    no not really. i don’t think the example you give is ironic at all. to me it’s more like someone disparaging communists as “woke pro abortion gay trans stalinists” and youre like hell ya, i am a woke pro abortion gay trans stalinist. well, like, i may not be trans or gay but i would still be like, that’s not bad! so what! then i might call myself tjat semi ironicallu since its intended as a perjorative but i dont mean it that way i mean it like im awesome

        the same way you might jokingly reclaim the term “evil gay satanist stalinist” i’m reclaiming the idea of being an “islamist bolshevik” :3 does that make sense?

            no. but given the way the religion is demonized currently in the west, somewhat unfairly since their critiques lie with the “hamas terrorists” (to a lesser extent they used the pretense of gender and feminism as justification but that’s fallen away nowadays) and political radicals in islam, when people mock islam from that pov, i feel more inclined to stand in defense of those viewpoints of “radical islamists”, the radicals who are more like iranians making correct geopolitical analysis and saying that they should rally under allah to demolish the evils of zionism and the USA.

            i believe also in demolishing zionism n the usa not because of religion, but since ppl belittle those that are religious that happen to have the correct take, i’m like fuck it sure i’m a radical jihadist that hates the usa, even though the reasons for my stance are not actually religious
