        As shit as the attempted pun was, no I couldn’t have. It would’ve unalived the joke, if you will.

      It’s a silly play on words (Acronyms? Initialisms? IDK).

      MLM has 2 common meanings and given the initial context we’re led to assume they’re going for Men-Loving-Men flag, but alas they got an Multi-Level Marketing flag.

      That’s basically the joke.

        I’m writing a thesis right now about Maoist insurgent movements. So MLM also means Marxism-Leninism-Maoism. Every time I encounter MLM in the wild, my head spins a bit, trying to suss out which one it is
