dirtbag left as a term should he retired because it's pretty much just how the actual left functions and now mostly exists as a way for twitter personalities to act indignant when people get mad at then for saying the word "human being" imo

it was useful at first to distinguish between leftists who were energetic and would curse and lifeless academic types, but the latter is basically nowhere to be found and now its mostly 20 somethings and teens posting guillotine memes

I've only listened to some of the older What's Left podcasts but she seemed pretty on-the-money about how Warren got overly generous coverage even from nominally "left" or socialist-leaning media. She talked a lot about Twitter to an annoying degree but I haven't looked into whatever drama surrounded her since delving into left podcast drama sounds like a nightmare. I gather she got kicked off another podcast or something.

Wasn't that in the context where the "left" includes people like Anderson Cooper and Neera Tanden? If people are remembering the difference between liberalism and actual leftism, the term is probably obsolete.

I've literally only ever heard the term Dirtbag left used to describe Chapo, and then the writer goes on to explain what it means.

It was the go-to term for a couple years to describe Chapo to the unfamiliar, but I don't think Chapo are even "dirtbag" anymore. It described the aesthetic of a particular moment, and that moment has changed. Socialists are a small but real current in political culture now, instead of a fringe to "progressives".

The people who cling to calling themselves "dirtbag" are only going to get weirder and weirder as the rest of the left moves on.

This is why Radio War Nerd is "great" because they go over all the war crimes in painstaking detail

I'm not sure if RWN has done an episode about the Korean War itself. They did a great interview about Korea and the legacy of the war on its politics.

In any case, it's also plausible that even if we did use bioweapons in Korea that the CIA would believe those POWs were brainwashed.
