Like, do we say it ironically? There isn't a Jacobin article about it so I don't know what I am supposed to think. I fucked up my google preferences so when I look up the term it just give me video game levels.

      No, is that the gimmick? I thought it was an attempt create a general counter narrative to the country being named after whatever Italian count it got named after.

        the gimmick

        It's a term from Northeastern (Iroquoian/Lenape/Algonquian) religious cosmology. Ignoring its cultural context and turning it into an ironic meme seems more than a little appropriative.
