What kind of electoralism is it, proletarian or bourgeois, idealist or materialist? Do they declare solidarity with the occupied third world, or do they sympathize with the naval gazing narcissism of the first world labor aristocracy?

The fact that Bad Faith believes "self driving cars are the future" and "we can go full clean energy without fossil fuels" tells us they're just merely woke liberals who don't know about the effects of resource extraction. How can you be a Marxist with less of an understanding of basic physics than papa Karl? It's impossible to be a materialist if you're as delusional as the Elon Musk death cult redditors

    Nobody knows who her boyfriend is because she’s not public about it. it seems like a weird thing to make up for needless internet points in a small site but do you

          I have an explicit carve-out for my annoyingly affected twee "nice to everyone and mails jam" personality that applies to people who without any self-awareness try to moralize what at a base level are trivial aesthetic considerations.

            Well you did it. You were needlessly mean to make a point. Congrats. I used to think you were a really cool user here....

                  Let me see if I cant try this again with the annoying affectation back on.

                  I do genuinely think we should be a lot more charitable to people working to further the goals of leftist politics, even if we strongly disagree with their methods and takes, because in the end we're all fallible and could end up being wrong. So when I see perceive that charity is not being extended, either in a mean-spirited or gossipy sort of way (which is how I read your), it does raise my hackles.

                  I have unironically thought about it as a "no first use" type policy before, but then again I'm not sure about the wisdom of analogizing nuclear strategy to interpersonal conversations.
