There's a "great man" aspect to this conspiracy theory, just as with the HAARP conspiracy theory. They believe that one man, Bill Gates perhaps, or one facility, can cause these widespread climate effects. But they also believe that humans pumping billions of tons of CO2 can't, because that requires materialist analysis.

Obviously some of this is rooted in petrochemical propaganda but that propaganda really ties into the mental bedrock that already existed. Americans are primed to believe myths with the "correct" structure.

It's also interesting how all of the Epstein fury has stuck to Gates, while washing off Trump.

You see a mélange of all this sentiment in comment sections about ticks.

The whole "put it all on Bill Gates" thing is a good example of what I'm talking about with regards to not being able to discuss conspiracy theory on leftist forums. You end up with that shit.

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.
