fascist fitness” groups focused on recruiting young men and radicalizing them with neo-Nazi and white supremacist ideology. The recruits are roped in with exercise tips, and then exposed to far-right content.
MSNBC recently published an article on this troubling phenomenon, which is certainly worth reporting on. However, the network’s tweet makes it seem like right-wing extremists have co-opted the thirst trap.

In response to the article, a member of Gay Twitter™ issued a challenge to his 57,000+ followers: “QT this with a pic if you’re far left and obsessed with fitness, tryna see something.”Almost immediately, gays started to flood our timelines with shirtless selfies and workout pics.
There’s one for every occasion, including fighting fascism!https://t.co/P0KT71ogDy pic.twitter.com/1qgPJNRIV6https://t.co/XTmMn4lmJi pic.twitter.com/38HJ8lGyIFLike FAAAARRR Left.
