Amber A’Lee Frost: Vulgarity and the Dirtbag Left | Doomscroll

My guest is Amber A'Lee Frost, a writer, organizer, co-host of the Chapo Trap House podcast‪@ChapoTrapHouse‬ and the author of Dirtbag (2023).

We discuss today's dysfunctional left, elite overproduction, online political subcultures and the emergence of “youth” as a counter-cultural and consumer demographic. Is the New Right support for labor real? What does it mean for American workers?
