        Seeing CIA behind every account with bad takes is probably giving them too much credit. We should be careful to not fall into the trap of projecting our own world view onto others. Oftentimes we assume that someone cannot genuinely hold two contradictory beliefs at the same time because we cannot imagine doing so. In this case there is a clear contradiction between on the one hand believing in communism, which is an ideology of liberation for all, and on the other hand rejecting LGBT+ liberation. For us it is obvious that these two are incongruous, but not all people who grow up in a culture with such deeply embedded prejudices have managed to reckon with and discard those prejudices. Unfortunately it happens more often than we would like to believe that people simultaneously hold both progressive and reactionary views. I’m not saying there aren’t a lot of opportunists out there who are just acting cynically in order to build some kind of following, and very likely also a few intelligence agency plants, but reactionary communists do exist.

            I don’t think so. For one thing he’s neither smart nor subtle enough for that. And his target audience is mainly conservatives. A fed would behave more like Vaush. Hinkle sounds to me like just another grifter looking to make money off of building a social media following.

              Hinkle reeks of fed because he became super high profile super quickly out of nowhere, even having meetings with various officials of anti-imperialist nations. Many other patsuccs (Haz, Midwestern Marx, tha person in the image, etc.) are most likely just dumbasses.

    Bad ideology when person whose aesthetic I don’t like happily reads to kids. Good ideology when person whose aesthetic I do like waves to crowd. I am strongman, hear me roar, pound chest. Me like chest pound aesthetic, make brain feel good. Me tough guy, tougher than those weirdos who use bright colors in things. Me only like sepia tone or grayscale, must look aged and old like socrates. New things bad, old good, but only if old comes from right color scheme and quote vibes. This how product work, color and packing I like taste better, so must be same with ideology, right?

    I don’t know how I got here as satire, exactly, but I am tired…

    I wish these people would listen to Michael Parenti about the lgbt community. His speech, even with the F slur, really resonated. I think all homophobic communists should listen to it.
