I hate to overused the term "psy-op", but how does such a niche and patently contradictory ideology get so much discussion? Is there anyone who actually believes in this bullshit?

It's the dunk tank.
This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.
Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.
Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.
Rule 3: No sectarianism.
Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome
Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)
Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.
Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.
Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to [email protected]
Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again

I read an article here before all this patsoc stuff took off about "the new populist right" and it briefly mentioned Infra and maybe one of the Red Scare ladies? It was ages ago and I don't recall the details but it basically focused on a group of young influencers at some GOP event with a plan to build a NazBol movement. I've been thinking about it a lot lately and I wish I could remember who shared it.
Oh wow, if you find it please remind me.
It was several months back so don't get your hopes up, but I'll see if I can find it in my history!
Don't worry I'm used to being disappointed :alex-aware:
It's no secret that when Infrared started, their comment sections were full of nazbols -- nazbols were their first core audience.
They're Strasserists and attract the type of person that would be attracted by Strasserism. It's sort of circular reasoning, but I think it takes a very specific kind of mindset to be attracted to that in the first place.
The people that believe this, if they actually do (it's looking more and more like an op, Haz might probably be an informant lol), haven't done any research past what infrared tells them. They can't even use the jargon properly lol.
Thing is they also act like this on purpose, this is their M.O. Just put out tweet after tweet to drown you out, it doesn't matter what they say or how they look saying it. They literally have no shame; I'm not saying this as the expression but as a literal sentence lol.
They make themselves look bigger than they really are. Their telegram channel has barely 920 members, but interacting with them you'd think they're thousands in the whole country.
jucheguevera is a great handle. That shit was just sitting there I can't believe I never saw it
:gulag:
Wtf is infrared? Fake red, crypto nazi?
A collective of content creators, led by Haz who's also their most known figure. He's known for having terrible takes about most things and generally being a joke (for example he confidently said women have "two holes below the waist" on stream, or saying only industry workers are proletariat and service workers don't count).
Recently they've been pushing "MAGA Communism" which... didn't go over well at all over on truth social (Trump's twitter). I think they're trying to distance themselves from the shitshow that was the CPI (the Maupin think tank) after the abuse allegations came out against Maupin and they dissolved the CPI.
Haz actually had an account here at one point. The guy tried to worm his way into this community early on, a couple years ago. He got banned relatively quickly. :che-smile: These guys operate exactly like the fucking feds. They will try to embed themselves in any organization they can and attempt to steer them for their own ends.
Lmao, that's all they can do. They were also on lemmygrad for a while until we said enough and banned them all at once.
They have no party. They have no popular base. They do not do anything materially. But they yell and yell about being the future of communism while being unable to use any of the vocabulary.
Not one word in good faith out of them.
Ah, thank you. Is Haz the himbo that regularly gets posted around here?
Hasan is not Haz.
Okay, got it. :head-asplode:
wouldn't matter if they succeeded anyway because the proletariat is never going to read a site called prolewiki
:rat-salute:
Hey mods just checked the log, FYI that is not the real jucheguevara lol. I've worked with him for a year and he took the removal well, it's pretty funny seeing infras infighting though.
