Williamsburg hipsters? Or aging Williamsburg hipsters? I just don’t know any more:
Hahaha, “START A POLITICAL THEATER GROUP! MARX, BRECHT APPALLED, LAUGH FROM THE HEAVENS.” Come to our house, young hipsters! We will explain why all your newfangled music and activism is so much less hip than our music and activism, which took place in the ’90s, and therefore mattered! Also, we’ve prepared a terrific seitan burrito that you can eat before you come to our yoga class! You don’t have to “BLOW SHIT COCAINE + BS UP YOUR ASS” any more. Why, in our day, we snorted it!
Oh, and I love the fact that the “THE WORKING LEFT” takes time to note that it is “IVY LEAGUE TRAINED.” Wouldn’t want any second-rate liberal arts schooling in your pro-working-class radical circles, now would you?
If this isn’t a joke, it may well be the funniest thing I have ever seen.

This note holds a special place in my heart. I love when two achingly similar groups wage cultural war on one another as if they were in any way different. As long as the war is limited to passive-aggressive notes and blog commentary, that is.
