Conservatives have an equivalent lore.

It's called Handmaid's Tale.

As do libertarians.

It's called Mad Max.

All we're talking about is reveling in the future our respective philosophies want to see.

Back on reddit I once mentioned that Star Trek was a Marxist post scarcity society in a center conservative sub. It wasn't my point, I just mentioned it like mentioning the sky is blue. I got down-voted to oblivion and tens of replies 'correcting' me.

(Re)Appropriation is practically a part of the job description for these chucklefucks. Things mean what they want them to. And while that's part of how one enjoys art, in this context its routinely used to hurt people and contrary to the author's (sometimes clearly documented) intent.

Example: Using Rage Against the Machine at a conservative political rally.

Message: It's our rage and your machine now.
