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.
i mean sharpening of debate pervertry in the sense that the "empathy" being sought fundamentally consists of debating whether or not certain groups of people have human rights, not in the sense of actually becoming better at formal debate tactics. that's nerd shit for nerds, like destiny, and not of interest to the general population. i agree though that to whatever extent there is a call for empathy it's a call for empathizing with fascism, not just individual fascists. part of this inroad though is by performing the act of putting increasingly depraved ideas up for debate. they also want money though, as a for-profit company, so to some extent they're motivated simply by that. ultimately, i would say that they are very much an incarnation of a zen, enlightened centrist strain of fascist normalizing and propagandizing.
"Though" is negative here, but I don't see the contradiction. It's precisely the method of "empathizing" with fascism to normalize these depraved views by presenting them as though they belong in the same conversation as "should we give poor people food?"
"though" was only referring to your disagreement about the phrase "sharpening debate pervertry" not negative to the broader point. we're entirely in agreement about everything but that small semantic point about particular language.
Oh, okay, my bad. I don't think it's very worthwhile to fuss about language when it's a coinage of one of the present speakers (rather than trying to interpret what a third party said). I think "sharpening" is usually associated with "refining," so it might be better to say "inflame" or something, but you can say whatever you like and I don't think it's productive to challenge your phrasing beyond mentioning what I just now mentioned.
