      What says turbolib about that look? Honestly to me, the Bernie beanie is the only incongrous detail.

        Anarchists reject the state and reformism entirely, while Bernie and the DSA are just capitalist reformists

        She’s wearing what I call a “progressive sanitized aesthetic”… visually edgy but with no more actual substance than your average liberal

        People who have actually internalized radical beliefs usually just look like regular people because they know they have to fly under the radar

          Right after I commented, I kind of reconsidered the DSA shirt. I get what you’re saying, but I guess I’m gonna be a little more “charitable”. I know plenty of people (including myself!) who aren’t platonic ideals of their political affinities… but neither are they best described as liberals (much less turbolibs).
