Best guess? They’re either truly dedicated satirists, gone off the metamodernist deep end into deep post-irony, or they’ve genuinely decided that modernist Grand Narratives weren’t really all that bad (let’s just ignore all the atrocities they brought about). After all, far-left modernist narratives aren’t at all like those other, far-right modernist narratives! They’re different, just like everybody else who is selling a utopia (that’s only practically attainable through an authoritarian regime).
Why did you just say that?

‘Horseshoe theory’ is nonsense – the far right and far left have little in common
Yes. I mean, the only thing they have in common is they are part of the human political spectrum…
It truly boggles my mind that people don’t understand enough about politics and propaganda to realize this.
We’re not indoctrinated with this theory for no reason. Anti-communist propaganda serves bourgeois interests.
They only have little in common if you’re unimaginative.
Or one of them.
“Unscratched” liberals have much more in common with fascists than socialists.
One day you might look back on this and laugh at all the CIA propaganda you believed was true.
Oooohhh, spooky! 👻
If you paid a visit to the CIA website and read through all of the FOIA stuff they admit to you might not be so flippant.
I mean, you might be, I don’t know who pays you…
You do see my username, right? I ain’t afraid of no ghost!
It’s… not the ghosts that you should worry about.
