I guess flooding every social media platform with misogynistic propaganda has worked pretty well

[-] [email protected] 30 points 1 year ago

Tried to use Tiktok a while back, had to stop after a week because once the algorithm "realized" I was a man it would not stop sending me Joe Rogan clips, thirst traps of young women, and other incredibly misogynist (and racist, and any other sort of reactionary) content. It was pretty fucking heinous. Lasering that into young minds that can't defend themselves is a deeply upsetting crime against humanity.

[-] [email protected] 18 points 1 year ago

YouTube shorts is the same, no matter how many times you try to filter it out, you get that kind of shit, or daily wire propaganda. It's incessant

[-] [email protected] 12 points 1 year ago

I never got that with TikTok, but youtube shorts is almost always trying to feed me some right wing bullshit. My TikTok on the other hand is almost all trans women and stuff like makeup tutorials (and some cute pups), and it was like this was long before I realized I was trans.

[-] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago

Tbh I don't use tiktok much, just to open links people send.

[-] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

That might be why some people are having issues with TikTok. You do have to train it a bit, but once you like a few videos it will start to shift. I think that’s part of the reason why TikTok got so popular in the first place, since it really does get good at providing what you want to see the more you use it.

Yes it so much worse. Even if it's not all that shit, it won't stop feeding me annoying John Green videos no matter how many times I tell it to stop lol

My tiktok feed is almost nothing but Palestinians begging for their lives.

[-] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

I wasn't involved in leftist politics at the time but even still I kept blocking/telling TikTok to stop sending me these videos and it would just never stop

[-] [email protected] 24 points 1 year ago

Seriously, I have a roommate who is ostensibly a nice guy, never says anything sexist/racist or whatever, and our living situation involves a Black/indigenous woman. But I hear him listening to TikToks all the time that are just the most vile misogynist or weirdly tradtional viewpoints ("women, if you make dinner but your husband don't like it, what do you do as a good wife?" etc). I feel like he's probably not even choosing these toks, they're just unavoidable.

[-] [email protected] 31 points 1 year ago

I feel like he's probably not even choosing these toks, they're just unavoidable.

My TikTok feed is full of communists, he's engaging with the content, and it's responding in kind.

[-] [email protected] 12 points 1 year ago

swear to god tho your algo gets reset every so often if you engage with commie content regularly. my fyp will be good for like a week then all of a sudden its back to liberal/fascist content till i retrain the fuckin thing

[-] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

They have to keep testing their users with potential new content they may start liking so that the app stays new and refreshing and people keep coming back

In a communist utopia, if you wanted to watch trashy social media garbage while you take the train home after a long day you should be forced to hunt for it in one big alphabetical directory that looks like mid-‘90s Yahoo. Recommendation algorithms are inherently reactionary and after the revolution they must be abolished.

[-] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago

Nah, just replace the current algorithms with ones that boost commies and suppress and ban reactionaries.

[-] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

ban reactionaries but fuck algorithms

content is so homogenous at the moment

[-] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Your dissent has been recorded, and will be addressed after the revolution

[-] [email protected] 9 points 1 year ago

The sad thing is, you try pointing this out and they call you crazy, and then say the nebulous thing they call "the left" controls social media and media in general. We're so fucked.

[-] [email protected] 41 points 1 year ago

white dudes supporting reactionary ideologies that maintain their unequal privilege? Color me surprised

[-] [email protected] 32 points 1 year ago

This has literally never happened before. Who could have seen this coming?

[-] [email protected] 37 points 1 year ago

7 minutes in and these guys are like "unlimited genocide on the first world, unironically it's time for purges, kill everyone in the right, etc etc" lmao

[-] [email protected] 23 points 1 year ago

I thought you were exaggerating. I know it's a small channel, but holy shit I didn't think you could say something that blunt and not get blackholed by some automated NSA algorithm.

[-] [email protected] 17 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Like 200 views in 6 hours and half of them are likely from here. They aren't worth the effort to even look into suppressing.

This comment section is larger than the comment section of their video.

[-] [email protected] 12 points 1 year ago

Wdym... I had to listen to a lot of the video just to hear something like... "chopping up racists and feeding them to the pigs isn't a good law" and other redacted-1 redacted-2 things...

