It even gets historicized according to that old trick. Luddite is now used to mean reactionary against new technology, but the original Luddites were just against how the bosses were using new machines to disenfranchise and impoverish them.

Every day I wish the left were as cool as the right thinks we are.

Youtube's algorithm is really eager to guide people into the alt-right pipeline. You basically have to immediately block any channel that seems even a little bit sus to keep that shit out.

"Tankies" is used to mean several different things, from the horrible pro-Putin stuff over on lemmygrad to anything left of liberal. I'm reminded of how the right wing of the UK labour party called their sabotage of Corbyn "Trot hunting"
