I’m leaning Roz since Cuba is the one AES state its kinda socially acceptable for westoids to have a kinda positive opinion of.

Azov ϟϟomething

I am once again asking the left to stop chasing after fascists and putting their efforts into converting fascists but instead to put their efforts into closely vetting the people who they allow to become leaders.

We’ve really gotta stop glamourising ex-fascists and start viewing them with a deeply critical lens.

Either they’re just a flip-flopper/grifter like Faraday Speaks (“So I watched some YouTube videos from reactionaries and I decided I was also a reactionary, then I watched some videos from leftists and I decided that I’m now a leftist, since then I have decided that I’m some sort of centrist [I think? Idk]… Love me, love me love me - I’m the ideological equivalent of a windvane”) or they are an actual fascist but it takes a very long time to undo fascist programming.

I’m happy to give golf claps to converts who get paraded around as proof that people can change etc. but there’s a reason why the black community doesn’t immediately stick the ex-Klansmen who had a change of heart a fortnight ago into a position of leadership; the left needs to be warm and welcoming to people who are new but there’s a massive difference between extending hospitality and appointing people to positions of leadership and throwing tons of cash their way.

Edit: Look at this shit. Aside from the fact that it’s a stale af, Facebook boomer tier soapboxing image dressed up as a meme… are we to assume that Adam Shitthing is intending to argue that trans people are degen*rates?

Because that’s the established discourse internal to this meme.

It’s hard to imagine that someone as online as he is failing to grasp what this meme implies. Wtf is going on there??

Yeah, I’m all for converting Fascists and they have a role in preventing people from becoming fash. But You Do Not Let Them Become Cadre. Or propagandists outside a narrow sphere of anti fascism. They’re simply not politically reliable.

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.
