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.

Funny clip, but do not try to use this line irl comrades unless you just want to look like a freak and make everyone with a nuanced view of the Soviet Union look incrementally more like a freak by proxy.

There are better arguments.

Saying "the population grew 1.2%" over 30 years as if that's some kind of standalone own really just reveals how little you even understand about what you're saying, and makes the rest of us look delusional.

I mean world war two happened. Hard for your population to grow when 20 million die

let's collect some suggestions from our comrades for solid one-shot responses in this situation

Breht from Rev Left once said a good response is "can you tell me a single book you've read on the subject?"

I tend more towards something along the lines of "don't you think it's strange that your opinion on official enemies of the United States are always 1:1 with those of the US State Department?"

It’s possible that it is itself a trap to get the “not good faith” inquisitor to speak on your terms and not theirs. Idk what the next part of it was but if he asks “how come only so little growth?” Then you suddenly have a platform to say that Stalin and Russia saved the world from fascism

[–] Yukiko@hexbear.net 9 points 1 month ago

Yup. You gotta lead the person asking the questions. That's how you truly own a conversation.

nah you should use the line irl anyway

unless you're worried about getting arrested or something. Which fine.

What if I do want to look like a freak because I crave scorn and contempt though

[–] MF_COOM@hexbear.net 8 points 1 month ago (1 children)

That's fine just don't drag down a liberatory cause on your way
