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.

I'm only early 40s and so cannot say I'm truly a boomer, but I have definitely done similar searches on twitter and have also accidentally mistaken the post box for the search box.

The fact it's still up 8 years later is king shit

What a fuckin legend

There has to be a German word for something that is both creepy and endearing.

I really wanted it to be dean-frown

im not watching a YouTube video someone should really have included more context to "this is time for revolution" so i can tell if he said something cool or something liberal

[–] tocopherol@hexbear.net 13 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago) (3 children)

I don't know how much more context there was, I found this on the Variety article about it whom he made the comments to, he did say it in kind of a lib way, but maybe he just knows his audience:

“This is time for a revolution — and they don’t even know that’s what they’re starting,” the actor told Variety on Tuesday night at the Sundance Film Festival. “We have to stand up to it. They can’t take us all down. If the whole world showed up on Putin’s doorstep or the Iranians’ doorstep or in Washington, they’d kill 500 or 50 million or however [many], but the rest of us would survive with a new [world].”

“Some very rich old white men are exerting their power to suppress our own people, thus creating a feeling of civil war in the streets, preparing the haters to hate, teaching them how to shoot,” Esposito said. “This is all a preparation for a very insidious problem that’s happening in our world. And for me, I have to speak out. We will not be ICE’d out. This is not going to happen.”

He says a bit more on the video after that but basically just concluding.

Why are Liberals like this? While calling for a revolution in the fascist USA they just can’t help but take a swipe at America’s enemies first and reinforce American narratives

[–] FunkyStuff@hexbear.net 13 points 4 days ago

Lol is he saying Khamenei is a rich white old man? Or that Iran is controlled by rich white old men?

Oh so it was liberalism, yaaay

[–] FunkyStuff@hexbear.net 5 points 4 days ago (2 children)

I doubt he means "it's time for the workers to seize the means" but it's hard to really glean exactly how he means it from such a short clip.

[–] InexplicableLunchFiend@hexbear.net 6 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Sounds like he wants us all to charge Putin’s palace while 50 million of us get mowed down

It wasn't just liberalism but PEAK liberalism

[–] LeeeroooyJeeenkiiins@hexbear.net 5 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago) (1 children)

Anything more forceful than "a revolution in the polls" would be cool

[–] Speaker@hexbear.net 5 points 4 days ago

Regrettably, he said this on New Year's Eve in celebration of the Earth revolving around the Sun.

Schrödinger's Shorts.

[–] Llituro@hexbear.net 11 points 4 days ago (1 children)

i think it's kind of wild he put such a large number on the cost of said revolution. usually these sorts of pronouncements are very far away from considering the human toll that revolution will bring. interesting times.

[–] Awoo@hexbear.net 6 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Where did he do that? I didn't catch anything like that in the video

[–] Llituro@hexbear.net 6 points 4 days ago (1 children)

If the whole world showed up on Putin’s doorstep or the Iranians’ doorstep or in Washington, they’d kill 500 or 50 million or however [many], but the rest of us would survive with a new [world].”

just borrowed that from tocopherol's quotation a bit further down the thread.

[–] Awoo@hexbear.net 12 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Is he gonna be on the frontline then?

When he talks about foreign countries it makes it sound like the usual liberals calling for violence elsewhere kind of deal, doesn't sound like he's ready to participate in it, he's just "spiritually ready" for 50million other people to die for it.

[–] Llituro@hexbear.net 4 points 3 days ago

i'm not trying to say that his words were particularly well-reasoned or even well-delivered. i was just commenting on it being interesting how the imagination of really detached people has shifted. i agree with you entirely on the actual implications of his choice of words.
