There is a self-destructive tendency in too many leftists to be obsessed with not appearing naive or vulgar — probably this is one of the results of the overwhelming power of bourgeois ideology (”common sense”) in current capitalism. My image for it has always been the stereotypical Victorian Matron who raises her chin and draws in her skirts to show that she isn’t like those women. Doug in particular is going to have serious neck problems from constantly looking down
