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.

Some highlights:
at 24m: Hasan says that Trump's policies in Israel such as moving the capital to Jerusalem and Abraham Accords caused Oct 7 to happen. AOC seemingly agrees and nods along.
at 29m: Hasan brings up the point that Democrats don't pass enough regulations to combat inflation. AOC talks about targeting Ticketmaster.
at 32m: Hasan criticizes the Democrats for adopting Trump's border policy. He says that Democrats should not accept the right wing framing of the border. He says that Democrats are legitimizing the Republicans. They spend like 10 minutes talking about how immigrants need an easier path to citizenship and how undocumented labor is used a tier system to suppress wages of all workers.
at 43m: Hasan criticizes Trump for throwing out the Iran de-nuclearization agreement.
at 47m: Hasan criticizes Joe Biden for running on reversing Trump's border policies and then never doing it. AOC seemingly agrees and says we can't beat Trump by using his polices and that Democrats need their own vision of a border policy.
at 54m: Donald Trump pauses his speech because someone in the crowd at the Trump rally is having a medical emergency. Hasan calls it a "massive L" to have a medical emergency at a Trump rally.
at 73m: Hasan criticizes the Democrats for accepting the right wing framing on the crime panic during the mid term election. He says that police lied about being defunded and were never defunded. AOC brings up Walgreens. Hasan talks about how the Walgreens CFO lied by saying that Walgreens locations had to be shutdown because of shoplifting. He says that Democrats accepting right wing framing is always devastating.
at 87m: AOC says that she is out of time and has to leave. What is surprising here is that she doesn't try to promote Joe Biden or Democrats at all. Never says vote for Biden. I thought she would. She does say that she wants to help Hasan raise money for Palestinian aid. Hasan mentions a fundraising campaign called "Creators for Palestine".

You have Hasan, (who has fundraised, educated, and donated for Palestine), alongside a politician who has repeatedly voted in favor of additional bombs and missiles to kill Palestinians.

Do I really want to watch an hour plus interview with someone that's shown herself to be a massive lib? Do I hate myself enough to do it? Eh, I'll think about it.

at 29m: Hasan brings up the point that Democrats don't pass enough regulations to combat inflation. AOC talks about targeting Ticketmaster.

I might just watch this part though. Like, really? Targeting Ticketmaster is the major victory she wants to hoist up as a way of dealing with inflation?

I mean Americans do love their treats...

Regulating Ticketmaster may only be a small victory but it has massive popularity among normal people, which is why I included it in the highlights. Normal people who go outside like to attend concerts. Ticketmaster has a monopoly on concert tickets and is known for hidden fees and jacking up ticket prices. Regulating Ticketmaster would be highly popular. I am doubtful that Democrats will actually accomplish this in a meaningful way.

I watched that part because it just seemed so ridiculous. She talks about the FTC and anti-trust policy. Which is about as milquetoast as expected from her.

There was once a post here criticizing a comrade for using the pejorative limp-wristed, and how that's a negative euphemism for gay men.

Our comrade corrected themselves. That is extremely cool, and the best way to react to criticism.

If he had some courage he'd ask her why she voted yes on giving Israel more munitions

I first read the title as hasan talking about aoc with trump, and frankly I'd be far more likely to watch that video

That's happening on the Hank Pecker stream.

I thought the stated reason was because of the violence israelis did to worshippers at the Al Aqsa mosque during one of the holidays the year before.

The violent clashes at Al Aqsa Mosque goes back to at least 2014. There was violent clashes at the Al Aqsa mosque before Trump's presidency but Trump's policies made the violence at the mosque even worse.

Shit I remember them in 03 when Sharon kicked off the second intifadah by going to Al Aqsa to provoke it

[–] [email protected] 3 points 5 months ago

In the video, Donald Trump says that if he had been elected president in 2020, then October 7 would have never happened. This is obviously an absurd claim. Many of Donald Trump's policies on Israel increased the amount of violence and cruelty that Palestinians were subjected to and increased tensions in the region. Some examples: moving the US embassy to Jerusalem, not including Palestinians in the Abraham Accords, assassinating Qasem Soleimani, etc. In the article from 2020 that I linked, Palestinians say that Donald Trump's policies prevent them from accessing the Al Aqsa Mosque.

Obviously it is not entirely Trump who is responsible for October 7. He is partially responsible. Donald Trump escalated the violence against Palestinians at Al Aqsa Mosque. Hamas named the October 7 attack as 'Al Aqsa Flood' after the Al Aqsa Mosque. To my best knowledge, the name was a reference to the on going violence against Palestinians at the Al Aqsa Mosque, not one specific day as the other user had said. As you mention, the violence against Palestinians at the Al Aqsa Mosque goes back a long time.

And the 70 years of continuum genocide too.

I mean yeah, that's just a given about the resistance existing as a whole

Piers Morgan’s nose started bleeding as this was happening live. No one knows why.
