Why now, why not 10 years ago?

I'm glad there's at least enough hostility to Fuentes that it can damage your career to humor him, even if it doesn't reach the level that it should (banishment from public life and re-education).

hell yeah, Red Scare pod hosts are like genuinely bad people now. Their Twitters are worse with all the groyper shit than even the interview was.

Even the RSP sub doesn't like them anymore. The hosts use ideology as an accessory, yet somehow managed to spectacularly misread the zeitgeist. I suppose that's what happens when your fundamental principle is contrainianism.

To think that at one point Dasha was the pro-Bernie Sailor uniform healthcare person

They are as right wing as you can get and yet still have some ‘left cred’

[–] LaughingLion@hexbear.net 20 points 1 day ago

they have no left cred

still have some ‘left cred’

Since when? Just because a handful of wannabee Amerikkkan strasserite losers on reddit-logo are horny for them, I don't think that gives them any "left cred".

Oh no wherever will that agency find another guileless contrarian fame chaser? I bet those are really hard to find at a talent agency.

2 and a half hours of Dasha Nekrasova Anna Khachiyan and Nick Fuentes is probably what you’re forced to listen to in the ninth circle of hell

[–] rootsbreadandmakka@hexbear.net 26 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

Idk for some reason I can’t stop laughing at that line, it sounds like a joke: Two and a half hours of red scare and nick Fuentes titled “Fuentanyl.” And there are people who actually listen to it.

lol, what an idiot. she had some 4-5 episode supporting role in Succession on HBO and i saw her again in that A24 Romcom The Materialists in another small supporting role. like obviously her agency was getting her work in spite of the odds in the industry.

is this her attempt to have a "more like 5am" moment?

Didn't Adam Friedland date her? Yikes

The TA, CT, and RS hosts were super close at one point. I think they are still somewhat close, but nobody knows for sure.

[–] LaughingLion@hexbear.net 19 points 1 day ago

yeah... long time ago. 8 years ago? fuck its been a long time. the joke has always been that dating adam was so bad it turned her into an antisemite

[–] dead@hexbear.net 33 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Earlier this year, Adam Friedland told GQ Magazine that he and Brace Belden became friends through both dating Dasha.

[–] Parzivus@hexbear.net 36 points 1 day ago (2 children)

The mini interview with Brace about Friedland in the GQ piece is one of his best bits

Friedland’s friend Brace Belden, a host of the leftist podcast TrueAnon, whose previous claims to fame include a voluntary tour of duty with a Kurdish militia during the Syrian civil war, tells me over the phone that Friedland does indeed have political convictions. While some might call him “the rudest person on Earth,” Belden says warmly, he’s actually “a great role model for people who have grown up in a pretty tough society, with either genetic or intellectual disabilities, that see somebody who resembles them on TV.” Belden doesn’t think Friedland would travel overseas to join a revolutionary socialist militia the way he did, but that that’s mostly because Friedland is smarter. “Despite his demeanor and general attitude, he does believe in things.”

Belden met Friedland five or six years ago; he says they both dated Nekrasova at points. They now hang out a couple of times a week, sometimes at the Russian & Turkish Baths on Men’s Only night, which is known to be tactile and welcoming. Belden says he (and sometimes 20 other friends) receive constant unsolicited calls from Friedland, who loves talking on the phone. “It’s sort of one long, slow, humiliating experience as opposed to a sudden acute one,” Belden says of their friendship. “Every time we’ve hung out it’s basically been the equivalent of a guy shitting his pants a little bit. It’s getting full. He’s gotta wear those giant officer pants they wore in the 1910s now.” The last time they hung out, Belden went over to Friedland’s home in Brooklyn's Fort Greene neighborhood, where Friedland bragged about his Bob Dylan bootleg collection.

Belden speaks about the show like it provides a borderline therapeutic or rehabilitative service for celebrities gone “spiritually or career-wise” awry. “It could be,” he suggests, “that Adam is so empty that your soul has to not only fill the vessel that contains it but part of his as well.”

lmao, it's amazing how Brace is never NOT doing a bit and he just keeps getting interviews anyway.

This is the guy who keeps telling you to "be normal" lmfao

[–] BigBoyKarlLiebknecht@hexbear.net 18 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I haven’t listened to TrueAnon in years, and yet it feels like every time I see a quote from them it involves casual ableism sadness

[–] LeninWeave@hexbear.net 21 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

I simply do not expect better from the podcast clique, because I know I would be disappointed if I did. yea

[–] CredibleBattery@hexbear.net 12 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

very glad to hear that someone else stepped up after nick left

[–] SorosFootSoldier@hexbear.net 18 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Brace too?! My god these podcasting scenes are all inceestious.

[–] LeninWeave@hexbear.net 28 points 1 day ago

Brooklyn cocaine enthusiast community.

Not sure if the photo was legit or not, but a couple years ago a photo surfaced of Dasha and Brace at the same house party in the early/mid 2010's in California.

If that's the case, that fling was before any of these podcasts formed, and even Brace going to fight in the Syrian Civil War.

She will start going on about being cancelled or some shit.

Brain dead morons like this have one playbook.

[–] LeninWeave@hexbear.net 12 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Hasn't "I'm so edgy, I'm too edgy for the left who are canceling me" already been her thing for almost forever?

[–] nothx@hexbear.net 12 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Oh i honestly don't know much about her other than what i accidentally learn here.

[–] LeninWeave@hexbear.net 12 points 1 day ago

solidarity Me too, lol.
