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.

That was a pretty cool move. Much cooler than the deportation, relocation, and execution of millions of peasants and ethnic minorities.
You're right, Stalin is a lot cooler than Churchill
Or maybe they were both shitty? Recognizing the atrocities that occurred under Stalin's rule doesn't make somebody an apologist for Western leaders, and that certainly wasn't what I was implying.
Don't mistake your opinion for everyone's here?
Do you believe in double genocide theory?
I'm psychically sending you images of the Weenis right now.
Note: The Weenis is a dance.
Note 2: Everybody is a genius who knows it in advance.

Thats my favorite town in burkina faso
Uncritically swallowing every bit of western propaganda demonizing the opponents of those western leaders does, though.
Stalin's government massively improved the living conditions of working-class people, stopped the Holocaust and the Lebensraum (and was the most consistent and early enemy of nazi Germany), and helped anti-colonial movements.
Yeah, nah, I can't call Stalin's government 'shitty'.
'Atrocities' such as guaranteed housing, guaranteed access to healthcare, liquidation of illiteracy (all consequences of planned economy, by the way), a massive increase of life expectancy, cessation of famines.
That's nazi propaganda, how do you feel about that?
executions were inside the party though, or did 'les purges' now intertwined with collectivization and ww2 ethnic deportations in your brain? cause directly deaths cause by stalin are not in millions range, they are around 1.5-2.5 (700k in purges, 800~2000 in deportations in totality (again debatable what is the attribution of ww2 to hard conditions, but sure). famine is very debatable to be caused by one man, deaths in prison never have been attributed to country leaders, or i would like obama death count to be amended by 30k dead prisoners.
leaving aside that, vietnam war killed two millions, people don't clutch their pearls over lbj or jfk fans, how come?
Even total executions included stuff like murder, banditry, SA etc
Not just explicitly "political" crimes like treason etc

Buddy, you could make a compelling case not to deify Stalin if you stuck to the facts. Deportations happened. Executions of millions of peasants is hilariously made up.
Yo can you just tell me what page of the Black Book? Just want to check your sources real quick
Correct, it is much cooler than the deportation, relocation, and execution of millions that your empire has been committing.
