Fat hatred, among other things.

.

I recently got caught up in a debate with someone regarding a video she put up.  She claims to be a libertarian conservative.  This video reminds me, to my mind, of some of the stupider far left tripe, from when I was of that belief system.


To be honest, I do believe the hatred against the fat, and it often extends to the old, is from the left.  It stems from several things.  Some believe they have a right to be young forever, part of the delusion.  Some believe the government should be in charge, including of medical care, and believe the government would fix fatness and the fat are a drain on the economy as such.  How quickly they forget the bag ladies of the former U.S.S.R. and the bloc countries!  Fat people are an expense on such a system.  Further, beyond youth being a right, they hate that they are getting old.  My last lady told me, straight out, that she hates old people because she was becoming one.  She couldn't see any good in that.  Whether she follows through or not, she indicated suicide was the way to deal with it.  Sad.

The young looking old women, who are beyond childbearing, really shouldn't try to look nubile.  It's gross.  To fertile young men, further, it is confusing.  We are dying faster than we are living, minus legal and illegal immigrants.  Go get a gut if you can't have a baby.  And quit trying to act like a damned teeny-bopper.  And, the announcer?  If she doesn't like it, really?  Why not get the hell out?  Because she is exceptional?  No, because she is exactly a definition of the problem.  She's got it good and makes it by complaining, offering no solutions only typical leftist nag stuff.  Bleh.  How much do you want to bet she spends more on looking good than most families make in a year?  And, exactly, when has she fed a family, rightly?  Does she garden?  Does she even cook?

The woman I am debating has come up with the notion that people in America are fat because of bad food.  Monsanto!  The rally cry.  But that isn't the reason.  For one thing, they keep changing what is considered overweight, obese, and some other things.  In the last, what, 20 to 30 years, vast numbers of people who had been "normal" for decades were suddenly marked as, at first, overweight, then obese.  How did science come about doing that?  Second, if she wants to blame someone for bad food, blame women.  Men don't, possibly can't, handle food, nutrition, and such.  Leaving it to me, and I will have meat and often.  I will have veggies, perhaps, but only with butter and sour cream.  That... well, it's tasty, but it doesn't work, especially family wide.  The problem isn't Monsanto, it is women who are too damned busy spending money or talking on the phone or doing their hobbies or "working" to make a meal plan for the week, shop for the items, then produce a balanced meal.  (I use quotes because their work rarely actually leads to making money, they are a cost, a drain, and lower wages for men).

Another thing she is not looking at is the notion that both wild and lab animals have gained weight in the last decade or two.  Despite, for the latter, scientific feeding that is meant to keep that in check.  Something else is going on, so blaming people for a phenomenon that seems systemic, beyond just people, and probably environmental, is foolish.  Possibly evil but definitely ignorant and priggish.  My guess is that the amount of female hormones, from the wide usage of the pill, is in the water... along with tons of other pharmaceuticals, but the weight gain could easily be explained by that... as well as infertility and disinterest in coupling.

I could go very deeply into all of the things in that first video, but... why?  It isn't conservative.  It might be left libertarian, but that is pretty much Democrat country, and sometimes worse.  Jump and shout for America?  Wave the flag and give a pass?  She obviously doesn't read here or she would know, if I had health, I would be getting out.  This ship is not sinking, it has steered itself into the shoals and jammed the controls to full blast.  So, no, not exactly a flag waver...  Gah!
