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 would you say on the Kent State Massacre where the Ohio National Guard opened fire on college protesters? What of the MOVE bombing in Philadelphia where cops dropped bombs on a residential street and allowed people to burn alive, the remains of some of the children being kept in a university storage until only recently. How many people woke up one night to the sound of their door being caved in only to be immediately shot for trying to defend themselves from a no knock warrant. The terrible forces of the US government terrorize us far more on a regular basis.

Just like GaveUp said, the use of the military made sense, the US has a long bloody history of interference in other nations' affairs. Look at all the coups the US had started in South America alone, how many despots and dictators were installed to allow US multinationals to pillage these nations as they murdered thousands. Were other socialist nations supposed to just lay down and not fight to keep the hard won victories?
