on health/success... yet again.
i am so sick of the alarmist "if you're fat you're callously/willfully stealing and wasting my health care!" argument. honestly, even if it's not socialized it's not like it's finite. it's not the fucking legend of zelda. we aren't fighting over treasure in the dungeon. if you get there after me, i promise those hearts will be replenished. you can still fill your life bar if/when you need it.
health is subjective. it is relative. nobody owes anyone "good health" let alone society's narrow idea of what it means to be "healthy/in shape."
also telling me "sickness will catch up with me" is likewise idiotic. you know what else will catch up with me, you, and everyone who isn't a vampire? DEATH. it doesn't matter how many marathons you run or how much carob you eat instead of chocolate, those skeletal hands will one day close around your shoulder (fat or thin).
this bizarre "OMG IT'S RUNNING OUT, STOP TAKING MY SHARE" argument also applies to success. it's not about creating enemies/toppling others. there should be enough opportunities for everyone if we stopped freaking the fuck out and sabotaging each other and buying into a system that tells us the only way to get anywhere is to hierarchize, belittle/take credit for the work of others.
