They also use a lot of 70s "jive" lingo, and most of their members are presented as being crusty ass hippies who briefly worked up the guts to do some radical action.
To me it's pretty clear the film is heavily inspired by the urban guerilla groups of the 60-70s, in aesthetics if nothing else. DiCaprio's daughter is presented as something of a bridge between that generation and the modern one, less performative, but also less experienced.
I liked the film a lot but I think I need to give it another 2-3 watches before I can have a concrete take on it. But I do think at it's core it's both a celebration and condemnation of the US counter-culture movement.
It's a loose adaptation of Pynchon's Vineland which is "about" the
and the feds that infiltrated them, and how it fell apart by the 80s.
