Allie Kieffer NY Times spotlight on how same old thing doesn't work for everyone

I never noticed it before hearing that Allie is interested in Hitler, but now I can't unsee multiple nazi symbols throughout her IG feed. They're really clever and subtle and she often sprinkles in ironic un-nazi hashtags to throw off the casual observer.

I used to read her Instagram. Now I refuse after her Hitler comments.

It will be the ultimate LRC troll if she crosses the finish line with a "seig heil" salute.

I listened to the interview and it's a weird segment. It's not hard to learn about Hitler if you want, especially if you have a psychology background. The dude was a paranoid sociopath, abused and unloved growing up, and dehumanized others enough to see them as worth exterminating. Mass murdering sociopaths have a well known psychological profile, it's not that much of a mystery.

In a podcast I hosted, I would ask people a similar question. Most of the responses were about people that are pretty well-known and written about like John Wooden and Abraham Lincoln. As much as they have been written about wouldn't you still want to meet that person?

Hitler would not be my first choice, but in context it makes sense.

Allie seems cool.

Don't understand why it is so objectionable that she said Hitler would be interesting. The question wasn't "who do you admire?"

i like steph's response in this article

“I was trying to say that you can say ‘it doesn’t matter what size you are as a runner,’ but you have to include all sizes,” Bruce told Sports Illustrated. “That does include skinny people. But sometimes the conversation thinks that being thin is something that just happens to people and it's easy to be thin but that’s not the case.”

“How many people have told me to go eat a cheeseburger or go eat pizza? That’s offensive in my opinion,” she continued. “I don’t want young girls or women to look at me and want to be as lean as I am, I am this lean because I run 120 miles a week and I strength train. Other women have different bodies because of what they do. I think that we should all be able to be accepted but sometimes the messaging, the ‘strong not skinny,’ or whatever it is, is still exclusive. It all needs to be inclusive. Whatever body you have, great, what can you do with that body?”

Seriously? Stephanie comes off as an A-class whiner. Her body is completely on the standard elite running realm...unremarkable.

What are some example symbols? I follow her on IG and nothing pops out, other than that one comment she made at the restaurant.

There was a mention about being refused a third time at the trough at the Golden Corral.

That is a weird quote but how does that tie into Hitler?
