Outdated definition, now it's used for people pretending to be something they're not more generally. Right wingers getting into camo and doing drill pretending to be military. Terminally online left wingers pretending they could punch a nazi or start a revolution.

What’s the word for crusty old contrarians?

Is that a shot at me? I'm pretty sure I can't be contrarian if my opinion is the vastly more mainstream one. Most people don't advocate political violence like that. I'm not sure a lefty can be the one calling people crusty, it's your end of the aisle pioneering that state of being. And I'm not old, sorry.

I guess I figured with all the time you spend online you might have seen the term I'm looking for.

There's no need to take it so hard buddy, people might think you're defending yourself.

Not sure I'm taking anything hard right now. Like I said I'm not a terminally online lefty so I've missed whatever passive aggressive thing you were going for.

Cool.
