i agree that there are probably reasons to do it but i think the culture that surrounds it vastly exaggerates its importance compared to any sort of actual utility. it's almost like listening to career potheads talk about weed as some sort of wonder drug.

thats cool and all but how are you gonna make people do what you want? by making them feel guilty and shaming them into doing your will? proletarian revolution is simply an affirmation of our call to power, a thirst for dignity and authority to submit others to our class will. those who shake with fear every time a muscular fascist appears at their rally will realize too late what even malnourished naxalite women know - lifting is a must, strength is a must.

you're fantasizing about literally killing someone, for great justice, with your powerful fetish objects muscles.
