An opinion article from MSNBC suggested that White supremacists may be using fitness groups to help recruit new members.
The column titled, "Pandemic fitness trends have gone extreme — literally" focused primarily on the assertion that far-right White supremacist groups are using online workout chats to find and encourage extremist beliefs.

First they close down the gyms, and now they say their actions, caused their so called concern.
The msnbc crowd are literally insane.
Neurotic atheistic leftists are usually the ones fanatical about preserving bodily health and life, thinking eternity will be a black hole or realizing that they are gonna be in trouble at the Judgment.
Time to investigate all those tea-drinkers, too, for fascist leanings!

So now physical fitness = Hitler.
That’s new territory right there.
Cynthia Miller-Idriss, the author is the extremist. Good Lawd.
One of my relatives is from Chicago. She’s so proud of herself for still wearing a mask and has gotten all the vaccines she can. She’s worried about the “new” Covid variant now.
I’ve learned that you can’t reason with people who believe such stuff...vaccines, masks, fascist exercise, etc.
The Nazis did promote physical fitness, that's a fact.
The Hitler Youth exercised regularly, went on hikes and of course, took military training.
The League of German Girls did pretty much the same, excluding the military training.
They were taught to be good German mothers and raise lots of children for the Fuhrer.
Yes, Nazis drank coffee and had jobs, too, so those things must be bad, right?
Okaaaay....
Physical fitness and Nazis? I don’t think Merman Goering got the message.
Dem President JFK emphasized physical fitness. There was actually a song about Washington Chicken Fat.
Fine, let physical fitness be the sole realm of white supremacy. I’m about to get on my white supremacist exercise bike in a few.
JFK followed up Eisenhower's 1956 public concerns about fitness of America's youths. That didn't get the media attention that JFK's program of guidelines did.
THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT TAKES ON PHYSICAL FITNESS
Was in a DC high school at the time when the 45 min once a week gym class changed from teaching sports to 2 class of 1.5 hrs per week stressing physical fitness using the guidelines.
Chin ups, rope climb, sit-ups, push ups and running to achieve levels of guidelines. Our baseball coach went one step further. Last class of the week was what he called Ranger work outs...running laps around the gym dropping at his whistle for push-ups, whistle get up and run laps...then paired us off for piggyback 4 or 5 laps. Jr year I started bulking up so I was paired with Ray at 275 lbs..damn could barely get up to a trot that SOB, back breaker but didn't quit. Time to switch he couldn't carry me at 175 lbs. Ray later eas joking there was no way he could do any high jump, tripped and broke his ankle.
Our JR-ROTC took up modified Marine challenge of 50 mile hike in 20 hrs or less...we did 25 miles under 8 hrs...twice, once to Mt Vernon, then to the yet to be completed Dulles Airport. During drill screwups and wise guys got to jog a lap with M1 at high port.
What’s next...knitting circles are racists?
I knew people like that here in Massachusetts. The amazing thing is that there is no evidence that any of it even works. The only that actually works is total isolation.
And by extension 'Putin=Hitler=physical fitness'! Pretty soon the folks will show up, who call people 'gay' if they don't want World War Three over Ukraine, and it'll morph into:
'gay=Putin=Hitler=physical fitness'
At which point we've basically got 'physical fitness=gay', which reminds me of 'education=too whitey' (popular in African-American culture ;>), so maybe the lefties will like physical fitness again...

Thank you msnbc, for re-inspiring my gym membership!
