Yup. Add CrossFit.

Reposted from Lupita Nihongo

People don't believe me when I say that Brazilian Jiu Jitsu is a pipeline.

CrossFit is even bigger of a pipeline than BJJ. CrossFit was literally founded and ran by a buch of racist and queerphobic evangelicals.

Plus, the CrossFit methodolgy is notoriously unhealthy.

I've spent a decent amount of time training in Krav Maga/Boxing/Muay Thai on and off since 2015, and the past year has been ESPECIALLY fucking awkward/cringe in these spaces. Training with the folks you're training to protect yourself against fuckin SUCKS.... the pipeline is so strong & real :(

This makes sense. A buddy of mine was super into crossfit, got ripped. Saw him for the first time in about a year, and he was doughy again. Asked him what happened to his crossfitting. He dismissed the question. I figure it being a pipeline is why

It works. Then it goes to diet like Paleo or keto and that was cool. Then it goes to anti vaccines and that's when I left. And this was like 2013!

Had a flaming liberal friend who started CrossFit, and got really into it. Turns out she met some religious military guy, and turned completely MAGA. Still blows my mind.
