Not really? They don’t use any of the rhetoric of Lenin, or adopt any of his symbolism, at least not on the scale that the alt-right adopts the language of fascism (for example). I mean, every now and then you’ll find some idiot flying a soviet flag, but it’s not even close to a wide-spread thing, and actual…

Not sure about Democratic Socialist thing, but I think part of why the left is so defensive/aggressive is hinted at in your own characterization of them being “left of Lenin” (even if meant as just a figure of speech).

Can we talk about how dumb “Space Force” sounds?

People who like her spend time shit-talking Democrats who have been losing ground to Republicans, yes.

Not shy about saying that I’ve looked to this trend as a possible way to make some money on the side... but man, the extremism of a lot of the most popular games is off-putting. It makes you feel like there’s an expectation that you have to include that content in order to make money, when all I really want to do is…
