Rumble is an Right-Wing Platform you should use Tankie Tube instead

That is where African Stream is. That is why I shared it from there.

It's got a lot of right wing users, and that's what most of the content there is like, definitely, but I wouldn't call it strictly right wing. Unlike youtube, there isn't really any censorship, for better or for worse, which means you can upload leftist stuff there as well.

I remember during the Pro Palestinian protests during the DNC in Chicago recently, Rumble actually had some streams from the protests pinned and featured on the frontpage, you'd never see that on youtube, for example.

Sadly a Tankie Tube popular user only has like 10-20 followers but still, Idk if there is any left-wing content on Rumble do you have a link?

I follow Richard Medhurst on there, as he has a channel there which I'd much rather watch than on Youtube.

Also, OP posted AfricanStream, which is another decent example

I think quite a few leftist creators have backup accounts on rumble and stream/upload on both youtube and rumble. Richard Medhurst was already mentioned, Danny Haiphong also has a rumble channel with like 5k followers. I'm sure with the crackdown on red and AfricaStream more leftist creators will start looking for alternatives and Rumble is probably their best option as of now, although I understand that the predominance of far-right content there gives it weird vibes, to put it mildly.

There is literally no evidence that the Olmecs were Afrians. This is a conspiracy theory long since debunked.
There is no evidence that any African explorers ever reached the Americas before Columbus.
