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.

@19:38 when the senator is defending her vote for the Iron Dome.

Slotkin: There is a difference between a weapon to protect a country from incoming missiles vs. other—offensive and defensive weapons are different.

I rolled my eyes and thought "yeah, right—like she would support defensive weapons for Russia (but they won't say that)".

But Krystal read my fucking mind!

Krystal: I also reject that because, for example, if, Senator Slotkin, you were asked to support defensive weapons for Iran, defensive weapons for Russia, you wouldn't back that! monke-ruserious

Slotkin: No, but... Iran... I mean... but... morshupls

Krystal: They're defensive! They're just protecting civilians, right? How is it different? tito-laugh

Slotkin: Because israel is being shot at! kitty-cri-screm

Krystal & Sagaar (together): So is Iran! So is Russia! ligma-1 ligma-2

Why isn't this the standard line of questioning all lib journalists do?

lib journalists

You're asking questions about the shirt answered by the shirt.

The purpose of "defensive" and "less than leathal" weapons is to permit the use of violence with impunity.

Also defensive weapons can be used offensively and vice versa.

If Iran didn't have "offensive" missiles to launch at Israel they would have got hit much harder and lost more lives, so it's in a defensive capacity. Israel having "defensive" air defence means they can be much more belligerent as they'll have fewer consequences for their actions.
