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.

Not bad but Hasan is being too soft here. All of this is basic British soft-left stuff which we have in overwhelming abundance to be quite honest. He should be going further given that even the right wing audience of this channel is to the left of the average american liberal.

Only 39% of tory voters support Israel and only 9% of Labour voters support Israel. I suspect this is very different compared to US voters.

Man should have gone way harder to present an actually novel leftist case to a receptive audience.

to be fair to the rich guy that i don't even like (that's a hell of an opening), he is american, so he's probably operating on american assumptions

Yeah I mean, he's probably not even aware that JC is being attacked for refusing to condemn Hamas which is probably a good barometer for how different it is here. The americans would have an apoplectic fit over that whereas here it's all rather meh, the potential for going harder is there, honestly the main barrier is actually how some of Hasan's audience might react rather than the BBC's.

fair
was kinda an eye-opener for me when i became more online in the pandemic that "apolitical" in america meant "solid dem voter" as opposed to "i don't vote because everyone running is a dickhead" like it is here

"Why do you get more views than I do?"

"COMMUNISM" lets-fucking-go

Hasan started out by by commending BBC for being objective in some of their recent coverage that they're being criticized for by Zionists and their allies, maybe he was trying to reward that

The floundering news media now desperate to have twitch streamers come on to spice their lives up, admitting that they get less views than a radical communisttrump-anguish

gotta say, respect for his stance not softening under pressure

[–] supafuzz@hexbear.net 39 points 2 years ago (2 children)

he deals with a chat full of the world's dumbest libs all day, every day. what's a single TV presenter next to that

[–] Galli@hexbear.net 30 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Hard stance can result in flak from the presenter or the audience. Softening stance could help get further invitations to the show, repeat exposure leading to appearances on other mainstream programs and perhaps eventually entry into the lucrative club of being a talking head. This is one of the filters in the Herman-Chomsky propaganda model.

Ironic really, he could save others from taking the easy bag but not himself. chomsky-yes-honey

Only thing I wish he said was then asked why he has a big audience is a reply along the lines of "because I analyse issues through the lens of dialectical materialism". Just throw out an academic term for the boomers. Other option is to straight up say he's anti-imperialist, or a communist or marxist. I don't think there's any point in saying that he offers some unique perspective crap because everyone says that
