In all seriousness (so to speak)...

Dirtbag left

The dirtbag left is a style of left-wing politics that eschews civility to convey a left-wing populist and anti-capitalist message using vulgarity. It is most closely associated with American left-wing media that emerged in the mid-2010s, such as the podcast Chapo Trap House.

The NYT is awful for redefining words however it likes. Also - maybe "dirtbag = DIY" is an in-joke for the powerful at that shit rag.
