      If your contact with these dudes is limited, and/or if leftism isn't your jam, it's easy to mistake them for real leftists because a) that's what they call themselves, & b) they're in these dirtbag circles with tankies & will brainlessly parrot tankie talking points to look edgy.

      In truth, though, podcasts and reddit tend to be pretty much their only exposure to any aspect of the left, and there's zero cognizance of the different and distinctive regions of thought in leftism. It's a lifestyle brand to them, one they think allows them to play victim.

      You can see this kind of resistance to actual critical thought (really, thinking, period) in Breadtube's queerphobic rants about "queers with 30-tweet threads" or Vaush's 38-minute Youtube video of inchoate rage at the fact that my tweeted critique of dirtbags was too long.

      These guys don't read books or essays. They get uncontrollably mad when a Twitter thread is too long, ffs. They aren't here to do actual work, either. These guys aren't phonebanking/canvassing for Bernie. Bernie is just a brand they bought, a fanclub they joined.

      The appeal of this brand to them isn't moral or actually hardship-rooted. Its about the edginess, its non-normieness, and their belief that what class-based critique and socialism are *really* about is the fact that they were cheated out of their white dude privilege birthright.

      To them, the brand is *about* outsidership. For the most part, they're less successful than expected but doing relatively okay and have a deep parental support network to fall back on. They don't have any actual skin in the game.

      The fact that a Bernie win would likely be immaterial to their lived situation (at least, relative to the life-changing impact his policies might have for the actual oppressed) means they have no actual self-interest in him actually winning.

      In fact, Bernie winning the title of highest level of mainstream acceptance in the land would mean only one thing to them: a mortal threat to the lifestyle brand they've come to define themselves by and justify their sense of male victimhood with.

      I don't actually tend to think this is a conscious fear in their minds, but I do think the fact that these guys aggressively discourage other, "impure" voters from going Bernie is a behavior that rewlly tells on itself. At the very least, these guys don't care about winning.

      Everyone has a plan for winning in that they *imagine themselves winning* after doing what they do, but I disagree that the hardcore dirtbags actually have a *plan* for winning any more than the extremist Tumblr SJW types they hold up as strawmen
