imo Red Scare is more of a comedy podcast than a political podcast. it's closer to Cum Town than Chapo, they talk about politics just as much and their (really just Anna's) political affiliation is contrarianism. Anna deliberately misinterprets events and contorts her takes accordingly, and then there'll be a pause and Dasha will offer a lukewarm "sure." it's schtick and obviously not for everyone. this is only to say that taking them at face value or seriously is just as much a waste of time as getting mad about a Cum Town bit. they (Anna) thrive off the negative attention on Twitter, if you don't like them just ignore them. most of the humor for me (and Dasha/Meg) is how stupid or insane Anna sounds sometimes.

Are we not, as a culture, done with contrarianism yet

anna khachiyan is not contrarian, she actually has p consistent horrible opinions
― flopson, Thursday, 4 October 2018 17:29 (five years ago) link
those are not mutually exclusive, they go hand in hand. you could say the exact same thing about Camille Paglia.
― flappy bird, Thursday, 4 October 2018 17:33 (five years ago) link
contrarian implies opportunism; imho anna is a principled bigot

I don't think RS really works as a comedy podcast because they spend too much time on their dogshit opinions tbh
― wayne trotsky (Simon H.), Thursday, 4 October 2018 17:52 (five years ago) link
someone on reddit pointed out that Dasha and Anna look like young Walter Becker and Donald Fagan and now it's all I can think about whenever someone mentions red scare

Probably a function of the fact that Anna takes up 75% of the airtime.

AK’s schtick really hammers home for me just how empty and reactionary contrarianism is as a mode of commentary, since it can’t exist without something to bristle against. She would be lost without her lefty/liberal media peers to piss off.

The reading series are getting kind of exhausting too now unfortunately, way too much commentary and not enough reading the article. Having five people jumping all over a Rod Dreher piece really kills the fun.

I do a show with four hosts - it can work as long as you have someone conducting/moderating, which I think Will tries and mostly fails to do. Even less of an excuse for crosstalk since they usually record in the same room.

this article about chapo and Jordan Peterson is too long and not all good, but I liked these bits:
https://americanaffairsjournal.org/2018/10/clean-rooms-and-dirtbags/
Conservative Canadian professor Jordan Peterson and socialist Brooklynite podcast Chapo Trap House have a lot in common. They each make around a hundred thousand dollars a month from Patreon donations. They each inspire both adoration and revulsion, while rejecting, in different ways, forms of political correctness. And they share an audience—what Angela Nagle, writing in the Atlantic, called “lost boys” and what the Chapo guys call “failsons”—fans in their mid-20s, very frequently white, overwhelmingly male, with little direction in life but an aching need for purpose and meaning.
My best guess about what distinguishes a Peterson lost boy fan from a Chapo failson fan is that the two will tend to have different capacities. Peterson’s cleanliness emphasizes broad, shallow learning, aprioristic thinking, simplicity, symbolism, and sincerity. Chapo’s dirt emphasizes obsessive knowledge of various elements of modern culture (message boards, left-wing politics, film, anime, etc.), social reasoning, clever witticisms, complexity, the concrete, and irony. But Peterson’s logic does not really cohere in Twelve Rules for Life. And The Chapo Guide to Revolution isn’t a remotely clever book.
