Just saw Hasan and Felix (from Chapo) talk about how there's been a revamp?
I listened to it a long time ago and didn't really like it.
BTW, is this the (old, but ig also new) trinity of left podcasts - Chapo, True Anon, Cumtown?
Any others?
Edit - From the Wikipedia article on the Dirtbag Left, it seems the Starter Pack would also include Street Fight Radio and Red Scare.
It’s just 2 very dumb contrarian rich girls rambling to each other over various cultural grievances
Ah, so it has nothing to do with the left? Wonder why they're included under Dirtbag Left, then.
Dasha dated Adam who does a podcast with Nick who was roommates with Amber
It’s really that simple and nepotistic, it’s the Chapo parasocial cinematic universe
Dasha also went viral for clowning on infowars that one time, which makes her turning into a weirdo neoreactionary tradcath who hangs out with Alex Jones all the funnier. There was some piece about the bizarre reactionary art film scene she's a part of that got posted here a month or two ago that was just pure psychic damage. Like it's just a bunch of bizarre rich kid reactionaries making low budget avante garde films where the dialogue is mostly slurs.
Perfume nationalist was outed as having nazi roots. The red scarers apparently went on that. And I saw that the not-Dasha one was cozying up to terfs.
Dasha also has a minor role in Succession, which is kind of a big deal
Amber.
...Jesus lmao.
That's...awesome in how terrible that is.
To be fair to Chapo, the others are kind of hangers-on that just got attention in their wake. I don’t think Chapo did anything to promote redscare, there was just a lot of overlap in lonely millennial internet leftists who want friends I guess and these different flavors of people filled that gap
Dasha went viral for a second in the post-2016 election period as 'Sailor Socialism' and both of them adopted the dirtbag left thing while it was trendy in Brooklyn but have since moved on to the tradcath thing
Hmm, that makes sense. Leaving them out of my list, then.
