On media and the Millennial Left. [Patreon Exclusive: for full episode, subscribe at patreon.com/bungacast] Continuing the retrospective on the millennial left's failures, we invite political theorist Benjamin Studebaker back on. We discuss:* Was left-populism a media event? * Was the Millennial Left just a moment in internet history? * Having bought into the internet's possibilities, can we abandon it? * Does it make sense to speak of a "millennial" left? * Faced with so many dead ends, do we need to "go monastic"?
