I follow a mod for HOI4 that's set in a 1960s America which slides into civil war & lurk on their server. The devteam is unabashedly far-left, even after they got rid of the original team lead (who incidentally was the founder of CHAZ) for being too openly crazy to the point of making the rest of them look bad, and flaunt the thought of burning down suburbia making their feminine penises hard - to the point that a focus icon showing exactly that was a emote on said Discord server for a while.
For the longest time I didn't quite get why they hated suburbs so much (I'm not American and don't specialize in post-1960 social developments in the States), and chalked it up to being some old leftist meme or an injoke among the devs, but this has given me the answer. Jives well with their expressed attitudes about white people in general, even if they have toned the mood (and especially the bizarre fetishisation of non-whites, particularly urban blacks) down significantly since they gave the old lead dev the boot. Like other ethno-masochists (damn I have to use that word a lot more) they just can't stand the thought of those evil settlers getting to lead happy, non-totally-destroyed and even somewhat fulfilling lives anywhere.

Also explains much of the hate for rural people and flyover states.
Lots of white people, many of whom won't submit to the decrees and proscriptions imparted by their coastal betters.
