this is an example of... something. maybe we have a term for it?
its like ultra-cope. the right wins a victory and some twisted fucks come round to torture the circumstances and terms into something resembling a "leftist" success.
other examples are cheering "free speech" being protected for fascists 'because that gives us voices too'. its denying solidarity to unions affiliated with a different party. quite possibly the most harmful tendency to cultivate in a left space, only the right won on roe and there is no amount of dressed up feminist lingo that can change that
also the author is just, not a leftist in any way lol
its like this close but i'm not cynical enough to think ultras are purposely trying to? i think of recuperation as knowing co-opting from capital---and i feel like at least some leftist wackjobs are organic

Fair enough, it does give pause for thought
