When I used to spend time on tumblr, I noticed that there is a trend of self-deprecating jokes amongst the "woke". But they are usually the type of jokes that are supposed to elicit some sympathy. For example, they would joke about their social anxiety being so bad that they can't look the cashier in the eye when they make a payment. But I've rarely seen them make fun of actually stupid things that they do (individually or as a group).

Of course, tumblr isn't representative of all the left, but I do think that it reflects a trend on that side.
