Just listened and imo this is some extremely effective anti-military propaganda, which I feel like many on the left don’t see the full importance of. Imagine being able to target the largest military in the world and take their soldiers (or potential soldiers) off the battlefield without any sort adventurism or even leaving your house. Seems like a pretty great thing in that context, right? Well this is basically what you’re doing when you successfully convince a teenager to avoid the military, or when you help a current soldier get themselves booted out. This is why I think countering military recruitment should be a higher priority than it typically is.

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 don't think this is just anti-military either, this is anti far-right and anti-incel.
I have not listened to the whole thing but the guy is promoting good healthy self-security, defeating insecurity, becoming a more full person. It feels somewhat close to a sort of Sartre thing.
Anyway at 7:48 his first point is what hexbear says about social media and his economic point is loosely marxist so yeah this dude is good.
Yeah I agree it covers those bases too, which of course there’s overlap between all of those things.
Oh shit I completely forgot about this guy. He used to be one of the biggest channels in nu-atheism sphere. Glad to see his politics improved
New Atheists: "let's take atheism but also be really fucking annoying"
"and sexist, for some reason"
And Islamophobic, can't forget about that.
"Actually scratch that, we're now evangelical Christians now! All the church needed to say is that as a heterosexual white man no restrictions actually apply to me and now I'm sold! After all, this is a sweet deal for me, no conflict of interest here!"
Also we're Catholics now, but hate the current church
Darkmatter is the goat, he's part of the old guard from the late 2000s like TJ Kirk but it's good to see that he didn't sell out.
I found a YouTube link in your post. Here are links to the same video on alternative frontends that protect your privacy:
