This is actually my biggest criticism of these people. Ideological disagreements aside, it’s all just so performative, it’s more entertainment than anything else. They are not trying to do real politics or real organizing, they are trying to be content creators or social media influencers with a revolutionary aesthetic. Hence their pretentious LARP-y language.
I’m sure there are a few exceptions to this of course but by and large this is the impression i get.
