The trueanon subreddit says the redscare subreddit is full of nazbols. The show itself is Joe Rogan for metropolitan divas
From what I've heard the podcast is financed by Peter Thiel and the hosts themselves are right wing so, no It's not left wing. Also the subreddit is a cesspool of transphobia and body shaming.
If all the comments weren't already enough, they had Nick Fuentes on recently as a guest and they weren't trying to inflict grievous bodily harm on him, so
The podcast is not leftwing. From what I understand, they started as "dirt bag left" and then moved right years ago
Don't know about the subreddit
No. It started out “left wing” in those halcyon days of the mid 2010s when all you really had to do to be considered left wing and gain online clout was say I support Bernie or some shit. So they were generally left wing in that they were associated with Chapo and were a part of that whole “dirtbag left” Brooklyn podcaster scene, but (and I never listened to the podcast but this was always my understanding) there was never a lot of substance to their political stance and it was mostly just a general radlib dirtbag left aesthetic. But the cool hip position for a young Brooklynite back then was to support Bernie and that whole DSA style leftism so they by default held these positions.
Then the one-two punch of Covid and the George Floyd protests happened which broke a lot of people’s brains. The leftists were now being asked to stand on principle and many (read: most) couldn’t do it. The Red Scare girls were prime candidates for those who wouldn’t be able to since they mostly just held their beliefs by default. They ended up becoming part of the “Dimes Square” non-scene which was mostly just a bunch of young rich Manhattanites who were mad about mask mandates and idk if they were all fascists before but because leftists were asking them to mask and criticizing them for not doing so they all got really into far right politics. Dasha sort of became the it girl of this non-scene since she was and remains the most well-known of anyone involved. So that’s what led to them having Alex Jones and now Nick Fuentes on the show.
You also had a lot of leftists who became leftists because it was the cool youth culture thing to do from like 2015-2019 and many who just wanted to criticize liberals and identity politics - essentially the anti-PC anti-SJW anti-woke mentality but without having to be considered “uncool” - and these people never developed any actual socialist principles and when the time came for these people to actually be principled it just wasn’t there. The right wing allowed them to hate identity politics and this time without having to pretend to care about other things so they moved into the hard right camp. A lot of these people were stupidpol types and this pretty much describes the red scare fanbase now as I understand it.
Missing in here is the context that it's all Adam Friedland's fault. He started dating Dasha and introduced her to the Brooklyn podcast group and helped her get her own show started.
Cumtown and its consequences
Not to be confused with the "red menace" podcast, which is great. It's the sister podcast to rev left radio about theory.
Is Mussolini a leftist
Both complete garbage, avoid
They were stupidpol leftists.
The entire stupidpol crowd moved right because the right would allow them to be shitbags whereas the left would criticise them for their reactionary views constantly.
Strasserites is probably the closest comparison.
no
it might have been long ago, it was too annoying for me to give a shit even at the time, but it absolutely isn't now
At some point, I was confused about it because I didn't know the history but heard the name which sounds left-y so I stated listening to one episode.
They said "abortion is literally killing babies"; advocate voting Republican in NY and I think there was also something heinous about black people.
Lol I just found this on their front pagehttps://old.reddit.com/r/redscarepod/comments/1o6a834/seeing_us_culture_war_talking_points_become_an/
Who is the desperate American who made up this myth that the leftism is antithetical to fighting ethnic/gender oppression?

It's stupidpol2 basically
Data is 2 years out of date
I read it sometimes and they have been fully infiltrated by 4chan-tier rightoids. It was always an undercurrent but it’s really really bad now. Got way worse since the Charlie Kirk stuff too. I suspect most of the normal people have moved on at this point.
Probably closer to being a community of people who listen to the podcast than it has been in a while.
Definitely shit but not an infiltration.
They went from dirtbag leftist to New Right years ago. Dasha's (one of the podcast hosts) Twitter as of late is almost exclusively Groyper stuff/interactions, even quite a while before they had Nick Fuentes on the show.
I assume they're basically grifting, but they've lost a pretty significant amount of Patreon members since the turn right.
I think someone said it was taken over but right-wingers or something. IDK I don't care enough to know more than that.
"Taken over" is a weird way to phrase it. The hosts of the podcast went from being left liberals (Dasha is the populariser of the concept of "Worms in their brains" in online discourse, using it to describe people who opposed medicare for all) in the chapo orbit and personal friends with a lot of those people to foaming at the mouth fascists.

no fucking way. guess even hitlerites can have a hitler particle moment.
It was specifically used for an Infowars reporter who was asking college students about Bernie Sanders in the Dem primaries. The reporter brings up Venezuelans eating rats and then Dasha asks if she has worms in her brain. At the time she was known as “Sailor Socialism” by the internet.
That Infowars reporter eventually left and now she’s a lesbian Anarchist OF creator. The two of them swapped ideologies.
The two of them swapped ideologies.
lmao
left wing of the reichsadler maybe
it wildly swings between "DPRK actually are the good guys and Bernie was based for giving us healthcare" to "immigrants and homeless are scum who are polluting superior western civilization". The only thing they are NOT is centrist neoliberal.
CW nazi imagery, average post there
yo wtf that's a literal nazi band, ofc then again i didn't know before this thread that they had Nick Fuentes on so i guess it checks out
No. They were, but turned rightist regarding cultural / social matters.
No
The podcast has gone full ethnonationalist right. The subreddit doesn't really have anything to do with the podcast anymore, and I think they describe their purpose best:
Banned? DM Wmill to appeal.
No anti-nautilism posts. See: Eco-fascism Primer
Slop posts go in c/slop. Don't post low-hanging fruit here.
this is now the first and only thing I know about this podcast wtf
