holy fuck as a guy who deadlifts 400+ I literally can't have ANY lifting friends because there's a 95% chance anyone who is that strong is either a self identified neoliberal, an actual Nazi, or OVERWHELMINGLY a libertarian or (not even a meme) ancap
Self-improvement was a mistake, it just makes libertarians. (But you're cool, friend. :) ) I don't lift heavy but I'd cheer you on if I saw you at the gym.
It's because lonely males spend more time on the internet, and saw either 1) lifting or 2) white identity as ways to improve/cope (respectively) with their situation
This started becoming popular in the late 2000s, (bodybuilding forums + 4chan) and over time the two merged and you have the current zeitgeist
Yes, YES, YES

Just like everything else, capitalism and grifters ruined it.
