The racist framing comes from a racist liberal publication, so we know when we read it that it is untrue. Therefore, the group of people being accused of being a “gang” look cool to us.
To clarify, I think the positive spin here is for us to acknowledge that the article’s framing is racist, but that WE can read it without perceiving being accused of being in a “gang” as an automatically negative thing.
I’m not sure if I’m expressing this very well, sorry. I think it’s like how you see people who commit justified acts of resistance often being called “terrorists” by the media, so among leftists “terrorism” no longer has an automatic negative connotation because we associate it with resistance. However, we understand that the intent from the media in using this term is still to convey the negative connotation.

lmao, glad Hexbear and ML are the devil to you but the racist framing of the bloody Telegraph can be taken at face value.
Maybe I’m too autistic or not white enough to understand this but I don’t see how this racist framing makes them “look based”.
They are hunting for Trump supporters, that’s what is based.

If you say so. Personally I’m not a fan of trying to spin a positive on literal racism.
