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.

genuinely meaningless, sounds more like self-justification rather than an attempt to convince, especially the latter half.

What is self justification in this case? Validating the role her personal beliefs play in following her convictions as a communist? And what part of educating people on one of the commonly misrepresented Marx quotes, explaining materialism vs idealism, combating reddit atheist/skeptic/debate-bro Islamophobic brain worms, etc. etc. is meaningless?

not to mention that all these "communist" "influencers" do is sell the same tired shit as everyone else but with a red coat. this one, all the "derprogram" cast, the infrared people, you don't seriously think any of them care about this? they have a Very Good Thing going, earning some of them 20k+ EUR per month, at least the bigger distortioners, but they all fabricate and lie because that is what sells most.

She just doesn't engage with theory at all, which seems to be a common pitfall with "communists", especially on this site.

Everything she said is contradicted by Engels here, starting with when she opened her mouth to talk about Islam existing post-DOTP

not to mention "citing" che guevara saying that communism is love and apparently islam is her love... what? just vapid bullshit. communism is a system, "love" in the way that she uses it is some moral concept from beyond heaven (idk what the translation of занебесный would be in english, just imagine that this is what I meant). if her conception and justification for islam is that it is love, and her love is necessary for communism, then i struggle to imagine that her conviction to marxism is very strong, given that it rests on bourgeois moralism.
