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.

reddit-logo is very unhappy

Hasan is currently livestreaming with an actual Houthi terrorist (according to US Govt.)

this is levels of: "america bad" that I never thought possible plus the clout goblin brain, he's such a lolcow cringelord

Hasan asks Houthi pirate whether they watch One Piece

Yea idk, Hasan is cute-washing a literal terrorist on the biggest streaming platform. You can like or dislike Hasan, but he’s cute/funny-washing a terrorist to a young audience.

How long until he gets an Isis terrorist on stream to ask him whether he prefers Pokémon or Naruto?

repeating "terrorist" over and over again like a thought-terminating talisman, get fucked cracker

Ansar Allah are the legitimate government of Yemen and cannot be terrorists because they are state actors

even if they were they're doing it stop a genocide. these racists think political violence is only okay if you're a white landowner wearing a powdered wig in the 18th century

[–] aaaaaaadjsf@hexbear.net 49 points 2 years ago (2 children)

It's also the most burger brained zero history knowledge assertion, that a naval blockade = terrorism. Blockades have always been part of war. A naval blockade by the Union was part of defeating the Confederacy in the US civil war, yet you won't see burger brains calling Abraham Lincoln a terrorist.

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

blockades and sanctions used to be such an act of war that there was a bunch of hemming and hawing about sanctioning the actual nazis prior to the war actually starting.

now the US does that shit constantly and it's just us-foreign-policy whether it's acceptable to liberal assclowns.

[–] aaaaaaadjsf@hexbear.net 24 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Yeah Gaza has been under an Israeli blockade for over a decade, but that's absolutely fine according to the US

[–] AnarchoAnarchist@hexbear.net 16 points 2 years ago

Cuba has been under an American blockade for like 60 years.

Same technique as "woke" and "tankie".

We need to formalise this tactic in language and popularise it in order to drastically undercut its ability to be used. By formalising it as a bad thing (like fallacy shit) the libs and debatebros start calling it out when they see it. This way we could weaken its ability to be used considerably.

[–] emizeko@hexbear.net 7 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I 've encountered the term "thought-terminating cliché" a few times, that's the best I got off the top of my head and why I did a variation

[–] Awoo@hexbear.net 9 points 2 years ago

Yeah it's slowly popularising by itself, but I am not aware of this phrase being picked up by any orgs or academically yet. That's where we need to get it. We need some people to write about the phenomenon/tactic itself so that those articles can then be pointed to as sources for its existence, and then wiki and other shit can get made for it to further cement it as a recognised formal language thing. From that point onwards it's just a matter of repeatedly pointing to the articles and shit to spread it more and more and more. It'll take on a life of its own and considerably wreck the tactic.

I think this is actually really worthwhile doing as it's one of the most common tactics of the US information and thought control system.

Why do they talk like this? And if facilitating a genocide isn't enough to make America bad, then I guess these people really do just believe that America can never be bad.

[–] WithoutFurtherBelay@hexbear.net 36 points 2 years ago

usage of the term lolcow, outside of instances used to demean the term, should be punishable by death

Bro is defending the Navy from One Piece jokerfication

[–] GVAGUY3@hexbear.net 18 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Clearly haven't caught up with the manga

[–] reaper_cushions@hexbear.net 13 points 2 years ago

If you defend the Navy as an institution post Enies Lobby, you truly did not understand the story being told.

[–] zed_proclaimer@hexbear.net 15 points 2 years ago

Also doesn’t know what imperialist is.

[–] Hestia@hexbear.net 15 points 2 years ago (1 children)

"There are positive figures in the navy and and bad people in the navy"

Koby is a fucking lib and is literally best friends with a fascist. (Helmeppo)

[–] ClimateChangeAnxiety@hexbear.net 9 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Also if anything “good people in the Navy” just furthers the point that it’s a systemic evil and even good people can end up working in and supporting said system

[–] spacecadet@hexbear.net 6 points 2 years ago

Low key feel this idea is underrepresented on this site. Individuals are jack shit compared to the systemic mechanisms at play.

[–] aaaaaaadjsf@hexbear.net 39 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

The guy isn't a terrorist he's literally a teenager that made TikTok videos on a boat, he's probably hot even Houthi, lmao redditors are so racist any Arab = terrorist to them. By that definition, every chud or liberal who posts pictures of themself on Facebook with an AR-15 and supports the actions of the US government is a terrorist.

Also even if he was a Houthi militant, how is a naval blockade terrorism? Were Abraham Lincoln and the Union terrorists when they enforced a naval blockade against the confederacy to stop their cotton exports? Were the allies in WW2 terrorists for enforcing a blockade against Nazi Germany, Fascist Italy and Imperial Japan? Absolutely ridiculous assertion. Blockades have always been part of war.

