So, an ML Leftist?
That position isn't specific to ML tendencies. I personally see more anti-electoralism rhetoric from anarchists, for obvious ideological reasons.

Great feature! One of my concerns when I dipped my toes into ComfyUI was that I struggled to find ways of avoiding spaghetti layouts. Tools like this to neaten and abstract the workflow can do wonders (although I hope it's done in a smart, clear way that doesn't confuse newcomers by hiding the important parts from them)
At least one US fash has already, Chadwick Seagraves. The rest might need a little encouragement.
I've conquered the tabs demon (cleared on exit, anything actually important goes in a proper to-do app) and the downloads folder demon (...mostly). But will I ever conquer the Inbox imp?
It's a common and well-understood word, you're completely correct, and really any word is a valid word, although it's pretty clear the teacher was trying to teach formal English habits (which unfortunately can be useful to know) and it ain't that.
It's a vibe, not an actual analysis of political economy.
People don't magically change their worldview because they have more money, but a person's economic relationship (e.g. owning a business, or being an employee) will guide their class interests - someone like Rowling who primarily makes money from ownership rather than work will materially benefit from conservative economic interests. And since capitalism rewards profit over social contribution, those of the business owners who don't care about other people enough to sacrifice profitability are (generally) more able to build wealth, so there are more right-wing types in mega-wealthy circles, not simply because they have wealth (this also includes those feigning left-wing ideals, like rainbow capitalism and philanthrocapitalism, to exploit real social movements for reputation and profit).
This Wikipedia page gives a quick rundown of how a person's politics and their role in the economy intertwine, although it's probably more useful to learn the concept through pamphlets or books which provide historical evidence, examples and related concepts. My recommendation - Not pointlessly academic or dated, relatively general, has nice and neat chapters for specific questions.
The key word in that comment was "symbols". The Nazi SS aren't esoteric knowledge.

There's no reward for allowing them a platform. They are free to say what they want somewhere else. You can literally do nothing and they will pretend to be the victim, plenty try to suggest the mere existence of trans people victimizes them.
Now, I'm not saying that it's useful to be tactless, that anything goes. Obviously one should be aware of how some techniques are better than others, and how some could fuel their movement. But there's no moral or ethical reason to assume their ability to speak should be inviolable, in fact that's just tolerating harm. Ask the UK how they dissolved the British Union of Fascists: Mosley stopped appearing in public after dozens in Brighton threw bricks at his rally.
There's an infamous article on Foreign Policy about how /leftypol/ managed to do that with 8chan's infamous /pol/ board, and I recall some people saying it got them out of GamerGate (a right-wing recruitment pipeline). In fact, I remember hearing there's some lineage of that board from 4chan's /lit/erature board. So there's certainly truth that users can often be directed away from incel and alt-right spheres into something more social and constructive.
At the end of the day, 4chan, if taken as a whole rather than just the political boards, is largely a popular hub for alienated nerds (even the /fit/ness board). Not sure how much that's stayed true over the past 10 years, but screencaps like this show it's still a complicated place despite the edgy surface.
I think that if the US government is overhauled, guaranteed UBI would be key to allowing for effective strikes.
In the meantime, we use voluntary strike funds for a similar effect.
