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.

This is something that definitely feels like is happening. A LOT of teachers have quit and are quitting because of Covid and its consequences. There’s no way that doesn’t lead to more privatization and home schooling where crazy chuds start raising their kids like “proud patriots” or whatever.

It's been the plan for like 100 years, no joke.

Ever since the formation of public schooling in the US libertarians and Christians have been trying to tear it apart.

In the beginning public schooling was extremely popular due to obvious reasons. Parents generally want to see their kids get educated and do better than them in life. So the dissenting voices were ignored easily.

Since the 1960s up until today (the end of segregation- classic American moment for people to lose their shit) it's been a simmering subject. COVID and just broadly the last decade or so seems to be pushing it into a full boil.

They're smart enough to not openly push for abolishing education (usually) and that's why they push for state sponsored school vouchers which shifts funding from public -> private.

Yeah seeing the death of public school in real time is fucking wild. Especially the school voucher shit, it’s like watching the 2008 economic crisis as a Marxist and saying “WHOA DO NOT DO THAT OH MY GOD” but for public education.

being a Marxist is like being the only one who knows fire safety at an indoor fireworks show and no one listening to you.