[–] joaomarrom@hexbear.net 37 points 2 years ago (1 children)

levels of cope previously unheard of

[–] aaaaaaadjsf@hexbear.net 33 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

More like racism. War on terror propaganda really did a number on the zoomers and younger millenials, they think any Arab man = terrorist. These kids played too much call of duty and watched too many crappy American war movies, the propaganda has been internalised to the point they don't even realise it anymore. The propaganda is so entrenched that Israel had to commit literal genocide against Palestinians for the younger generations in the West to support the people of Palestine.

If this guy is a "terrorist", so is every American that supports the US government and has posed with a gun on social media, by their own logic.

[–] mayo_cider@hexbear.net 37 points 2 years ago (2 children)

I liked how Hasan tried to humanize the guy just as much as he tried to get a perspective on geopolitics, he's still a 19 years old kid

I saw some comments how he must be media trained because he mostly side-stepped personal questions and focused on "free Palestine", but these people have never talked to someone (especially a politically active teenager) with actual conviction

[–] Poison_Ivy@hexbear.net 31 points 2 years ago

Most redditors havent talked to anyone except other redditors and redditor-shaped people

[–] zed_proclaimer@hexbear.net 13 points 2 years ago

Also they were talking through a translator and some of the questions were probably lost

[–] Frogmanfromlake@hexbear.net 33 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Fuck the Destiny fans in that thread. Those people think listening to a divorced deadbeat dad from bumfuck Nebraska makes them political scholars.

[–] mayo_cider@hexbear.net 22 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Call me accelerationist, but I'd prefer if all Destiny/Vaush fans were all just average conservatives

The politics wouldn't change, but at least they'd be less annoying

[–] Frogmanfromlake@hexbear.net 14 points 2 years ago

Destiny's more or less is. Their talking points aren't all that different from what you'd hear on MSNBC or FOX.

[–] Alaskaball@hexbear.net 12 points 2 years ago

but I'd prefer if all Destiny/Vaush fans were all just average conservatives

They are though. They want to conserve the capitalist status quo bit with a few smiley face band-aids to keep the cracks sealed

[–] HumanBehaviorByBjork@hexbear.net 31 points 2 years ago

folx, is speaking to a citizen of a country under attack by the United States an example of "clout goblin brain"?

[–] Adkml@hexbear.net 29 points 2 years ago

God I hope America keeps losing footing on the global stage and the veil drops enough that people complaining about "America bad" are mercilessly dunked on for pointing out the obvious.

It's the "are we the baddies" meme but it's been happening for decades and they immeidatly reassure themselves they aren't.

[–] zed_proclaimer@hexbear.net 24 points 2 years ago (1 children)

The man he interviewed never confirmed they were Ansarallah officially or a fighter, and the “piracy” he did was going to a tourist attraction and posting a tiktok. He’s literally just a normal Yemeni. If he’s a “terrorist” then every single Yemeni person is

[–] WIIHAPPYFEW@hexbear.net 16 points 2 years ago (1 children)

If he’s a “terrorist” then every single Yemeni person is

I mean, that’s the case as far as the reddit-logo consensus thinks

[–] zed_proclaimer@hexbear.net 13 points 2 years ago

Sure but they should be called out for this racism and have it pointed out to them. They just all immediately assumed he was a “terrorist” because he’s from Yemen

[–] CyborgMarx@hexbear.net 20 points 2 years ago

I wish we had a platform from which we could brigade those fuckin racist dorks

[–] Alaskaball@hexbear.net 20 points 2 years ago

How long until he gets an Isis terrorist on stream

Why would he invite an Israeli freedom fighter on stream?

[–] SpiderFarmer@hexbear.net 12 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Fuck ISIS, but now I'm genuinely curious which they'd pick. Goddamnit.

[–] ClimateChangeAnxiety@hexbear.net 10 points 2 years ago

Right? I’m leaning Naruto. Pokemon is a bit too… innocent? I guess?

Incredible that he got an interview with this guy. Seems to just be a teenager that supports his countries government and poses with guns on social media sometimes. If chud and liberal Americans were less racist, they could probably relate a lot to that lol.

[–] GVAGUY3@hexbear.net 32 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Hes basically an adult. Not only is he of legal age; God knows what he experienced the past decade. War causes people to grow up fast

[–] aaaaaaadjsf@hexbear.net 26 points 2 years ago

Yeah, apparently he's gotten used to the bombings by Saudi Arabia, which is very sad.

[–] silent_water@hexbear.net 26 points 2 years ago (1 children)

his response to "what do you think of the fact that, in the US, many of the most prominent anti-zionist organizations are Jewish?" was awesome -- something to the effect of

I welcome anyone who fights for the liberation of Palestine to come to Yemen and have Khat with us

wish I were 20 and lacking in self-preservation so I could take him up on it

[–] CTHlurker@hexbear.net 6 points 2 years ago

Tbf "Come do drugs with me in a warzone" sounds like a Brace Belden bit, moreso than an interview with a guy on twitch.

[–] silent_water@hexbear.net 22 points 2 years ago
