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.

Andreas Malm's book "How to Blow Up a Pipeline" talks about how the climate movement could engage direct action sabotage of infrastructure related to fossil fuel production, and likely be seen as heroes/righteous self-defense by the greater public. That was published before Covid, before ongoing climate collapse worsened faster than people imagined, and before the appalling violence of colonialism made clear as day by the events in Israel.

The reactions to events you mentioned and reaction to this event give us reason to think Malm was likely right at the time, and that the window for "legitimate target of self-defense" is even wider now. Infrastructure/equipment alone is not not the only legitimate target in the eyes of the public.
