It's perfectly consistent, because TRA idpol is not "Leftist" in any way. It's a form of hyper-individualist liberalism, which American political discourse has distorted to be "left-wing", when it is nothing but shining glittery lipstick on the pig of neoliberal capitalism.

Thus, they were right-wingers/MRAs/Indels/etc. before, and importantly, they remain so in the vast majority of their beliefs. Except they now claim to be "left-wing" because "LGBTQWTF+ is left-wing". Most of them have not read any leftist theory and, at best, know leftistm from memes made by other such terminally-online liberals-claiming-to-be-leftists, and specifically they see this "post-revolution communism" as a "safe space" for them to do what they want without any realization that this is not what a post-capitalist/socialist society would be (hint: you don't get to be a lowlife "social media influencer" or sit in your parents basement playing fortnight after the revolution comrade, get ready to work).
