Thank you for the history. That was before my time. Or maybe I just missed that.
But this is consistent with my observations. It's not really politics that is the target of the ban, it's a certain type of politics.
By your own reporting, they were connected to the LW site. That's where they came from, until they were booted off as untouchables. It's part of their own history that LW was the incubator for their site. And given that they were booted from LW for their views, sticking a thumb in the eye of LW is entirely predictable. The name is triply appropriate, given the politics. It would have been too obvious and too good a name to pass up. I would have used it.
FWIW, I agree despite being very unfavourably disposed towards their political views.
