I also just remembered of "contradiction".

I know this doesn't answer your question, but if you are looking to meet comrades, find your local communist party. If one doesn't exist, there may be a pre-branch starting, and you should get in contact with a party like PSL to find out if there is one near you or even help start one. I contacted PSL and luckily found a pre-branch near me, and now I am helping with building it to become an official branch. I have met some pretty cool people this way. We come in all shapes and colors, and we each have our own mannerisms and come from different stages in our journey towards ML.

If you are not from the US, I hope the same advice still applies.

In Brazil I recognized one by listening to a rap song by Racionais MC's about Marighella and he complimented me lol

The DemSocs are the dominant party in my region so most of the people I come across could be potential comrades.

I live in a place that is pretty left and almost everyone I hang out with is queer. Marxist/leftist is basically the expectation when I meet a lesbian in my area. There are libs but their vibes stand out so much to me that its a pretty avoidable situation.

I can, pretty accurately, guess political affiliations without talking about politics. Vibes, culture, speech patterns, it makes things obvious most of the time.
