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.

executions were inside the party though, or did 'les purges' now intertwined with collectivization and ww2 ethnic deportations in your brain? cause directly deaths cause by stalin are not in millions range, they are around 1.5-2.5 (700k in purges, 800~2000 in deportations in totality (again debatable what is the attribution of ww2 to hard conditions, but sure). famine is very debatable to be caused by one man, deaths in prison never have been attributed to country leaders, or i would like obama death count to be amended by 30k dead prisoners.

leaving aside that, vietnam war killed two millions, people don't clutch their pearls over lbj or jfk fans, how come?

Even total executions included stuff like murder, banditry, SA etc

Not just explicitly "political" crimes like treason etc
