Well, as usual, vagueness is a great shield and a good platform to radicalise people.

Obviously, a collective of people will place the marker for "exaggerated leftist views" on different places. So you will see all kind of markers.

But as usual, the propaganda material is selected, so the misogynist will look for misandrists (or a supercut that create the impression of misandry) with the "social justice warrior" optics (obviously, we are talking about the distorted perception of sjw present in misogynistic circles)

Obviously the views of people (or the distorted version created by a supercut) tend to be quite outrageous, as it should be for "good" propaganda. Then calling these views leftist, makes the propaganda work. As now, unaware people will confirm that the views are leftist, as they assume that is what it is about. when in reality, the seemingly misandrist view is obviously not leftist, as misandry is sexism.
