Dirtbags

Hannah and Maia discuss the post-woke, irony-poisoned community of Manhattan's lower east side - also known as Dimes Square. These podcasters (Red Scare, Chapo Trap House, Cum Town, and Wet Brain), filmmakers, literary ingenues, and bloggers have come together to be as provocative as possible. But is irony-poisoning just a long, slow descent into nihilism? And is nihilism just a lazy river into the bleak world of the alt-right? Listen to find out!  **Correction**: The charges against Kyle Rittenhouse of curfew violation and unlawful possession of a firearm were *dismissed by the judge prior to jury deliberation. He was acquitted by the jury on all other charges.  Support us on Patreon and get special bonus content! https://www.patreon.com/rehashpodcast Intro and Outro song produced by our talented friend Ian Mills: https://linktr.ee/ianmillsmusic  SOURCES: Nellie Bowles, “The Pied Pipers of the Dirtbag Left Want to Lead Everyone to Bernie Sanders” The New York Times (2020).
