Get the Pop-left mug.The left wing answer to the alt-right: dumb, uninformed angry people on the internet getting themselves worked up about trivial feel-good causes and superficial social justice issues while ignoring actual left-wing values like worker's rights, environmental protection, and actual social justice.

The pop-left is protesting about student housing officials at Harvard being called "House Masters", from the latin "Magister" or "teacher". In other news, a Walmart employees' union has been shut down, a Mississippi judge was caught accepting bribes for sending innocent people to private prisons, and a carbon-limiting treaty was rejected, but no one cares.
