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.

So? The idea that we just kill bad people in order to make the world good again is literally what moves this world into madness

The state of the world is violent and oppressive and profoundly unjust. Violence is systematically used by the powerful against the powerless. Categorically renouncing violence will only allow the present state to continue.

Liberation and equality have never been won without at least the clear and present threat of violence. Power concedes nothing without a demand, the rich will never allow you to vote their affluence away, a riot is the language of the unheard, etc.

You can dislike violence and also see a specific, principled, and limited use of it as a necessity to move to a better world. If you claim to dislike violence but in practice mostly oppose the revolutionary violence done by the underclass, you make yourself a useful idiot for the powerful, and in effect you throw your lot in with the oppressors.

You haven't said anything I would disagree with, yet you are wrong. Y'all are cheering not a revolutionary violence
