… until he realized how useful it was for laundering their image as nazis.

Now I wanna be skeptical of this stuff. I don’t wanna be blind. The logo at the end makes me think this is Russian nationalist propaganda etc. However it totally lines up with what we already know about Azov, and it neatly answers the liberal weaponization of Zelensky’s identity as a Jewish man against any who are skeptical of the Ukrainian military.

Does anyone know

1: Who this is?

2: if he is being interviewed under duress?

3: Are the subtitles correct?

I mean this is probably what most of Azov people think, but you can’t take much from this video in particular. I think filming people like this during war, especially if they’re prisioners of war, is against the Geneva conventions.

It is, I dont recall the specific wording but its against the conventions to make POWs a “public curiosity” IIRC, it’s been pointed out quite a lot that the Ukranians have been breaking this a ton, but I havent really seen any institutions comment on it.

As we know in war, when the enemy commits a war crime, you are given a coupon to commit one (1) equivalent war crime

The ending bit leads one to twitter: https://twitter.com/r_u_vid/status/1509270803715526656. According to that:

  1. This is Dmitro Korchynksy (natopedia), leading fash groups since 90s
  2. I would guess no because both he and the interviewer are speaking Ukrainian and not Russian? There’s little reason for figure of such caliber to be under duress otherwise.
  3. The subs are correct. Like, I would say “thuggish” instead of “unprincipled” at about 11s but it should all convey the meaning.

the Orthodox Christian schism aspect of the current conflict is something I haven’t seen discussed much anywhere, but it seems like something very much bubbling under the surface level analysis we’ve been getting

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.
