    Fair enough you just see a lot of these kinds of spicy libs there. Definitely don’t want to turn anyone away but there’s a looooot of western leftists who are vehemently commited to maintaining their anti-communist brain worms while playing in the aesthetic of something more radical.

    I really don’t know what you’d call that specifically bc even just calling them libs kinda goes back to gatekeepjng the pipeline a bit.

      You are right. Maybe "pro-US-imperialism <<<leftists>>>", but that's too long which makes it fit as a true leftist meme. Think about it.

        It gels with bmf’s style too lol.

        Tho I do think we need, and will hopefully develop, a snappy nonsense name for them like gusano. Something that doesn’t necessarily seek to describe them politically, we’re just all like “oh yea. those guys. Pff. Cringe.”
