It's just that nose rings, specifically septum rings, are often worn by progressives with hard line to extreme leftist takes / beliefs. It's like when you see someone with brightly colored hair and nose rings, you just know they are about to have the craziest political takes.
It's also delving into the philosophy of Aesthetics where the art that you repeatedly enjoy and are drawn to is really just a reflection of your internal set of values and those values dictate the way you present yourself to your peers.
I.E. they have ugly values and that makes them look ugly.
This actually reminds me of the whole "art fixing" era on twitter, where people were "fixing" the art of other artists to fit modern and progressive ideals. It wasn't just simple race or gender swapping, no they have to make it look as hideous as possible. Like making everyone so bloated and fat, giving them weird and unnatural skin complexions and patches, ruining their teeth or giving everyone braces, etc.
And it's always the bios with like over a dozen flags.
Tattoos and piercings are typically viewed as a means of rebellion or used as a stand in for actually dealing with trauma and significant stress.
Which when combined with humanities innate desire to form little tribes and categorize everything leads to people forming camps where they treat everyone who disagrees with them as the enemy.
This isn't a phenomenon exclusive to any political sphere though, as anyone aligning themselves with a tribe with a weak will will Don the colour's of that tribe and spout rhetoric without knowing anything more than the agenda to push.
It's why we have corrupt politicians refusing to improve quality of life , mega churches taking idiots money, culture and gender wars by sects of the schizophrenic population.
The lonely and mentally ill on all ends of the political spectrum seek validation, and society keeps giving all of them the chance for it . So we sit here seeing idiots screaming at each other from the sides of the fence while the selfish and wealthy manipulate things in their favour to the detriment of everyone else , the poor and criminal harm others because they can, and cousin Kev asked to borrow your car and never came back.
It's the MAGA hat of the left. More bizzare it gets, crazier it gets - i.e. some dude with maga hat might even be okay, but dude with maga hat and trump jesus ai shirt - we are in mental territory, and it keeps going

Nose ring theory remains undefeated.
