It really is just a twitter thing. The biggest “patsoc” Caleb Maupin is as youve seen not chauvinist at all, very committed to communism and antiimperialism. He has been slandered a lot by Vaush type liberals, who are actual proimperialist socialchauvinists. My guess is some twitter weirdos took the slander seriously and now LARP as “proud patsocs” online. Maupin doesnt even call himself “patsoc”.
Ive never encountered them so i thought your post was an attack on Caleb Maupin and similar people, which i find stupid. My apologies, those accounts do look quite stupid indeed

Yeah, there are some weirdo unhinged meme accounts that are “proud patsocs”. The one I screenshotted here is pretty much that

Idk, I don’t really care for what I’ve seen from Maupin, but I really don’t know enough to criticize him with any actual knowledge.
I really just meant to hate on the account I posted, but it seems to have sparked a much broader discussion.
I hope we can facilitate some good discussions out of it! 🙂
