Oh, I don’t just stop at capitalism. My problem with wellness goes into the competitive “superpower” fitness, the individualism, which is the twin brother of fascist supremacist thinking personal beliefs. They go hand in hand.

When the rich assholes are rich enough, they start to realize that money isn’t enough. Health is more important, and “performance” even more so as a type of peak health, peak… exploitation of the body. Hence, the obsession with competitive longevity and health as a way to show both status and “superior” genes / “divine” providence. You can see that in a different form in the TESCREAL ideology. There’s a type of passive fascism: they want to outlive the “other”, to outperform them (instead of murder). Of course, this fits perfectly with the object of structural violence which is this indirect murder by negligence and by making entire environments more dangerous; also like collateral damage. Like what the IF are doing in Gaza now: genocide by starvation, exhaustion, disease, lack of water – all seemingly ancient and “natural” ways of dying that don’t directly point to a killer. And that’s how you can see the bridge between wellness and fascism: they want private health, they want structural violence, they hate public health, aid, welfare and so on.

You have to wrap your head around fascist optimism; it’s this dyad where deceit/disinfo/grifting occurs simultaneously with a naive belief that it might all be true, at least for them; like the story of an illusionist who believes that they can figure out true magical superpowers, if only they find some occult solutions or believe hard enough to “manifest” (yes, ‘The Secret’ too).

The depressing thing is that this bullshit is everywhere, which means that fascists have a very large pool to recruit from.
