"John Oliver"-left (which is to say, center), may be cracking low-quality Trump-voter jokes.
"Jacobin Magazine"-left, which has a better claim to the mainstream title imo, is all about publicizing interesting and charitable analyses of the phenomenon.

Yeah, it's a hairy topic. However, the author states that they had trouble finding left-leaning "books and other discussions [...] that really address that social classes are cultures", which honestly seems like they weren't trying very hard.
- convexfunction 11y agoYeah, the overloading on "left" is definitely an issue here. I agree the Jacobin types are much more likely to have some self-awareness here (though I've unfortunately met a cluster of counterexamples).
