an episode came up in a youtube playlist while i was sorta bored youtube surfing this weekend!

Felix on the latest premium episode put into words exactly what I was feeling on Thursday:
"Lying on instinct versus deliberate grandstanding. The way that Brett Kavanaugh cried reminded me so much of how I felt during [the Bush 43 years]. It's the veneer of respectability."

The comments section for that fascism explainer is a trip. If you have no context re: chapo it's just a dude giving a pretty straight-faced lecture and all the comments are ppl shouting about beer and one dude going "i voted trump but might go leftist next time".

Q&A with Michael Moore and the treat boys of @CHAPOTRAPHOUSE pic.twitter.com/6z31fjIp6c— Ah shit, I used a spooky name in the handle! ⚾️ (@TheJoeGomez) October 3, 2018
Curious how the talk went as Matt’s(if not the entire show’s) politics are more explicity leftist or Marxist than Moore’s ever were

i have this weird idea in my head that moore is getting radicalized by the dry boys

Sorry but airing out alleged sexual predators in a literal Twitter thread isn’t “seeking justice” or “telling your story,” it’s attempting to capitalize on your trauma in exchange for agreeing to be exploited by a massive digital platform— Anna Khachiyan (@annakhachiyan) October 3, 2018

― flappy bird, Thursday, 4 October 2018 17:04 (five years ago) link
she's tweeted about camille paglia multiple times including pictures of paglia books she's reading
― ( ͡☉ ͜ʖ ͡☉) (jim in vancouver), Thursday, 4 October 2018 17:06 (five years ago) link
and she basically has the same views

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.

sounds like tremendous content.

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
― flopson, Thursday, 4 October 2018 17:46 (five years ago) link
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.

yeah, just listening to something stupid play out is much more fun than hearing people yelling "This is so stupid!" after every sentence

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.
