I noticed people started to use the idea of “no ethical consumption under capitalism” to just be completely irresponsible and just stop trying at all. I don’t think the point of that is to give up completely lol

"speak truth to power"

"based"

"let him cook"

What’s the actual origin of based anyways? Last I checked it came from a musician popular on 4chan. Probably doesn’t count as leftist if so.

I thought it was from the English translation of al kaida

Fucking hell that “damn son where’d you find this” brought back so memories to shitty DJ’s that never made it outside the local scene.

How is that leftist in any way though?

well he's a pretty chill Black guy who grew up in the ghetto, so it's 10,000% more leftist than 4chan at least

"For the 2016 U.S. presidential election, he endorsed Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders, citing his civil rights record."

From his Wiki. He also worked with a vegan company for his app idea and has noted that while not a vegan, he's ashamed of eating meat and working towards becoming one by cutting animal products over time.

He has no other endorsements of any other politicians except Bernie in 2016. I would say pretty based.

Does that make the meme so? I don’t know, but claiming something is left ought to have at least something behind it. I’m not going to dig deep into his life to figure out if he is a comrade or not, I didn’t make the claim.

His music is certainly enjoyable though if nothing else, and he predicted multiple trends so he is clearly ahead of the curve.

he endorsed Bernie Sanders and is ashamed of eating meat

yeah, it came to us from lil b by way of anime nazis

this one I don't mind cause it's said about something someone else said. so its meaning is tied to how it's used.
