It's the dunk tank.
This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.
Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.
Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.
Rule 3: No sectarianism.
Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome
Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)
Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.
Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.
Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to [email protected]
Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again

Can someone explain the whole Dasha/Red Scare pod thing? Last I recall was her doing the Sailor Socialism thing back in 2018 (feels like a lifetime ago now). Then hearing something about her becoming a tradcath a couple years later.
You basically summed it up.
It's more like once the money dried up for the socialist and progressive movement outside of some podcasts and the DSA, Dasha and Anna just decided to jump onto the next easiest band-wagon, which in the New York arts scene is Alt-right but hot because we're ironic about it and everyone involved does cocaine and has money. Then Dasha got a bit part in Succession, and now has really leaned into the trad-Cath.
At this point they are basically on the same tired hot-girl podcast grind, except instead of petty DSA stuff it's petty NY art scene and weird religious grievances stuff. They are just provocateurs and trend followers at heart.
They also got some Peter Thiel bucks at some point iirc

Lol I remember that... Oh man what was it called, something about dark intellectualism or some such nonsense? Yeah they are on about getting the bag. It really is just bourgeoisie liberal feminism masquerading as conservative values. Very funny stuff.
