I got into lifting weights through Starting Strength and it's been absolutely fucking bizarre watching it shift into Rippetoes platform for his fascist politics. Occasionally they post insane shit like this article lol

If you want middle class insanity kino go into the COVID thread on the forum

    GOMAD (Gallon Of Milk A Day) is the most effective and ethical way to transition, trans-masculine or trans-feminine, because milk is what the body needs, no matter what those needs are, and yes, the milk knows... It knows all...

    I wish the physical fitness world didn't consist entirely of fascist gym-bro sorts of people.

    I also started on starting strength like 7 years ago. I'm sorry, but there's got to be better programs out there than SS for people to start off with.

    Going from weird nerd grammar and pop-biology to Unironic Lovecraft inside the subtitle? Very normal and extremely cool.

    I like Pavel Tsatsouline's Red Army schtick, even though I know he's most likely a Joe Rogan-style chud. It's fun if you don't read too much into it, and kettlebells are really fun to swing around.

    Fuck Rippetoe, he's hyper reactionary and doesn't have two brain cells to rub together. The literal last straw that got me into veganism was watching him try and defend carnism with laughably bad results for 2 hours.
