The saddest thing about our modern times is seeing how rejecting the status quo has been incorporated into politics. Once upon a time, one would reject politics and factionalism together with the cutesy corporate agenda you're ranting against.

Now you get politicised posers like you blaming everything on "Internet socialists" and "communists".

Party politics is not punk. Stop pretending it is.

Are you sure you linked to the right thing?

> Internet socialists / communists / transhumanists seem to infuse their content with a “chibi” vibe, filled with cuteness and hearts. Disagree with them politically, though, and watch out. The sunshine and roses suddenly become bloody slavering fangs.

I’ve never been more sure.

Flagged to death. Sigh…

Kinda proves your point.

Probably because it appears they are fishing for a political fight, and they are referencing their own vaguely related post from four days ago as if someone else wrote it ten years ago.

How is a comment talking about whimsical content "only vaguely related"?

The comment did not address any points in the article. It only mentions their view that a certain group uses this type of name. That's the "vague" part.

Right? Also, where are the "bloody slavering fangs"? It's just a blog post about whimsical naming. Some people will agree, some will disagree. Hardly a touchstone of "internet communists" or "transhumanists". And a bizarre perspective, considering who is behind recent events in the USA and Brazil.
