Abstract The hashtag #secondcivilwarletters emerged after conservative media personality Alex Jones tweeted that Democratic Party supporters were planning a Second Civil War. The resultant tweets mimicked the style of American Civil War soldiers’ letters home, delivering often scathing commentary and critique of contemporary U.S politics, in particular in opposition to President Trump. While this was often accomplished through direct reference to socio-political events, the tweets also utilised food references as a means of indexing particular social identities and ideological positions and related political alignment. The emergent indexicalities demonstrate four key food-related indexical fields: Nutrition, Hipster, Basic, and MAGA. The analysis shows how these indexicalities demonstrate aspects of contemporary classism in the US alongside the partisanship underpinning the #secondcivilwarletters community.

食物、阶级和意识形态政治派别：#secondcivilwarletters 推文中的索引字段

摘要 #secondcivilwarletters 标签出现在保守派媒体人物亚历克斯·琼斯 (Alex Jones) 发推文称民主党支持者正在计划第二次内战之后。由此产生的推文模仿了美国内战士兵回家信的风格，经常对当代美国政治发表严厉的评论和批评，尤其是对特朗普总统的反对。虽然这通常是通过直接参考社会政治事件来实现的，但这些推文也利用食物参考作为索引特定社会身份和意识形态立场以及相关政治联盟的手段。新兴指标显示了四个与食品相关的关键指标领域：Nutrition、Hipster、Basic 和 MAGA。
