Literally any mention of some supposed 'western civilization' or 'western culture'. Like just say the 14 words already, cause we all know that's what you believe in. Fucking coward

they use seasons like they're verbs. ie: we summered in switzerland or we wintered in mexico.

they like to imply that a majority hold their views: eg: "we're they're the silent majority" or identifying freedom fighters as "terrorists".

expensive hobbies are also a dead give away. eg hunting, 3d printing, photography, etc.

Most of these things are only tangentially related if at all lmao.

except the middle line you're just describing wealthy people, who while they are class enemies, aren't just like, inherently, currently fascists. The only one I'd say is fairly solid is calling people terrorists but you do kinda get that from libs all the time, even unscratched ones

Except for the middle, that's all stuff a normal rich liberal would do.

And those aren't even great examples of expensive hobbies, nowadays it's possible to find decent 3d printers for less than $100 if there's a sale (my 3d printer + phone + desktop + laptop are all only $20 above a new iPhone 16 from Apple), and rural hicks with relatively little income will hunt too.
