The war is going great. 
Yet another horrifying scene which would be plastered all over network news if only it were happening in Russia instead.
It's not "authoritarianism" if it's happening in a US ally (or puppet).

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 work with a lib for whom I trotted everything out to explain what led to the war, but he was still 'Putler bad'; even though I gave him context, it took him talking to people he personally trusts to finally come around. He admitted that what I'd said had put doubts in him, but he'd even been willing to say that people in Donbas (all of them) should've just left, and that what Ukraine was doing to them was fine because 'well were they protesting maybe? Causing riots?'. If these people aren't hearing it from people they personally trust, then evidence, historical context, facts, etc will do nothing.
Unless Kamala or Biden come out and say exactly all this, libs are not changing their minds; perhaps if the news would also report all this as well rather than pretend Russia just attacked Ukraine out of the blue for absolutely no reason whatsoever.
