I just thought the title/thumbnail was hilarious given the channel. I'll get back to you on whether alabamaboy has gone commie (he hasn't)

Edit: 5min in - sounds like the classic "Capitalism is good it just has to be regulated" or whatever

Edit2: Most of this is him talking about manufacturing something in the USA, but skip to 34:05 for his extremely simplistic attempt to articulate... some kind of point about capitalism and business.

He's trying a more explicitly sinophobic thumbnail too, very revealing as to the ideological content:

The whole premise of the video series is "I'm trying to manufacture a BBQ scrubber in the US with US-made parts because I'm a big time patriot and local jobs and self-reliance, we can't have everything come from China". He throws this thesis out of the window when he tries to import some of the components from India and then discards them because they're actually from China and just repackaged in India. He's overtly showing that his actual aim is not local manufacturing, it's just avoiding China, as he wouldn't have an issue using Canadian or Indian manufacturers. Just anticommunist propaganda disguised as self-reliance.

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.
