We need to coin a phrase to describe when leftists accidentally create based content because of their own disconnect from normal morality/reality.
A few good examples of this phenomenon:
commie retard Alan Moore attempting to caricature far-right ideologies in the form of Rorschach in Watchmen
lefty retard Amy Poehler attempting to caricature anti-government libertarianism in the form of Ron Swanson in Parks and Rec
Insane weirdo Alec Baldwin attempting to caricature capitalism run amok in the form of Jack Donaghy in 30 Rock
Recent depictions of Red Skull as an anti-immigration alt-right public figure in comics
In all of these stories, the "evil right wing idiot/monster" ends up being the coolest, most rational, most reasonable character. Lefty creators tried to make them ridiculous or immoral, but left-wing morality and ideology are so inverted and antithetical to reality that all of their depictions of "bad guys" end up unintentionally based.
I'm still trying to figure out how Rorschach was "written," as I'd only ever seen the movie, only to totally go WTF hearing about those "white supremacist Rorschachs" in that godawful series.
But Red Skull has quite possibly been the biggest example. Because those writers used EXTREMELY VALID "reasoning" in his "evil speeches." It was literally at the point of "if anything he has said in this speech is supposed to be considered evil, then I'm fucking evil, Hail Hydra."
"Work out, physically improve yourself!" - evil speech
It was hilarious when they tried to smear Jordan B. Peterson by linking him to Redskull.
In the graphic novel, he was a psychopathic killer who was a massive conspiracy theorist who turned out to be right about most things (though obviously not in others).
He also basically said he wouldn't save leftist shitholes from being leftist shitholes, and that they deserved the consequences of their actions.
So...yeah.
But also he was one of the best characters because he had convictions, and stuck to them, even to the point of dying for it.
Worth noting, the graphic novel also had a giant eye ball tentacle monster as the thing Ozymandias did, not a bomb.
13 minutes video tha Archcast talk about this. good stuff

This really is the #1 example. Because if you take 100 people and ask them who the good guy in Watchmen is, I guarantee the majority of them say Rorschach.
Moore wrote something beloved by millions, but sent the complete opposite message that he intended.
Just like Animal Farm. Orwell was a commie. A full blown socialist who fought for the bad guys in the Spanish civil war. What he thought he was doing was writing a critique of Stalinism and specifically only Stalinism. It was purely by accident that Animal Farm has arguments against leftist ideology as a whole.
Leftism has always been marked by both hypocrisy and a profound lack of self awareness.
Orwell would be hated by the modern left for his disdain towards authoritarian governments though. He was complex, whereas modern socialists are simpletons.
No, it's wasn't "purely by accident".
They do it every time they go all "not real socialism"
And Moore can never figure out why.
It's fucking hilarious.
Maybe we should call it "accurate strawman".
Not necessarily accurate, but ideal.
The Platonic Strawman.
A Strawman is what they were hoping for, a Steelman is purposefully making the other argument unbreakable. So a Needleman or a Rodman would be Strawman that, upon closer inspection, is a Steelman, wouldn't it?
Another recent one:
I would hardly call Watch Dogs Legion "based" with its pro-commie allegory, but the beginning of the game displays absolutely no self-awareness in the extent to which the villains are exactly like them. The news media even covers up the truth by labeling it a conspiracy theory.
