    Is lovebombing fake love to manipulate people? From context here it sounded like showing extra support for comrades and marginalised people. May have used that incorrectly.

      Yeah, the term lovebombing is used to describe a manipulation technique used mostly by narcissists and cults to draw vulnerable people in.

      They're trying to imply us showing extra support for comrades and marginalised people isn't real and is just cynical manipulation, because we couldn't possibly just love our comrades heart-sickle
