Came across this massive cope on Xitter. HAES activist called The Inflammatory Fat is so pissed that everyone is ignoring black fatness and anti fat discrimination (or not doing enough about it) that she starts reposting the original 1973
Fat Liberation Manifesto almost in its entirety

LOL, she's mad because fatties won't rise up and take real action.
Having worked with deathfats in the past, I can say this: they do not initiate any action unless either forced to do it, or because it will result in high emotional rewards for relatively little effort.
So they do tend to get angry at unwanted conditions and circumstances, but unless they know they can get the desired results quickly and easily, they will generally wallow in their discontent rather than take action.
That FA/FatLib/BoPo has made as much progress as it has is entirely due to the existence of the internet, which makes finding like-minded others and coordinating a social movement easy. There's also a small percentage of deathfats with enough initiative and drive to take some sort of real-world action, showing up somewhere besides the internet, and thus serve as figureheads—Virgie Tovar, the organizers of FatCon, Ashleigh/Hunter Shackleton, Lindy West, Tess Holliday, Ragen Chastain, and, until recently, Corissa Enneking are examples.
The rest confine their activism—or, rather, their inactivism—to social media echo chambers, which allows them to feel like they're doing something to change the world, when really they're just part of a big fatty hugbox. But even if they did get off their couches, leave the house, and go participate in protests, or engage in some meaningful form of political action, they still wouldn't be taken seriously or make much lasting progress because everybody knows (including deathfats themselves) that being a deathfat is self-inflicted. It's less effort, and more rewarding, to stay on the couch, posting to other politicized fats on social media, so no shit that's what they do.
