This is a good take and I should have said that I do this in spaces that are quite hostile to radical politics, in particular the ones that spring up around "thought leader" content creators who speak out against the radical left at least as often as they do the far right while funnelling people into the democratic party and shit.

I don't do it in progressive community spaces, I leave them be or very occasionally I will occasionally chip in with something that contributes to the discourse while shifting it leftwards but not in an obnoxios "Read theory, you libs!!" way.

It's only the spaces that are culty and terminally lib which are led by progressive grifters posing as leftists that I do wrecker shit like I described above because it's impossible to actually do genuine work in those contexts (you get banned or shouted down immediately) so the only way I have come up with working within that context is by using an accelerationist approach and putting too fine a point on the sort of discourse that would typically be deployed against people who stray too far from the internal orthodoxy. I'm not gonna name names but I'm sure you know the pseudo-radical content creators who immediately fall in line with that vote blue no matter who shit when the election rolls around but who are otherwise mostly focused on punching left (against anarchists and communists alike) while grifting their audience for donations and patreon memberships. The ones who function as smaller spinoff grifts which mirror those larger DNC astroturfed "movements" and "activist groups" that are just fronts to wring people for donations, except with content creators they use the same sort of model to create a personalized brand out of themselves in the process.
