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.

I get that CPUSA has some bad reputation. This clip is a part of a call-in show. It features 4-5 calls from American hogs and the CPUSA guy responds to their questions. I think that this interview was interesting at least. I will post more information in a comment.

I'm aware.

My own District Organizer (he's in his 80s) was harassed by FBI agents well into the 1990s and 2000s, at least.

Also, it's quite well-known by this point that I'm in the CPUSA. I've said this multiple, multiple times on Hexbear.

Many PSL and CPUSA and FRSO members announce their respective organizations online, especially on Twitter.

Yeah I know part of being a member of PSL is also being open with being a member like online and stuff? I think so anyway, I'm not a member and it's just one of those things I've heard

It is and it isn't. When you are in the work place, or for some other strategic/tactical/safety reasons, some members may not disclose their membership in some situations. But in general, when PSL organizers are organizing in the community or with other groups/community members we don't typically hide our membership. In general, there is a feeling that the time is right to openly show who we are and what we stand for, to present ourselves in a forthright way to the people, and to encourage the masses of people to be unafraid of organizing and participating in politics, particularly revolutionary politics and anything that would expand their understanding of democratic participation beyond bourgeois politics/voting.

I agree.

It's the same with CPUSA and FRSO, at least.

We want to be more open.

CPUSA still tends to err on the side of caution and not reveal certain names or memberships of certain people.

Even then... It's been tending toward openness. In Pennsylvania, we were featured in several news outlets over our confrontation and protesting of the Moms for Liberty action in, I believe, Philadelphia.

Okay, I didn't know you weren't a member, but all the PSL members I've seen on Hexbear and Twitter are quite open about it. Especially Reddit.

Can't see the reply whenever I click it.

I blocked her a while back because I felt like we were getting into too many fights and arguments.

Yes, she's apart of PSL.

Edit: If it's a reply to me, then I'll unblock her, ig

capitaldcolon So much for the tolerant left

[–] Pluto@hexbear.net 6 points 5 months ago

Trust me, I'm the intolerant left, if anything. Also, hi.

Wait that's what is happening if a reply keeps loading? I always thought that was a glitch
