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.

It has also been frequently used as a military symbol and unofficial war flag during the Russo-Ukrainian War.[6]

It's just an unofficial war flag used for this specific conflict only! wojak-nooo

Cited source:

Balan said he doesn't dispute the UPA's complicated and at times violent history and wishes that the red and black flag would not be used at rallies because it gives pro-Russian groups an opportunity to falsely describe all Ukrainians as Nazis or antisemitic.

He said he believes most who fly the flag now are likely referencing the imagery and emotions associated with Ukraine's long history of armed struggle for independence

"Yeah, it's definitely fash, but I don't think they mean it like that right now."

Bravo. amerikkka-clap

It's like saying the people who use the swastika right now are referencing it's previous meanings and not the Nazi ones. Which seems naive lol.

Ironically being a nazi is still being a nazi. It's not going to make a difference what Ukrainians' intentions are. If they wear nazi/fascist insignia, Russians will happily kill them for free.
