The whole unironic "Swiftie" thing among communists is proof that we aren't immune to hero-worship. She was always just mildly progressive lib who makes pretty good music. Just because you cry to her music doesn't mean her opinions are any more correct.

I'd love to see the alt-history Hexbear if our demographics had more Kanye fans.

I think we have a decent amount of Kanye fans its just that... you know... everything this past few years. What I would like to see is how would people talk about him if his music quality hadnt dropped some albums ago.

Don't think it's a thing among regular communists. I've seen so many even vaguely leftist/liberal people on tiktok call her performative, an industry plant, the epitome of white feminism, silent on Palestine, etc.

We literally have a community based on memes of her being communist.

Even if it is "ironic," on the internet anything done ironically is half-serious.

By "regular communists" I meant people who don't use this site, I always saw Marxist-Swiftism as a Hexbear quirk
