It seems increasingly likely that the rising generation is more likely to turn conservative not because they want to be rich, but because they want to be mean.

\u201cWe maybe have socially conservative ideas about gender relations,\u201d said Nekrasovoa. \u201cIt feels very dangerous to talk about this.\u201d Khachiyan is less shy, and began ticking things off. \u201cI think that women want a daddy, a provider, whether that\u2019s the state or an individual man. I think it\u2019s positive or pleasing when a man pays for you or compliments you. I think heteronormative or heterosexual sex is mostly about the male physically dominating the woman in the bedroom and both sides get off on that, it\u2019s not a shameful thing.\u201d
Murnane interrupted. \u201cI don\u2019t. If I could just care of myself, I wouldn\u2019t care if \u2018Daddy\u2019 could take care of me.\u201d
\u201cI would!\u201d said Khachiyan, grinning widely. \u201cI will go on record as saying that I would not be podcasting if I could be barefoot and pregnant in the kitchen.\u201d

A friend of mine who was an early listener to the show explained that he had found in it \u201ca thrill out of hearing these people who seemed to have no fear about violating the relatively new and very strict rules about how to talk and what to say. Not so long ago, I didn\u2019t feel particularly constrained in how I expressed myself, and I didn\u2019t feel out of step with other liberals.\u201d

Hitting recurring themes:
\u2022 New York Magazine absolutely trying to revive and own the \u201890s-style \u201cliberal ofc but c\u2019mon, let\u2019s not go overboard\u201d beat
\u2022 Post-\u201860s immigrants (two of the crew came from Russia) in the role played last cycle by the \u201cwhite ethnics\u201d unashamedly saying \u201cmiss me with that cultural leftism\u201d
