Generally speaking (and impersonally) it usually comes down to the intersection of capitalism and war. Pure unadulterated military industrial complex is a hallmark of American-style liberalism. So if a person identifies with the military industrial complex that will usually be your prime indicator. It isn't perfect but it's fairly reliable with a few exceptions.

That makes perfect sense. Where did they identify with the military industrial complex?

Sorry if I'm coming off dumb. It seems like y'all are reading between the lines/catching some kind of dog whistle, or I just missed something super obvious

I am trying to be diplomatic so I was speaking in general and not about anyone specifically.

Now if you check any given person's post history you can usually get a clearer picture.

(There's just known personalities and prejudices at work here rather than random strangers inferring things on this thread alone.)
