I started to emotionally write off this new strain of the economically-minded hard left (that is, Jacobin readers) when some of them became stridently anti-Hamilton purely because the wrong sort of liberal liked it.

The Heavenly Wrath mode of emoting that apparently fuels this sort of politics is very hard to sustain without veering off into just being a prick. If you aren\u2019t absolutely on point then you\u2019re just making cheap shots.

It\u2019s been a little remarkable to watch deBoer go from castigating snark-as-politics to falling in with Twitter dudes who make the right sort of jokes.
