On the other end of the spectrum there's Conneaut Lake Park. CLP was blue collar park supported through local volunteers and managed by a board of trustees bringing in a few hundred thousand a year until covid hit. Enter Todd Joseph. Joseph is a successful* business man who claims he's willing to be an investor for turning the park's fortunes around and growing it post-covid. The board agrees and turns over ownership of the land for $1.2 million... aaaaand Joseph immediately sells half the park off for scrap and demolishes it. After much legal back & forth, he is explicitly told not to demolish the park's other Interbellum-era historical structures, including their 85 year old roller coaster and ACE historical landmark, Blue Streak.

*later investigations discover that he's actually a Trumpian figure who mismanages everything he owns into the ground and makes all his profit entirely off corporate welfare.

Instead, Joseph gets a controlled burn permit for burning off "old wood". With which he pulls a Joker-and-the-money-pile from The Dark Knight and sets all the old railings and support beams that need replacement on fire without first removing them from the historical structures he wasn't allowed to demolish directly. It turns out that his entire business plan was to destroy the park and force the local community to give him money to rebuild the park if they ever want to have anything more than a pile of rubble again and skim off the top of that.

Now the real OSHA-thread part of this is that the maintenance staff wasn't informed that this would be happening to the structures they were working on. Robber barons burning down factories for insurance money without informing the workers inside, now in 21st century form!

I can't tell if this is mocking the person on the left or on the right, or whether it's trying to make a genuine point. What a confused meme.

The concept of toxicity in this context has always been dubious, especially since you could probably make the exact same meme in reverse and whichever version you nod along to probably indicates a lot about your personality, or at least whichever internet circles you tend to roll in. The internet's been pendulum-swinging back and forth about what constitutes "self-care" for the last ten years or so, and the person on the left caricatures some very actual attitudes regarding self-care and depression that were in vogue 6 or 7 years ago. The flip side of this one is that there's also a very real current of shittiness that develops in fitness centric communities that creates an environment of appearance-focused toxicity that can push people within it to unhealthy extremes. The guy who would be saying the positive stuff the fit guy is saying probably also would not look like that fit guy. Again, though, much of what the person on the left is saying were not uncommon attitudes among people in more niche communities like Tumblr that have since filtered up into the general population. There are plenty of memes around Instagram and Facebook talking about a vague sort of "self-care" that focuses on unrestricted diets, personal leisure time and other nonspecific activities as pathways to mental health, or at least not making it worse. They virtually never mention physical activity more strenuous than a walk, and at extremes are actually hostile to the idea of exercise as having any bearing, or if anything a negative (in the vernacular, "toxic") effect, on mental health. The meme seems to me to be clearly leaning toward mocking the latter while praising the former, and in typical fashion burying whatever valid point it might have in spite

The joke is that the person who made the meme is toxic, I thought. Like I thought that was the point. Are you supposed to side with the muscle man? If so then this meme is mad at tumblr and sjws in a manner unbecoming.

Did a fat person hurt you?

also I find it funny that I recognize that body builder from the 30 seconds of Always Sunny that he's in, but I guess he's been relatively famous for decades...
