I would say it's definitely someone who is condescending about ethics and society while having underdeveloped views. Both on the left and right, "muh egalitarian utopia" and "muh iron fist supremacy" being prime incarnations. But of course, fedora is primarily a gendered insult (due to its association with neckbeard) so maybe we should come up with a gendered insult for the opposite.
