And do you know what? The "Dirtbag Left" could be good. It could be great in all honesty. It could be a place that uses irony and humor to deflect from the spiritual emptiness that is pervasive throughout the hellscape. It could be a spiritual evolution in the vein of like an Eli Valley cartoon or whatever; disgusting, acknowledging of the disgusting nature of reality, and camaraderie in knowledge of that reality. But it isn't. It's people who listened to a podcast a few years ago recycling bits from it and the endless scrollspace of Twitter ad nauseum, people who've never read a book but have gotten ~5% of Settlers through memes arguing with people who've read 50 and never synthesized a bit of it, it's just tiring. Holy shit, be funny, be compassionate, and try to be both--but the latter takes precedent over the former.
