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 keeps it a yearly staple of our media diets is simply its sheer utility in destroying international proletarian solidarity with China, and so safeguarding the stability of bourgeois rule in the West.

Quite likely right here, but my position is rather than suppress knowledge of it like the Chinese government wants, all authoritarian atrocities should be equally talked about.

But China does talk about it. A lot. There are MANY studies done, by journalists and historians, talking in details about what happened (even the student deaths).

There were even western journalists there, reporting live. Many had to publicly denounce the newspapers they wrote or reported for for manipulating and distorting the truth.
