It's easy to say that it feels like a psyop, but the levels of class reductionism - that is to say - the knee-jerk ridicule of intersectional shit or critical race theory stuff feels highly suspect. Like, you can't say white people are nerds (which they are) in a lot of anti-woke left spaces without harsh rebukes, and it seems really suspect to me. Is there a real fash pipeline in our midst? Are class reductionist white people that sensitive and defensive and... well... white to the point that they can't let go of their privilege even in the context of them being left?
I’d say that “dirtbag” isn’t an ideology so much as an aesthetic. That is, where the profane, ugly, and ridiculous is used as a rhetorical tool against reactionary and liberal targets.

Well, no wonder it's attracting so many crypto-fascists. That's basically what they do. You just described every meme that ever appeared on /r/The_Donald. They just had their own, twisted idea of "reactionaries" - that's what people like McCain and Romney seem like to them.
