The whole ceremony seemed very bougie to me, then this happened, then I remembered that it was a bougie revolution, then I remembered that the bourgeois once had a historically progressive role to play. And the guitar was like Mad Max. Overall, 7/10

It’s also a reference to the song ça ira (bonus german lyrics in this one)

I knew this because of my incomparable historical research having played assassin’s creed unity

Ah! Ça ira, ça ira, ça ira. (Ah! It’ll be fine, it’ll be fine, it’ll be fine.) Les aristocrates à lanterne. (The aristocrats - to the lamp-post.) Ah! Ça ira, ça ira, ça ira. (Ah! It’ll be fine, it’ll be fine, it’ll be fine.) Les aristocrates, on les pendra! (The aristocrats, we’ll hang them!)

The title and theme of the refrain were inspired by Benjamin Franklin, in France as a representative of the Continental Congress, who was very popular among the French people. When asked about the American Revolutionary War, he would reportedly reply, in somewhat broken French, “Ça ira, ça ira” (“It’ll be fine, it’ll be fine”)

Just gotta spend time at it, I’d recommend Kaiserreich to maintain interest because it’s like WW2 balanced for fun. In the base game the USA and to a lesser extent the USSR steamroll everyone every time unless there are some player shenanigans.

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.
