Over the last week I could swear I've seen way more LIB types suddenly throwing around the word troglodyte left right and centre

As a leftist that just recently used the word to describe a leftist troll, is there a racist or abelist context about the word that I am unfamiliar with?

Please feel free to bombard my comment w/ downvotes if I was being a fuckwad :(

Libs with online slang are sort of like white people with black culture. They learn of it several years after the fact, appropriate it and misuse it.
Troglodyte is an insult I've seen used in left spaces a bunch some years ago. Now they discovered it. It's like Tankie or whatever

It's a Reddit reddit-logo thing
