The whole ‘body positivity’ thing is fundamentally anti-Fascist in nature. Striving towards a spiritual and physical ideal is seen as threatening towards the concept of Equality, as it implies some people are better than others and are not inherently worth the same.
Equality strives to bring everyone down to the lowest common denominator. Thus, the notion of people being physically fitter and more beautiful, and that being hailed as the ideal, are incredibly threatening to the current order.
Slogans like “All bodies are beautiful” are coping mechanisms for the weak, ugly, and morbidly obese. This is why Equality is such an appealing concept to many, because they demand recognition as being worthy of the same respect as their superiors without working towards this. If you ever wonder why the vast majority of committed Leftists that demand ‘Equality’ and oppose ‘body shaming’ are physically and morally repulsive, this is why.
Fascism promoted the belief that there was a heroic ideal that we should strive towards. A healthy mind, a healthy body, a healthy nation. There were no fat lads in the Hitler Youth, and no fat girls in the League of German Maidens. It’s no surprise that almost all of Arno Breker’s sculptures were destroyed by the allies. It’s no surprise that all of the fitness manuals and schoolbooks in Germany were destroyed after the war. The future was to be one of ugliness, mediocrity, and equality.
