The "Dirtbag Left" are generally:

•cis-het white men
•class reductionist
•edgelords/folks who teeter on being "edgy" for its own sake, thinking they're George Carlin
•utilize "SJW" as a pejorative unironically
•hate Black activist vocab+AAVE yet appropriate it... https://twitter.com/PhilosophyTube/status/1252910590730919936

...when it suits THEIR needs and liking( via "wokescold[ing]).

[See: woke, cancel, intersectionality, lit, simp, yaaassss, kween, etc]

Oh, a BIG thing that defines the "Dirtbag Left"?

CYNICISM WITHIN THEIR PRAXIS.

TDL (the dirtbag left) often think they're just being realistic and pragmatic but nope; especially depending on the topic being discussed, they're actually wielding cynicism like a blunt object. It's a cynicism that's often reserved for folks who understand that socialism...

...will not eradicate racism, sexism, etc, and dismisses everyone who is real about this whole cloth as being performative. Some may use nuance when it applies, but it's rare.

Another characteristic of TDL is the application of the principle of charity to otherwise problematic people, if only to increase numbers on the left, & dismiss concerns about this practice as "purity politics". I've seen it done by some BIPOC leftists, but it's QWHITE COMMON...

..via our more alabaster brethren, sistren, etc.

And yes, folks along the queer and gender spectrum are in TDL as well.

See Amber from Chapo Trap House, Vaush, PigPuncher, etc...

...I think I've covered it all, in a general sense. If more comes to me, I'll add it to this thread.
