Because he's 100% a believer in bootstrap theory and thinks left wingers are sissies, just not because they are cool with gay folks and immigrants like most chuds
I don't know enough to defend him holistically but I don't really think he supports bootstrap theory. He gave a really good speech about the concept. "Don't ever call me a self-made man. The self-made man or woman is a myth" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JflvstAIjtk
Just read up about his record as a governor, absolutely horrendous, and proof that athletes should not become politicians
He's my problematic fave. I love his work, I love some of his personal moments (TW for ableist slur), but I can't really defend him as a whole.
He was born near me. There's an Arnold Schwarzenegger Memorial Hiking Path there. I think that says it all.
