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.

Debate bro reply. Nazism is not an inherent personality trait. People are not born nazis. Vanishingly few people are explicitly nazis.

It's hard to take someone out of a position of willing and conscious selfishness - which is what Nazism is.

At least Liberals and Conservatives lie to themselves that they want the best for other people. They have an unstable belief system that can change in a number of directions.

If someone is the kind of person who says, nah fuck other people I want more for myself at their expense - then that is a stable moral position. It is a value system that is expensive to reeducate people out of.

Then to think that you can shack up with such a person based on vibes and chemistry, and that what? Do you think you can fix them? You want to bring them into your life? Someone who will say "better dead than red"…

On another point. You brought up the idea of Nazism being intrinsic yourself. @laughinglion did no such thing.

You talk about debate-bro-ing, but you need to study logical fallacies and meditate on when you yourself engage in them.

In this case you committed the strawman fallacy.

I'm going to try to see how your mind could have made such a leap that seems to me to be very absurd.

Here is my best shot:

You took his statement about someone who is currently in the state of "Nazi" and his statement about the absurdity of mutating from that state to another, and you extrapolated backwards to the original state (birth). Hence, your counterargument is that people aren't born Nazis.

His point was simply:

  • Dating Nazis is not a good idea.
  • Rationalizing dating Nazis is silly.
  • Ideating that you could make that work is silly.

The claim that it is silly to think you can fix a Nazi, is different than the claim that Nazis have an immutable state of personality, which is itself different than the claim that when a particular state is immutable - that all prior states were also immutable.
