yeah, the parenthetical is a signal to their petit bourgeosie and labor aristocrat readers to map radicals' use of houseless onto homeless and ignore any cognitive dissonance they might have if they had to actually consider what the deliberate use of houseless means

to your point, it's the cooption of liberatory discourse in action though. I just don't think that can be collapsed into some stupidpol sarcastic clap comment
