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.

I think explaining things in detail is good, actually.

Short version: Colonization and ICJ rulings produced disputed territory between the two countries. Both countries are controlled by two rich capitalist families, respectively. There was a minor border skirmish with one casualty and no evidence regarding who started shooting, and this began to be used by each family as a causus belli, taking various escalatory measures until there started to be overt military attacks, again with no agreement about "who started it". 32 people have died so far. Luna speculates that the militaries of one or both countries (Thailand's has much more independent power, while Cambodia's is more integrated into the executive branch) are stoking this for the sake of their own power. She is very careful to speak equally of each country and says that this is a reactionary war where the best outcome and the only one anyone should seek is peaceful resolution.

Yeah but you can do that without a long ass video where either I can speed it up and listen to a chipmunk voice or I can sit there as a person plods through information that they could have simply written down

Thx for the summary btw
