This is an individualist approach, a productivist one and a validist one. I see you point : people shall prepare But the next question is : to do what ?

If you want to prepare to run: run if you want to prepare to climb : climb if you want to prepare to fight : fight

This not an RPG, muscles could act counter-productively (it's weight more, and need more calories).

But most importantly, prepare to do it collectively. Some of us have the health and condition to prepare to do some of this, and may need to be recall that they have a responsibility to do so, because some of us don't. Futhermore in most situations it's better to be 3 people not well prepared than one fit. So take care of you community and make it grow

    this reads like it was copy pasted from a translation app. What is a validist, productivist, individualist approach? its such a bizarre critique of a meme.

    Is more an injonction than a meme ; it implies that we should "go to gym" to oppose to fascists. So it suppose that strong and athletics body are more valid for antifascism than the others. Gym, exercise and workout are more linked with work than with games : we try to improve our performances, making stats, having regularity and so on. According to Johan Huizinga in "Homo Ludens", sports is the opposite of game, and is how the modern era twist games to match desires of productive bodies.

    I'm not saying that sports, gym, workout, box, running are bad; if people enjoy it, it's enough. However I think the the injonction is counter-productive. For every situation we may wish to have a shaped body they is a collective answer that more people participate : so it's more inclusive and create more social link
