    Do you think these accounts are hired by Starbucks to undermine unionization support?

      Possibly. They have both a law firm and PR firm for union busting. The PR firm specifically targets the term "union busting" in online discourse

      There are other patsoc or patsoc adjacent nerds on Twitter that don't get anything out of socialist readings except vibes and aesthetics. It's no surprise they run parallel to tradcaths and bronze age pervert types. Honestly learning about some of this stuff about the past couple months has been a nightmare. The left is in an incoherent state

        Honestly they might be the exact same people as tradcaths and fash femboys and superstraights etc. It's a common trolling tactic to make sockpuppets to poison the well with outlandish, impossible constellations of :brainworms: and :galaxy-brain: takes. That then attracts real, very confused human beings that think the movement is organic and meaningful and parrot the obvious bait because it makes them feel good when they get 2000 angry retweets in an hour.

        It's super easy and cheap to do, absolutely derails the conversation, and I don't know why we shouldn't do the same in reactionary spaces. (Other than risking :brainworms: and becoming weird post-leftist reactionaries)

        But honestly beware of anyone claiming to be anything, that's a suckers game on the internet.

      I think they just like to think of themselves as leftists but have internalized some propaganda (maybe their material interests align with that propaganda?) and will defend their weird opinions to the death due to all the fucked up things algorithms do to the brain (contrarianism is good for engagement!)

        I would like to destroy all algorithms. I'm sure there's no legitimate purpose for them and we should class them as Tier 1 Cognito-Weapons alongside advertisements and PR.

      Based on the sheer size of the kitchen, I'm guessing it's a rich kid that thinks he's playing 18 dimensional chess and helping daddy do some union busting.

        But maybe they hired some PR firm type company to do this shit for them.

        Or maybe it’s just a regular old moron out there doing it in public for all to see.
