I feel a satisfaction hearing that some figure on social media is embroiled in a controversy and realizing that I had muted them a long time ago. The common themes that turn me off to people in general is
Humor based on punching down, deriding easy targets in a way that implies a natural superiority over a superficially detestable outgroup
Huckster-like communication style, where grandiose, far-off promises are supported by conveniently unfalsifiable claims.
Tactical, endless derision of an enemy indiscriminately, even when the derogatory claims contradict
Self-aggrandizement or insults based on immutable traits
Lacking any ability to self-deprecate unless the self-deprecation is made obvious to lack any substance
