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.

Watch (at least) the first 15 minutes if you don't believe me.
My point is that this war is not about nazis, it's just framed as such
Not about nazis, just gotta shove Azov battalion out of the way, tuck this ukrainian iron cross over there, some nordic runes, some swastikas... A lot of clean-up for the slava ukraini crowd to do, huh?
I'm sure it's just a coincidence that Azov was elevated from a battalion to a regiment to a brigade, and now a corps, one of only two corps in the Ukraine national guard
Just a coincidence, much like the sonnenrads, totenkopfs, wolfsangels and other insignia that Ukrainian soldiers seem to love showing off on their uniforms and tattoos
Many such cases of Ukrainian units naming themselves after Waffen SS just a coincidence though, much like the youth camps where the kids play Hugo Boss dressup for graduation, much like the swastikas the western forces spray painted on houses in the Donbas
Meanwhile how's Prigozhin doing these days? So many examples from the West Ukraine side, meanwhile it's seemingly always vague references to rampant Nazism in Russia but I'll wait for more concrete examples
Also somehow the war can't be "about" Nazism while also pertaining to gas transshipment deals, like it can't be multiple causes pertaining to different sections and strata of Russian society, or as though intervening on behalf of ethnic Russians is somehow a fake humanitarian intervention cover story and not, you know, entirely consistent with Russian nationalism
Meanwhile there are so many examples of Nazi-fascism on the western Ukrainian side that they just roll right off the tongue, just a coincidence though, both sides just as bad
