They supported Bernie and attended BLM protests until it wasn’t profitable, then pivoted hard right to grift, which backfired. They’ve lost a third of their paying members in the past 24 months.

Increasingly irrelevant, spiritually vacant.

The answer is that they had some Bernie talking points when that was ‘cool’ and Dasha was dating Adam from Cumtown. That said, unlike Cumtown there wasn’t actually any irony to their racism and transphobia, though it was hard to tell with their vocal fry, and they only got away with with it as long as they did because of their minor association with Amber from Chapo Trap House. At best they were more reminiscent of old style communist hard-liners with their anti-gay and trans rhetoric, but they never really understood any other part of what like ‘ML’ theory was because there was ‘nerd shit’.

Otherwise they were just mean ‘hot girls’. That was their brand, and their podcast was exclusively about niche NY art scene squabbles and Twitter beef. When money dried up for the ‘mean democratic socialist’ angle, they immediately pivoted to ‘mean right-wing hot art girls’, which was basically what they were all along, just now officially taking money from Peter Thiel and not gaslighting us about where their political feelings actually were.

Overall, they just think that their audience is fucking stupid, ugly and desperate for female attention, so they have zero respect for them, but also have zero respect for anything or anyone else. They will always go with the movement that they think will hold them the least accountable for their words and actions.

Were they leftists as some point?

fuck no lol

They were “dirtbag left” adjacent in kind of the same social orbit as Chapo and Cumtown.

If you look at the user history of an /r/stupidpol user there’s a good chance they were also /r/redscarepod users.

All Ive heard is that one of their members apparently is a flat earther, which is all I needed to know to not care about them.

Red Scare used to be friends with Chapo and Trueanon, like 6+ years ago. Earlier this year, Adam Friedland told GQ magazine that he and Brace Belden met through both dating Dasha.

I’ve never listened to red scare pod. It’s pretty clear that their podcast fully pivoted right wing, if they were ever even left. Earlier this year they also had Tucker Carlson as a guest. In 2018, Dasha had gone viral for saying that she supported Bernie Sanders and Free Healthcare while wearing a Sailor Moon costume.

Nick Fuentes is an open neo-nazi and self-described incel. It’s surprising to see him in a room with any women.
