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.

i saw a youtube comment that put it nicely:

genuinely wtf is the point in having fuk you money if you never say fuk you. ed moving like he owes rent

It's so pathetic. It's not like anyone doubts that he's a lib Zionist but, despite his ungodly wealth, he can't bring himself to be open about it. What a fucking loser.

I really don’t understand why he would invite Macklemore as his opener if he has fully developed zionist views. I genuinely believe he has been so detached from regular people that he views the genocide through the reactions of his rich friends and doesn’t like it that his friends don’t get along and finds both sides unreasonable because they’re not open to considering each other’s perspectives.

[–] UmbraVivi@hexbear.net 24 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

I don't think he has. He didn't care when Macklemore did his thing until Robert Kraft gave him that ultimatum.

My read on the guy is that he's wholly uninformed when it comes to politics. Off the top of my head I can't think of any Sheeran songs that touch on any kind of systemic issue or anything like that, of which even Taylor Swift has several. He'll hold the Ukrainian flag if his PR team tells him to but otherwise he's privileged enough not to have to care. His politics are basically grillman

I agree, and it perfectly highlights that being "centrist" or "apolitical" in effect means you'll always end up siding with the status quo and are fully complicit in all the violence that comes with that. This isn't the committed zionism we see from somebody like, say, Boy George, but it has the exact same effect in practice. It is functionally identical if you actively voice support for genocide or passively accept it.

Yes he is, but I don’t think he understands what that means so he wouldn’t be able to express that in any other way than his terrible statement

[–] AntifaCatgirlSuperSoldier@hexbear.net 6 points 14 hours ago (2 children)

He can express it using a song

[–] SerialExperimentsGay@hexbear.net 6 points 13 hours ago

step away from the lathe right now catgirl-hiss

He'll write a song about getting cancelled and free speech and we'll say the same shit we've always said - I wish it fucking worked, please shut the fuck up.

No, his new song will also be spineless, he'll go ouah ouah ouah then say something

Yea I guess it reveals that money doesn’t mean as much as power and that’s the “game” to watch and care about (though obviously there are strong connections).
