      omg i have so many of these

      • "leftist" who loves Aaron Sorkin
      • "socialist" who loves Jacobin and Brianna Joy Gray
      • "socialist" who turned out to be a private jet mechanic for the 1% (happily and voluntarily)
      • "communist" who thinks communism is living in a kibbutz (he was Israeli)
      • "basically an anarchist" who thinks the only thing wrong with RBG and Feinstein is that they ruined their legacies by staying on too long

      etc

        While the first four are uniquely terrible in their own right, I absolutely love the mental image of being in a coffee shop and someone saying they're "basically an anarchist." The people around y'all are terrified because big spooky scary leftist and then you have the crashing disappointment of hearing every word after it.

        "Basically an anarchist" is just a hilarious phrase in its own right thanks for the laugh

    I once had someone with ACAB in their bio call me racist for not sharing their deep respect of Kamala Harris. I don't think they know what ACAB means.

    Claims to be leftist? Supports Biden and the Dems? Describes themselves as leaning Anarchist or Trotskyist? It's NATO leftist time 😎
