than few men) hate pick-up artist stuff: it’s that people are upgrading themselves “artificially,” achieving advantages they otherwise would not have been able to attain.

To many libs, there is the way you “really” are (whatever the fuck that means) and improving yourself beyond that is seen as an unearned advantage. They don’t see education that way, of course, because it’s the terrain on which PMC-class libs were born competing, so they just view that as the natural order of things — even though, logically, from their diseased viewpoint it should be no different.

Upgrading yourself outside the narrow spectrum of the approved areas elicits their scorn, which in truth should be worn like a badge of honor.
