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.

Sicko was released in 2007. This is where the American people were right before Obama was elected on a for a good part a healthcare mandate which he sold out the first day to Romneycare, a Republican plan which is now known as Obamacare or the ACA.

Yup, I remember this movie. As silly as it is, I think Micheal Moore helped stear me away from the right. Because even though my family is all very right-wing, I caught these movies when I was very, very young. I think I saw Bowling for Columbine when I was like 10. He may be a lib, but he details what is wrong about America on a systemic level in a easy to understand and entertaining way, which I think is good for educating "non-political" types.

a classic example of a guy whose personal takes and political strategy is often wrong and bad but whose formal, edited work stands on its own. this doc is basically framed as agitprop even.

This one is a very good one. The end where he takes the 9/11 responders to Cuba is extremely powerful propaganda

seeing this, i am amazed no one shot one of these health insurance ceos sooner. sometimes people around me ask why i'm uninterested in a formal autism diagnosis given that recognizing myself as autistic informs much of my worldview. within my short lifetime, you could get told to fuck off and die by insurer's just for being autistic. it's really no wonder that my mother is seemingly psychologically incapable of improving her mental model of autism sufficiently to recognize the same patterns within herself: for almost her entire adult life, that was the kind of thing that meant you were going to get denied having health insurance. and really, no wonder so many older doctors obsessively tell you to lose weight; it's one thing today when preexisting conditions don't exist but if all my fat patients just kept getting murdered by insurance, i too would probably eventually become bigoted about the effects of weight on health. not much worse a health outcome than watching someone die from something that could have been prevented.
