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.

The man really knew about the struggles of racial injustice and its ties to things like capitalism firsthand. R.I.P. to this legend.

It's a shame more people don't know about this, just another person to have their revolutionary politics scrubbed from the history books. Rest in peace.

An unrelated person, but interesting nonetheless, Nikola Tesla. He never outright said he was a socialist, but is on the record saying things like:

The only positive thing in this century is the Russian revolution and the creation of the Soviet Union

I approve of the Russian revolution because it proclaimed the principle of honesty on one-sixth of the Earth's surface

The Russians are lucky - they have socialism and Stalin. A happy people with a wise leader. I envy the Russians and feel sorry for my compatriots who are ruled by three random people

I would be very happy if Stalin visited the United States. I have a great desire to meet him, but my health does not allow me to make such a long journey

Tupac was how I got into communism. I didn't listen to much rap growing up but started, in college, with the greats Tupac and Biggie. Now here I am. Hexbear poster.
