There's some mistakes, but she'll get better with time.

Bonus for the western libs in the comments being like "NOOOO, don't turn into muh tankie!!!" powercry-2

I want to put it out there that the way that trans people use the term egg to refer to people who haven't realised they're trans yet is just as applicable to soft-left people without a political education who have not yet realised they are actually communists.

I enjoy each and every one of these red egg cracking stories.

it's an ancient metaphor. we used to speak of someone "coming out of their shell". and not in the coming out sense either.

Trans eggs. Gays in the closet. Reds under the bed.

imperialist: Extending power and itnfluence (sic) through diplomatic or militaristic means

God fucking dammit. This shit drove me out of my local youth DSA chapter when a high ranking member said that all countries are imperialist besides DPRK and Cuba, suddenly telling me I'm a campist when I pushed back on their Russia Ukraine take that called for Russian soldiers to mutiny.

They ended it by telling me not to argue so much and get some sleep, though it was right before the afternoon. Notably they didn't respond to me saying that NK is now imperialist because they support SMO militarily.

They also did the classic "have you organized huh??? Do you think Russia will save the world?"

Left orgs here are all over the place from what I've seen (excluding PSL, I have little knowledge of their internal happenings relative to many other orgs, so don't want to comment on them).

They also did the classic "have you organized huh??? Do you think Russia will save the world?"

Reading this has shown me how bad I am at responding to bad faith from libs (American sense, this reads like their rhetoric), in particular, that shit triggers the hell out of me for some reason.

It triggered the hell out of me too, and it's so obvious it's a non-sequitor from the fact that they didn't know shit about Russian SMO outside of "anti-warism" and the "putinite agenda." Of course, "have you organized huh?" is some fed-jacketing shit considering this was on the org's discord chatroom. Not to mention that it's coated with ableist rhetoric because surprise surprise, not everyone can be a goody-two shoes tabling protest marshalling demsucc some of us have fucking lives we have to maintain and maybe a little modicum of respect for whatever theory we bring to the table would have been nice.

They would never admit that maybe they should look into Russian SMO or re-evaluate their position on it, just saying that it is "fruitless to argue against a campist." The lack of awareness is not what frustrates me (and led me to decide not joining the org) but the smugness of them saying that they were calling for a workers revolution and not for "equivalent" russian imperialism.

Also other members were engaging in denialism about the ethnic cleansing of russians in ukraine and the separatist civil war saying how "most leftists don't think this is happening" even after I linked resources on it. I didn't even know how to respond to "All countries are imperialist" because it's such a fascist armchair analysis that I expect to see on some ukraine flag palestine flag twitter bio or some shit.

PSL is generally more ideologically consistant because membership requires you to take a Marxism 101 course. They have classes that you MUST attend and discussion you are heavily encouraged to engage in before membership is ever in the question

Oh shit, I used to watch this YouTuber a few years back! It's been interesting watching her for years, since I was a teen, really. Interesting to see how her journey has been taking her

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.
