/384/ Millennial Rule ft. Amber A'Lee Frost
Added 2024-01-23 07:00:03 +0000 UTCOn Dirtbag and the Millennial Left.
Bungacast regular Amber A'Lee Frost is back to talk about her new book, Dirtbag — part memoir, part critical essays on millennial socialism. In this episode we discuss:
- Why "millennial"? Does it make sense to talk in generational terms?
- What are the left's "perversions" as Amber sees them?
- 'Occupy' was all leaderless, horizontalist crap. Why did Amber stick around?
- Bernie Sanders did not leave an organizational legacy – why?
- After the failure of left-populism, in US and Europe, was it all worth it?

Felt personally attacked when she described socialists as useless nerds with no friends.
