Breadtube if it didn't suck.

Post videos you genuinely enjoy and want to share, duh. Celebrate the diversity of interests shared by chapochatters by posting a deep dive into Venetian kelp farming, I dunno. Also media criticism, bite-sized versions of left-wing theory, all the stuff you expected. But I am curious about that kelp farming thing now that you mentioned it.

Low effort / spam videos might be removed, especially weeb content.

There is a cytube that you can paste videos into and watch with whoever happens to be around. It's open submission unless there's something important to commandeer it with at the time.

A weekly watch party happens every Saturday (Sunday down under), with video nominations Saturday-Monday, voting Monday-Thursday. See the pin for whatever stage it's currently in.

Clipped this last night to share here, I've probably watched it 20 times since I found it on Thursday

I guess it's all about expectations, I expected him to be much worse on China (he famously put Deng's picture on the cover of A Brief History of Neoliberalism) so I was surprised how much more nuanced he was than I expected lol

Oh he is that anti-China? Well that considered not so bad, but still pretty bad.

His comment about chips and computers was especially weird. Like there would not be goods made in socialism? Like it would just end there. Smelled like some latent braimworms about "capitalism and the free market as innovation" and the myth of modernization & capitalism as a whole.

Also disappointed how little he aknowledged the weight of history especially regarding imperialist forces, good on the first commenter to go so hard on that point even though they were clearly nervous in doing so.

The stark difference on the focuses of the panelists did really highlight the different conditions these people are from as well.
