      1. Since people were asking about this subtweet, let me un pack it a little. There used to be a magazine called Living Marxism which morphed in 1990s into Spiked and now Spiked-Online. They take money from Koch Bros & specialize in Climate Change denial & other rightwing causeshttps://twitter.com/HeerJeet/status/1147169748410609670 …

      Jeet Heer added,

      It's hardly surprising that the dirtball left has been embraced by former Marxists who now specialize in climate denial and other forms of right-wing contrarianism.

      2. Spiked-Online just published this article celebrating the Anti-Woke Left (a.k.a. dirtbag left). I think that's telling because there are signs that dirtbag left will follow trajectory of Spiked (left to right): https://www.spiked-online.com/2019/07/04/meet-the-anti-woke-left/ …

      3. I'll add that the problem with the dirtbag left is not that it's offensive but that it's lazy. I mean, the sort of shock humor it specializes in is a pretty low grade of comedy, one that's common to c-list stand-up.

          4. Comedy is based on social discomfort, the saying of the unsayable. So easy to get a laugh by using slur based on race, gender, sexual identity. The trick is to go beyond that easy laugh & explore the discomfort, as say Pryor did. But dirtbag humor is mostly at easy level

          So many terms, could you help us out by giving like, the three most important beliefs of the “dirtbag left”?

          Not to mention their lazy built-in retort and basically anything: you’re a corrupt, groupthiking shill for liberal pieties

          The problem with the Nation is that it fucking sold out to the Democratic establishment. This attack on the "dirtbag left" is just Warren fans attacking Bernie supporters.

          On Chapo they made the key prediction: One day most of Warren's support is going to evaporate and move to a more establishment figure like Harris.
