dirtbags are famously uninterested in debating landlords with logic, and are very interested in the praxis of Maoist Red Guard youth

      I like dirtbag left but I agree the label is becoming toxic as more and more people see it as "leftists who use slurs" rather than "leftists who use vulgarity to punch up."

        It was a better label in the Trump years to present an alternative to worthless pearl-clutching lib "Resistance". But yeah, think it's pretty obsolete at this point.

          Dirtbag left is when you cheer on COVID-19 to kill Trump. You understand it wouldn't stop the American Empire but it's funny and that's what matters.

          That civility shit drives me nuts. All those articles like "this man is a dictator", "this man is like Hitler", "Trump brings the US closer to fascism" and he gets covid and you suddenly can't mock him for it?

          Why the fuck not? Is he literally the worst human on Earth or not? If Trump is genuinely then why do I have to pretend to give a shit about his horrid grieving family. Like any of them would grieve his fucking death anyway.

            Haha remember the r/politics megathread when Trump got covid? Their moderators pinned a message warning users that even "expressing extreme indifference" to Trump having covid would result in a ban. That was absolutely wild! Something something North Korea forces people to cry when their leader dies! Oh wait, no that's American social media lmao

              I have the energy of the guy with the cigarette from this video about damn near everything. Truly a hero of the people.

              "I left because I was lazy...went to China and read a bunch of books about Communism and DPRK...Lived there and know all this is bullshit...American cops look like giant pigs that shoot people fuck them"

              I can't believe the fucking bible thumpers reported him to the NIS (South Korean CIA) for saying he respected Kim Il Sung more than God lmao

          Maybe, but we will have to see cause if the media keeps on this path of preening coverage of Biden and civil drone strikes, the need for dirtbags will rise
