It seems to attract disillusioned liberals who nominally claim to oppose class society but for whatever reason want western supremacy to somehow endure in the post-class society, it's incoherent but it seems to be the emotional fuel that sustains alot of their hostile left bashing politics
Also despite many ultras making a talismanic fetish out of theory, most of them seem to have never actually read it, over the years I grew more suspicious of these so-called loremasters and came up with three simple questions on theory to determine whether an ultra has read Marx, and I'm not kidding after asking maybe a dozen or more online ultras over the years NONE of them have answered all the questions correctly, most couldn't even answer ONE right
In the end I realized Matt Christman was 100% right, these aren't political movements they're online posting styles centered on a person's idiosyncratic demographic priors and mediated thru online consumption
