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.

Like the thing I don't get is, Briahna has to have known this was going to happen.

It's happened so many times to so many other people.

I'm not saying that she shouldn't criticize Israel, but like, what was her plan?

Uh, plan? What was Chomskys plan with manufacturing consent, Julian assanges plan with releasing the nissar square massacre footage

It's being a real journalist which in our time is so inherently shocking. Integrity. That's the word I was looking for

When you grab the tiger, your plan is to hold on for as long as you can.

Brianna is legit

I've always thought so, but you'd be surprised how many in this sub have unironically called her a grifter. I've seen it many times here.

Here's one example I found real quick: https://hexbear.net/post/235686?scrollToComments=false

They are grifters... and are in the orbit of most of the grifter greats including but not limited to Jimmy Dore, Max Blumenthal, Briahna Joy Gray, Glenn Greenwald, Jackson Hinkle

Here's another just in case someone says "oh it's only one example you found": https://hexbear.net/comment/2720901

I feel like she's been in the grift zone since the Bernie campaign ended

Finally here's a third just for good measure: https://hexbear.net/comment/2957658

Lol of course Briahna Joy Gray is doing this. I mean, I'm a little surprised at Useful Idiots without Matty T is doing this shit, but goddamn is it just abunch of post-Bernie grifters.

There are idiots everywhere, but that doesn't mean we should repost them.

Also why not subscribe to her Patreon and share her insights instead of mentioned those hasbara asshats? I'm serious. We are in an information war. You gonna side with the genociders or stand up for the goddamn truth

I think it's important to highlight that even us here (hexbear, lemmygrad, etc.) can fall into the trap of quickly judging someone and passing immediate moral judgment without looking at all the other stuff a person does/says. I've listened to her more chill podcast where she talks with people who call in (it's called The Debrief) as well as a decent number of Bad Faith episodes. I get that she worked during the day at the Hill, a right wing media source, but how many leftists have been seen on other "not leftist" media sources such as RT, Al Jazeera, etc. I get the sense that she is definitely more than a "western leftist" and is quite anti-imperialist.

The early days of her youtube stuff had her come off as a bit too centrist and I fell away from trying to keep up with her content.

Glad she's being a bit more forceful with her opinions these days.
