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 wanna point out to everyone that the big room full of sofas is probably supposed to be a majlis, which is a common and normal feature of Arab homes. It's like a big living room where a bunch of people are seated facing one another. But that's the biggest and worst one I've ever seen. Usually they're a U-shape around the edges of a smaller room. This just looks like an airport waiting area. It sucks.

Was this mansion not finished? Or maybe it was vacated very suddenly once the Houthis went to capture it

genuinely the least comfy one ive ever seen. i visited a muslim friend's house and it was uber comfy, with fancy geometric rugs on the walls, tea, coffee, and throw blankets. very cozy meow-coffee

this one looks so antiseptic, it looks like a hospital waiting room

lenin-palace But instead of the opulence just the sheer tacky McMansion of it all

These people have such awful taste. So much architecture to be inspired by only to construct a massive hall with seats

[–] FnordPrefect@hexbear.net 20 points 1 week ago (1 children)

lol, inspired by the old cartoon character running with looping background aesthetic

Ansar forces have entered the personal residence of Sultan Al-Barakani, the Saudi-backed, self-appointed parliamentary speaker of the exiled regime, in Taiz Governorate.

As ever, the quisling elite live comfortably in sprawling mansions while ordinary Yemenis struggle to make ends meet.

There's something about the inside of that place that fills me with a deep unease. There's, like, a sorta spacial uncanniness that all attempts at liminal horror cannot evoke in me.

This is not a place for the living.

Yemen communist revolution let's fucking go

[–] majster@lemmy.zip 2 points 6 days ago (2 children)

Aren't they more of Islamist types?

[–] kristina@hexbear.net 13 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago) (1 children)

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

[–] BaggedEarful@hexbear.net 7 points 6 days ago

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

this Yemeni speaker guy was probably planning to partner with Mr. Beast to hold the world's longest game of musical chairs
