/395/ A Coup From Within the Computer ft. Benjamin Studebaker (excerpt)

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"?
