99% of the people I've encountered peddling this line of thought with no interest in challenging it have been unhealthy sedentary shutins trying to cope with their own sloth by spinning it as a virtue; I've met a very tiny number of actual health-conscious people who bought into this and tried to keep their heartrates down with meditation and the like. Donald Trump also believes that exercise uses up your lifetime allotted heartbeats and he's not particularly known for his physical health.
>I'm sure you'll live as long as an Okinawan
My family members generally live into their late 90s and early 100s and all advocate some form of lifelong exercise. I'll be cutting, splitting, and stacking firewood with one of my grandfathers next weekend. A few weekends ago we dug a ditch and carried timbers and rocks together. He keeps very active both in terms of deliberate exercise and a generally physically active lifestyle.
>Okinawan who never stepped foot oot inside a gym.
Okinawan longevity has been linked to their physical activity; the dwindling of Okinawan longevity has been linked to a decline in physical activity. The automobile has been blamed for this change. Substituting deliberate exercise as a surrogate for pre-industrial lifestyle activities is a common remedy globally.

This has been understood since Antiquity and reconfirmed by modern research and understanding. Anyone arguing against it is generally either some kind of misguided orientalist hipster or someone trying to excuses their own lack of discipline and self-care.

>i never thought about it like that
You're exactly the sort of person who should read Meditations and other Stoic works.

You can supplement l theanine to help with caffeine anxiety. Reducing (or eliminating) your dosage will help once you get past the withdraw symptoms.

>i go gym pretty often 6 days out of the week
What do you actually do in the gym? Standard strength training is important but intense cardio, HIIT, and combat sports do more to keep my head on straight.

They saw it as a catalyst for turning internet shitposting into real world action. They saw what we did with the 2016 US Presidential election and wanted to make sure nothing like that ever happened again. There are papers published about shitting up 4chan in order to keep it from being politically relevant and there's at least one published paper on /sig/ in particular (https://doi.org/10.1057/s41599-021-00732-x).

Very true. /sig/ - Self Improvement General threads used to be offered as a counterbalance to this. The jannies hate you and want to see you wallowing in your internet containment zone instead of learning useful things in this place and flourishing in the real world.

I see the early 2010s /sig/ and Iron Pill posting as reactionary to the wave of people going chronically online starting circa 2007, similar to the Muscular Christianity movement popping up in reaction to the unhealthy lifestyles ushered in by the Industrial Revolution.

The average professional bodybuilder, who slams PEDs but has excellent exercise and nutrition, outlives the average man but has a shorter lifespan than most other professional athletes.

This. There's not enough physical labor to keep most men healthy and sane in modern society. Barbell training is the most time-efficient mode of strength training, which is necessary for resilience into old age.

Trump golfs. Putin is a judoka. Bezos lifts. Musk used to lift before he went down the k-hole. Zuck does CrossFit, MMA, and BJJ.

Serious martial artists lift. Your wrestlers have a strong tradition of this with weighted clubs.

Exercise is good for your mental and physical health. You need to go dwarfmode.

Arm and train teachers, isolate children from internet groomers, give students time to freely associate at school to compensate for the death of third spaces in the community, and bring back physical fitness standards for students.

Part of the reason people reacted so poorly to your post is that trannies will often make posts here asserting that troons pass IRL as bad-faith propaganda posts rather than legitimate discussion points. This place has always been quick to dogpile on posts perceived as stupid or malicious. I only replied after seeing that you'd posted a lot in the thread about misunderstood intent and were trying to have a real conversation.

Go for a run or something. A thread on a shitposting board shouldn't be getting you worked up.

>So what is the end goal of browsing /pol/?
It's an information aggregate and free-ish speech shitposting platform. Use it to have fun and to reflect on /pol/ topics.
>What the hell am I even supposed to do?
Pic related. Get yourself squared away first and then build a strong family and community around you.
>My family was disgusted by me when I attempted expressing
Skill issue.
>Every White person I know IRL is an extremely retarded goycattle who would gladly report "antisemitic bigots" to ZOG.
Some of my normie white friends have started sharing decade-old /pol/ memes on Instagram and the like. Do more interesting things and meet more interesting people.
>Every "White nationalist" on the internet is a fucking larping spic. All the actual White ones are pussies who shit on anymore who tries to do something and thinks that everything will magically fix itself.
Lazy doomer opinion The conversation on remigration has shifted radically in the decade since /pol/ memed Donald Trump into office and there's a lot of good work going on by a lot of people.
>White women are terrible, yet most White nationalists are simps and refuse to talk about this issue, and will gladly call you an "incel" for mentioning it.
Everybody talks about this. Very few modern women of any race are wife material.
>The average "White nationalist" would advise you to marry a slut who's fucked a gorillion other men just because "well at least she's White, bro! She's a wholesome trad Christian now!"
Don't be average. Don't marry sluts. This isn't radical advice.

Even when his manifesto was first published a good number of academics were agreeing with his premise while condemning his methods. He's commonly considered "insane" for the bombing, not the writing.

Based and true. Just like the Muscular Christianity movement that produced Teddy Roosevelt, Ted Kaczynski recommends physical exercise to offset the ills of the Industrial Revolution.
