    Everyone gather round and take a close look at this specimen. Here is something very peculiar I’ve seen with the loudest ML users. They usually have a well rehearsed auth-left script with plausible talking points, but when it gets off script they show specific capitalist-coded rhetoric.

    In real life, I’ve never met anyone on the left/far left who would use unemployment (especially under a capitalist-fascist hegemony) as a pejorative. The casting of unemployment as a personal failing and character flaw is a deeply capitalist narrative. The USSR, which they profess to support, widely publicized employment as a fundamental human right. It was in their Constitution!

    So we have to consider: is this user dumb enough to think that furthering pro-capitalist fiction is praxis? Or are they not leftist at all, perhaps a false-flag agitant?
