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.

These people make utter fools of themselves and then want us to think it's the people of the DPRK who are propagandized. Dear God I hope to live to see Western countries become more irrelevant.

So if the DPRK is truly a 1984 authoritarian state, why do people mock its citizens instead of, at the very least, showing them empathy and kindness?

The population of the enemy state are both oppressed slaves under the iron fist of the one-man dictatorship which they cannot speak against under threat of execution and evil freedom-hating hordes who must be destroyed.

This way, you can starve and oppress the people of the enemy nation as well as condemn their leadership on the grounds of starving and oppressing their people!! Wondrous!!

Same reason people defend sanctions on North Korea; they don't actually care, they're just gleefully parroting state department propaganda.

Because to the Westernized mind, they are inferior and incapable of self actualizing freedom for themselves, and must be saved by the Arsenal of Democracy.

Alan MacLeod:

If this were a video from North Korea or China, it would be played constantly as evidence of a brainwashed population high on propaganda.

how did the North Koreans react?

They didn't really care. Big deal.

North Koreans: "What the fuck?"

Maybe we could stand Infront of them dressed as uncle Sam and punch a Palestinian child in the face repeatedly?

You could make a mockery of Macron and you'll probably be arrested; he really doesn't take well to criticism (if I recall correctly he pursued legal action against someone who put up pictures of him likening him to Hitler)

Would be interesting if someone did this in front of US fans. I bet their reaction will not be as calm as the North Korean fans here.

Easiest bet in the world sadly; no effort to stop the genocide, but they won't take criticism for it.

Why is he punching a pooh doll that's supposed to be Xi not Kim?

[–] Evilsandwichman@hexbear.net 9 points 11 months ago (1 children)

If there was another state appointed Asian country to hate, he most likely would have fit that in there too.

[–] Frogmanfromlake@hexbear.net 5 points 11 months ago

Only a matter of time before he beats up an Aladdin doll that’s supposed to represent India.

[–] CredibleBattery@hexbear.net 8 points 11 months ago

[–] Rojo27@hexbear.net 6 points 11 months ago

Gonna dress up like Biden and crush some crackers in my hands to see how cracker would react.

Oh look it’s one of the good ones. I wonder how many times people have called him Chinese and he goes along with it by making sinophobic jokes.
