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.

What's really shocking to me is that the Pentagon blocked the automatic mass murder war crime seawater pump machine

As absurd as it sounds, a conventional “war” with boots on the ground at least grants the perpetrators some sort of cover. If they killed the entire population with this method or with a nuke or something, they could no longer frame the genocide as a war between two standing armies. It would dispel any illusions that Israel is embattled or persecuted by the Palestinians and is only reacting to a threat. As dumb as that logic is, it is the veil of plausibility that the general public uses to willfully maintain their ignorance.

Also, flooding the earth with seawater makes the land harder to inhabit for settlers afterward, and could fuck up the water table in adjacent areas as well. This is likely the same reason Israel is reluctant to use nukes -- They want that land to be worth stealing at the end of the day.

To add to this, a huge part of the Israeli propaganda machine focused on Evangelicals leans heavily on the idea that Israel 'makes the deserts bloom' via magic irrigation techniques only white people could figure out so polluting the land specifically with sea water might be too bad a look for them on that front
