both Vaush and people like the chapos are considered part of the 'dirtbag left', but I don't have nearly as many problems with CTH as I do vaush. What separates the two? my theories are that people like xanderhal and Vaush seem to take marginalized groups for granted and advocate for power structures in society, but the chapos have seen through the veil of neoliberalism.
At this point, "dirtbag left" refers to practically anybody who does not work for the mainstream media, makes no attempt to be civil and has vaguely left-wing opinions.
