Bubble Tea Posted January 5, 2023 Posted January 5, 2023 Do you listen to the iconic pod? "Red Scare is a cultural commentary podcast hosted by bohemian layabouts Anna Khachiyan and Dasha Nekrasova." They've spawned an iconic subculture and popular subreddit devoted to their critique of modern day popular and mass cultures. I don't agree with everything they say but find their voices very refreshing. They say about 20 things per podcast that would have ATRL's pitchforks out so I suspect they may not be beloved on here, but you never know. Dasha is also well known for being "sailor socialism" in this viral video:
SmittenCake Posted January 5, 2023 Posted January 5, 2023 I only know of Dasha because of that Sailor video from years ago. Isn't she and the rest of the Red Scare girls terfs and facists? or are they communists?
Sugar-Rush Posted January 5, 2023 Posted January 5, 2023 (edited) Quote They've spawned an iconic subculture and popular subreddit devoted to their critique of modern day popular and mass cultures. They critique popular culture while technically becoming part of popular culture? Also aren't they infamously anti-feminist? Edited January 5, 2023 by Sugar-Rush
Gov Hooka Posted January 5, 2023 Posted January 5, 2023 No I listen to rev left radio and millennials are killing capitalism because I actually like to hear intelligent background noise if I’m gonna listen to podcasts
Mitsouko Posted January 5, 2023 Posted January 5, 2023 No. Aren't they right-wing af? Maybe I'm mistaken
Communion Posted January 5, 2023 Posted January 5, 2023 That video of Dasha will always be iconic but they kinda jumped the shark and their online presence is more about edgy contrarianism than a coherent political worldview. At least like Cumtown and Chapo Trap House tried to make themselves seem about politics before anything else. Bad Faith with Briahna Joy Gray outsold.

Even this thread is a good example - no one really knows what they stand for, and it's because they don't stand for anything they just talk a lot of **** and it's funny.
Pop Life Posted January 7, 2023 Posted January 7, 2023 My husband listens to them and they seem lowkey toxic. It's also weird hearing them slowly drift to the right while acting like they're not
bleuwaffle Posted January 7, 2023 Posted January 7, 2023 (edited) ya love them, but i've become more of a center-left adam friedland show watcher lately Edited January 7, 2023 by bleuwaffle
Ice Cream Skies Posted January 7, 2023 Posted January 7, 2023 They make a lot of sense to me, and they’re funny, so yes I am a fan.
