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.

Gestapo literally means "secret state police".

It seems to me he created the vid to get likes. His pet phrase is the SA. That's shit. The average American reads at below 6th grade level, doesn't know American history, and is lazy as fuck. SA is far worse than gestapo because they'd be annoyed by it (What is it?) and they'd have to google to learn it and they're certainly not gonna.

Gestapo literally means “secret state police”.

IMO this is like saying "Nazi literally means someone who is strict on rules" and "Socialist literally means someone who wants to share all the money around". It's true colloquially, but that's also a crude abuse of a term which actually refers to a real historical group. It's useless in a political context, and we should attempt to educate people about important things. The school system isn't doing it, and these issues are more relevant to the average American by the day.

Gestapo is a shortened form of Geheime (Secret) Staatspolizei (state police). That’s literally just what it means.
