Good video from Rare Earth. A few other ones I've seen were good, others felt like a smart guy doing tourism. ~~I didn't realise that he was a leftist, but he seems to take the mask off here.~~

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.

He is not a leftist
He is a liberal. Not the absolute worst kind of liberal, but definitely a liberal.

Fair enough, I edited by comment.
The vibe felt really off in his previous videos. Also like, how the fuck do you have the income to travel to every country?
Thanks for the education. Fucking Youtubers.
I should have phrased that in a less accusatory way. I just meant to be matter-of-fact, no need to edit anything. But yeah....
He's the son of an astronaut, so its not like he's just a grifter taking cash to promote a viewpoint (though I'm sure Rare Earth makes money at this point), the whole family seems to be on the wealthy side (enough to fly planes for fun at least), and obv his dad was a fighter pilot before becoming an astronaut, so like, a cold war era military brat. He goes interesting places and talks about interesting stuff, a lot of the time anyhow, but his politics... ugh

I don't think so. Honestly your phrasing was fine.
Good background story. I didn't know where he came from.
What a blood boiling video. A perfect little island size microcosm of the evils of capitalism and imperialism.
I found a YouTube link in your post. Here are links to the same video on alternative frontends that protect your privacy:
