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.

Its pretty clear to me that the flotilla goal was not to provide aid to gaza, but to prove that Israel doesn't follow international law. The stunt really worked out imo.

You uploaded the 1 minute clip from reddit. The full video aired on BFM was 13 minutes.

For better or worse, Israel did a predictable and least-bad PR move here. Nobody died, and news stories about it remain minor.

As much as I'm proud of them doing something brave and heroic, I don't think anybody will care about this a week from now.

They literally violated international law by kidnapping them, the least bad PR move was allowing the flotilla to get there, the aid in the boat was very minor. The israelis knew this and still couldnt help themselves and violate international law, it speaks of how insecure israelis are at this stage.

Im convinced their actual goal was baiting Israel to violate international law and the idiots took the bait.

Key piece here:

Greta: "Some of us were deported, some of us are still there."

Where is the French Palestinian lawmaker who was with Greta?

My username is meant to be an expression of my own existence. To be alive is to have autonomy, opportunity, etc.
