We're lazy now so it's more of a cultural relic, but back then our tradesmen ancestors put in extremely long hours basically only exceeded by the Soviets themselves, but their work ethic was also much more intrinsic and less reliant on propaganda or morale, combine that with good diet at the time and they had truly insane energy expenditure some work days. If a farm boy especially were to grow up to be a gman, I can see it being a tell for him to tend to lean on any solid structure, it isn't a matter of dignity for us we just don't want the gravity Jews taxing our energy while we're at rest. Probably even helps a little in us getting fat now that we don't have to do as much intense physical labor. That and still eating like we're trying to carb up for a day of steel working. That's the actual reason Americans started eating so much when they could first afford to, not opulence but so they could work more. Also why white Americans got so tall.
It brings up an interesting bit of cultural history for sure.
