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.

Why should anyone care? He killed a ceo. That's all that matters really.

Humans like to understand contexts and motives. The fact that the wealth of the CEO comes from the same place as the wealth of his family is interesting to understand how he got radicalized and why he chose that target.

I can't believe I have to explain that.

It seems to me like it's a way to try and undermine the legitimacy of his action. But ok.

You gotta explain how that would undermine the legitimacy of his action.

Because people would see him as a hypocrite?

[–] Pili@hexbear.net 7 points 2 weeks ago

People don't see Engels and Castro as hypocrites, even though the former was a bourgeois and the family of the latter was landowners.

If anything, it gives him more legitimacy because his close relation to the health industry gives him a better understanding of the damages it does, and because his family would be directly negatively affected if that industry collapsed, so his act was definitely selfless.