[-] [email protected] 9 points 1 year ago

Starting at 7 minutes with guy on the left:

I have my threshold - you're right though, you're right, I have my threshold, and my wife will tell you I'm the first to say that we need to bring back some kind of massive purge of people that don't need to exist anymore, not just even limited to violent criminals but really people who think that it's okay to put themselves above others, right, people who just totally ignore the fact that other people exist. A-and are biologically uh inept from empathizing with other people and let say "Well they're poor, they're homeless it's their fault" people like that, yeah, should be executed, but like you said, re-education, right, before we through the hammer down, we got to give it a shot. I - look - and that's why I say I open my doors, you come in, you have a conversation, and if by the end of it that I'm convinced that you're unsalvageable? Then off to the woodchipper you go. In my book. That's-

Followed by guy on the right:

And that's why it's funny to me because you say that even like the libertarian and the chuds and everybody are redeemable, and I'm over here saying "no american is redeemable".

[-] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Not shooting the messenger, but I feel the guy shouldn't ruminate much on purging and killing...

If I were him, I'd just say:

You either get shot or you're free and with me, no compromises like prison or re-education...

[-] [email protected] 33 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

idk if y'all ever get glimpses into the culture of 16-27 year old men on your tiktok but it's incredibly bleak

all of the content creators they watch are very anti-social. They use poor people as entertainment - shitty annoying pranks, paying people to be a zoo animal in some degrading gameshow, humiliating them in interviews or other crap, constantly reacting to "abnormal" people by bullying them for laughs

They teach men how to become a fuckboi and drown by being manipulative and vapid (appearing to have high social status, flexing wealth) instead of just being a good person

[-] [email protected] 15 points 1 year ago

Sounds like "reality TV" but even worse doomer

[-] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago

I used tiktok for like a month and all i had was rez guys getting excited about grocery store fried chicken and making fun of some of the clapped out cars you would see in driveways. Thankfully, the app is too annoying and too fast for my mind.

This explains their obsession with “leftist” white women being offended or upset by bigotry.

[-] [email protected] 19 points 1 year ago

About 2m in:

France - men are more likely to support Marine Le Pen's far-right National Rally while women vote left

And then the host says they just got into power lmao. No, the left-wing coalition won, the right-wing coalition did worse than expected. And men and women voted equally, at least in the first round. Instead it came down to age and occupation. Why are they discussing something they haven't investigated?

[-] [email protected] 20 points 1 year ago

WTF is this podcast... This should be in dunk tank not videos.

3m40: Maternal instincts? What.

4m50: Omg he wants a broad tent that includes bigots. No, do political struggle and education.

5m20: I will talk with Adolf Hitler, he says brow

6m40: They are now saying said bigots are subhuman and that it's OK for them to die. Which like, OK go off but please pick one.

7m50: OK guy on the left is synthesizing these ideas by being pro-reeducation. Real.

8m: Guy on the right wants to kill all Americans ok lmao

12-13m: (paraphrasing) "Women are better at serving because of sociological conditioning.... no actually it's also because their brains are different..." bruh-moment "I'm a rabid feminist that thinks there are significant biological differences in the brain" centrist

13m40: Casually transphobic remark about putting on a dress and "tucking your wiener"

14m: Says all creatures with a central nervous system should be treated equally. vegan-liberation

17m30: Now they're being racist????

25m: Transitional healthcare misinformation

All offense: These two are idiots who are just uttering their stream of consciousness instead of doing research and thinking before they talk. Some "political analysis." pathetic

[-] [email protected] 9 points 1 year ago

Yeah the whole time I'm going between thinking they have a decent opinion on some small point and then it derails and flips to something stupid. I feel like they had transphobic transinclusive opinions(?). I couldn't tell if it was a bit at first since I've never seen these people before. I kept wondering if their opinion of "cut off your dick or whatever I don't care you do you" was their serious position.

Overall they'll probably spend less time in the reducation camps than a lot of other people but they'll still be in there.

[-] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago

transphobic transinclusive opinions(?).

What you get when you agree trans people can exist but don't do any of the reading or listening

[-] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Agreed 100%, too bad because it's always funny when an american says death to america.

[-] [email protected] 16 points 1 year ago

The green parties are barely left aren't they, you're basically just getting gender-specific right wing parties. One that's like city-business capitalist and one that's more extractive capitalist.

[-] [email protected] 11 points 1 year ago

Piketty wrote a book about voting tendencies in medium long term, and everywhere on earth this is becoming a more and more pronounced distinction, which didn't exist in the past.

[-] [email protected] 9 points 1 year ago

Unironically shit like this makes me question if I'm "really" a guy at all. Like, I am not going to vote for the deaths of a bunch of "undesirables" just because it's "cool", or I think it's funny. Yet I am by far in the minority here. Like, am I just trans or something and this is a sign that's the case?

[-] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago

but do you watch sports on tv?

[-] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Not necessarily, it just means you have empathy and are not a total shitbag.

[-] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

I found a YouTube link in your post. Here are links to the same video on alternative frontends that protect your privacy:

Is it weird that this heading causes gender-euphoria?

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.
