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.

Please don’t characterize Chinese people as confused or unaware of outside countries.

I'm not accusing the Chinese people of anything. I'm saying it's possible they were victimized.

The protests happened in 1989. By that time Mao had been dead for 13 years, diplomatic ties to the west had long since been established, and emigration was at an all time high. The first KFC was opened in China in 1987, two years before the protests.

You just described the external exposure that had previously been denied to the people, victimizing them.

And I did give you two examples of the US military being used against American civilians. Kent State and the 1967 Detroit riots. Both instances had soldiers firing automatic rounds into crowds.

Whataboutism -- One country harming people does not justify it for another country. I'd never heard of the 67 Detroit riots, I neither not condone them nor Kent State.

I don't think you're engaging in good faith at all, sorry. I'm out.
