    the “KHive” thing was always a weird self-tell to me (alluding, I assume, to the insect-like hivemind attitude of her followers, where all individual thinking is quelled and all ends uncritically serve their Queen), but it occurred to me only yesterday — did they literally just switch it to KHive because it was originally BHive (like Beehive) for Biden? But then Biden got palace coup’d after the Democrats’ billionaire neo-colonial death-merchant financiers pulled their funding over his brain dripping from his ears and nose on live TV, so they needed to change it but just switched the first letter because the didn’t have the imagination to come up with a new name?

        I don’t understand why people would want to give themselves a name that alludes to being part of to a borg-like hivemind of insects that live solely to serve their ‘royalbred’ betters; but then again I’ve never been one to identify with ‘fandoms’ in general. And a lot of Europeans did it until gui and some people still do it :god-save-the-queen: anglo-burn so what do I know.

        These are also the same people who get mad about “collectivism” when you talk about marx hammer-sickle

        “Bey-hive” only cropped up as a fan demonym in response to Nicki Minaj’s “Barbz”; who are still the most unhinged mfs on the internet. Even I’ve got nothing when I’m up against a Barb.
