For whatever reason I read that entire (pretty long) "Rise of MAGA Communism" essay linked under the Sameera Khan header and its ultimate conclusion of "as a movement, we must infiltrate and convert MAGA - a true prole movement and viable vanguard that hovers in three-dimensional space outside of traditional chartings of leftist and rightist thought - into a communist accelerationist project" still took me by surprise. I feel like I got the wind knocked out of me.

I was hoping for a really in-depth article of all the main characters - like a reader on weird Twitter characters that would evolve over time so I can thoroughly enjoy remembering Aimee Therese in two years when I hope I have not heard about her for maybe two years. I understand time constraints etc etc but please consider evolving this over time? Like when I am trying to remember a guy from something awful in 2004 this could be the place I go to look it up

I wouldn't bet on that Catturd2 guy. If we're gonna have a top twitter influencer/podcaster at least bring me Catturd1 you know

Unfortunately it appears Lex does have some affiliation with MIT:

So many people i respect speak of him like the 2nd coming of podcast Jesus and I can’t decide if he’s Lennie Small or r/im14andthisisdeep

If they weren't breakout characters before, they will be now.
