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.

Content Warnings must be placed before the rest of the title.

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.

Aren't they more of Islamist types?

well, ansarallah/its predecessors aligned with the communist government of south yemen a long time ago. they are fundamentally islamist, yes, but they were also aligned with the communists and agree with many communist ideals. think of it as similar to liberation theology in catholicism. theyre also fundamentally anti-imperialist which is good too. the former communist party liberalized after the collapse of South Yemen but as of the Yemeni civil war, they split into an anti-imperialist communist faction and a pro-imperialist socdem faction. the communist faction supports ansar allah

I wasn't aware of full Yemen's history. But given that main ally is Iran, I don't see much communism going on there

I don't know what I'm talking about. But

no investigation, no right to speak

Iran is closer to communism than wherever you live
