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.

We can dunk on the 2A USA Dome women all we want, but honestly, she seemed very genuine to me. She's obviously riddled with right wing induced anxieties, but when she said, "If you're gonna say we're taking all the guns, sure I'd give mine up, but..." it surprised me a little. She sounds like the kind of person who, if her fears could be dispelled, would be open to changes and reforms around the 2A. The only thing keeping her in this mindset is this fantasy that she'll get shot by some gangbanger. There is no way to know what percentage of the population she represents, but it's interesting nonetheless.
Her comments on the "US Dome" were clearly one of defeatist sarcasm because again, her position was rooted in this fear that China is doing nothing and will never do anything. Obviously, WE know that's not the case, but she clearly has no one casting a light on that shadow for her. She doesn't think we should literally build a dome, she is using this extreme example of "the only thing we can do" to solve the issue because it's clear that she also believes "no one else is doing, or going to do, anything about climate change".
There was no climate denial on her part, there was no "from my gold dead hands" rhetoric on guns. Just pure fear and defeatism.
honestly the actual rising up is usually done by a minority. even then knowing the truth and being a good person can count as a way of rising up. sometimes you don't need to be a full time activist.
people just need to not be actively misinformed. we tend to focus on the overt shitty fascists but most people just want to find a solution for their problems and are tired of being lied to. most people tend to be actually good people, the few shitty ones are the ones ruining it all for the rest of us.
It's just the bar is that low.
