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.

Holy shit these callers.

my dad organized with the communists at the YMCA but under communism he wouldn't have had that freedom that capitalism affords him

are you funded by the communist party of Russia?

the only way to solve global warming is by putting a giant dome over the USA. I

C-span does this same call-in show every morning, 7 days a week. The callers behave like this pretty much every day.

I don't watch it every day but it's a guilty pleasure. Hearing the unhinged beliefs of many Americans is sometimes entertaining.

Frankly, when you go to protests as a socialist or communist, you get all sorts of unhinged questions LMAO

[–] Crowtee_Robot@hexbear.net 18 points 5 months ago

It's one of the purest call-in shows out there.

I used to watch it all the time. Closest thing left to unhinged public tv

Putting a giant Simpsons dome over the USA is probably a net good though tbh

Yes but you might come down with a case of Spaceballs constantly trying to replace their air.

[–] NephewAlphaBravo@hexbear.net 4 points 5 months ago (1 children)

You really shouldn't bother replacing our air

big-honk what freedom exactly is that?

[–] SacredExcrement@hexbear.net 9 points 5 months ago

And it's CSPAN, so you're not getting the truly unhinged reactionaries out there

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

I'm used to it lol
