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.

"Unlike the radical left, we will not weaponize the legal system against political enemies... unless they're actually vaguely left-leaning in which case EXTERMINATE!"

Peaceful politics only work if they're backed up with the threat of extreme violence and/or economic harm. Idk why anyone would think otherwise.

Libs: Vote, my god you have to vote

Also Libs: Well the president said your vote doesn't count because the guy has the wrong skin color, so, womp womp.

This is simply the natural consequence of your failure to vote for Hillary Clinton in 2008

Not exactly related (although it's possible the feds will recruit them or they'll do it of their own accord), but how far could any socialist (even a demsoc) take their agenda with the NYPD threatening them? They're better funded than many armies and they're full of chuds, I can't imagine how easy it would be for them to kill the mayor or allow a shooter to get him or his family. I almost feel like he'll need his own security guards, which seems unrealistic given the magnitude of the force against him.

I remember wondering about this during the George Floyd protests in 2020 because some mayors, who may have been somewhat sympathetic otherwise, seemed trapped by very threatening looking pigs who were always flanking them during speeches or appearances. Seems like a huge problem to deal when it comes to making this country even slightly better at a local level, lmao

[–] hellinkilla@hexbear.net 49 points 4 days ago (2 children)

I seem to recall in 2020 the NYPD doxxed and otherwise harassed (targeted for arrest?) the mayors daughter due to her participation in BLM and I guess in protest of the mayor being insufficiently hostile to black people or something. <- imprecise memory I didn't fact check

[–] NotALeatherMuppet@hexbear.net 29 points 4 days ago

I have the same memory

[–] Ram_The_Manparts@hexbear.net 12 points 4 days ago

I've seen a bunch of people mentioning this exact thing over the past few days, I doubt you're all just imagining it

[–] PKMKII@hexbear.net 51 points 4 days ago (2 children)

Seeing as how the NYPD violently rioted over minor reforms, that’s not as hypothetical as you might think.

[–] tocopherol@hexbear.net 38 points 4 days ago (2 children)

Damn those are the most cop lookin pigs in a bunch I've ever seen

[–] Awoo@hexbear.net 35 points 4 days ago

I can hear that crowd in my head "Oink oink oink squee squee squee".

[–] grendahlgrendahlgen@hexbear.net 30 points 4 days ago

That is the most moustaches I've ever seen in one photo

[–] Awoo@hexbear.net 37 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago)

Deputy Mayor Fritz Alexander called the police on the police. Acting Police Commissioner Ray Kelly dispatched a phalanx of officers to City Hall for crowd control.

That was when Steisel started to get scared.

“I was getting concerned they’re gonna storm the building,” Steisel said. “I mean, these fucking guys are crazy.”

Same fear that drove the ban of police unions in the UK, alongside the impending revolutionary atmosphere.

If mamdani successfully purges the police I will full throatedly call him a comrade of immense importance. I'm waiting patiently to see what happens

[–] spectre@hexbear.net 16 points 4 days ago (1 children)

He specifically said he will not be reducing officer headcount. Will need to wait for his second term at the soonest for that.

[–] kristina@hexbear.net 18 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago) (1 children)

I'm not reducing officer headcount, but I will be replacing them with an equal amount of the People's Red Army lenin-sure

But yeah if he does nothing to the pigs he's just another hot air lib that will accomplish little

[–] spectre@hexbear.net 17 points 4 days ago

Hold up though, just like you said there is plenty he can do besides reduce officer headcount. Cut overtime, cut equipment funding, "special assignments" that aren't on the street, close the international offices, no increase in headcount, no increase, or possibly a decrease in overall budget, etc...

These things are all "defunding the police" and directing resources to actually useful city services, but he's doing it the slow and kinda centeristy way (NYC centrist, so between liberal and socialist) so that NYC lib voters don't have a reason to lose their minds since he's clearly said "you will have the same number of officers in the department". Ofc national media will smear all they want but he can just say that over and over again to the people he's actually trying to get votes from and grind out his victory. I

'm more worried about the assassination than the rat fucking (not that I'd be surprised if they pull that off either)

[–] hellinkilla@hexbear.net 17 points 4 days ago (3 children)

If you purge you have to replace them though right? Otherwise its just a a cut. Who will he get in there?

[–] kristina@hexbear.net 34 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago) (2 children)

You should try to get communists in there it worked for Czechoslovakia post WW2, the partisans supplanted the police and couped the liberals. It's even easier to vet people now just dig into their social media

[–] hellinkilla@hexbear.net 19 points 4 days ago (1 children)

In the interview they show you a bunch of memes and you have to explain which of them is based and why.

Hold up printouts of your Reddit bans like a DPRK general's medals

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

How are you going to convince hundreds of communists in New York to do entryism in the fucking NYPD?

[–] ClimateStalin@hexbear.net 6 points 4 days ago

Make a video saying “We are going to change the NYPD, and I need people who would never normally want to be cops to apply!” while a hammer and sickle slowly fades in and out behind him like a subliminal message

[–] DornerStan@lemmygrad.ml 5 points 4 days ago

Give me a cot to sleep in and a scratching post for my cat and I'll move tomorrow

This would probably radicalize DSA people.

[–] SkingradGuard@hexbear.net 56 points 4 days ago

Do iiiiit Trump. I fucking dare you.

Hopefully it might convince some dem soc libs that voooooting doesn't work in it's own right. Radicalize the yankkkee population.

[–] SexUnderSocialism@hexbear.net 59 points 4 days ago

The LA protests will be nothing compared to what happens if they decide to go through with this.

[–] ElChapoDeChapo@hexbear.net 58 points 4 days ago

Do they really want the People's Republic of New York? Because if they really try shit like this then that's what they'll get

[–] glimmer_twin@hexbear.net 43 points 4 days ago (1 children)
[–] Cimbazarov@hexbear.net 44 points 4 days ago

I dont really have it in me any more to watch someone with leftist policies win and be blocked at every step of the way

[–] MF_COOM@hexbear.net 48 points 4 days ago

Wait he's a rapper too reactionaries can't help making him cooler and cooler

[–] blobjim@hexbear.net 13 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Didn't he come to the US when he was seven?

[–] Beaver@hexbear.net 10 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Yes, but he became a citizen in 2018

[–] blobjim@hexbear.net 6 points 4 days ago

oh interesting!

I'm not worried. Chuck Schumer and Hakeem Jeffries will bring forth the full weight of the Democratic Party machine in defense of Mamdani. Bwahahahaha. Hell, Schumer will happily snug up the zip ties and drive him to Kennedy.
