well, when your project is entirely about moving the discourse left I can get behind you using the spectrum definition of socialism.
“you” in this context is the Gravel Institute.

I’d much rather people start recognizing why and how they are getting screwed by capital than be scared off by severe cognitive dissonance.

Yeah, I think most people will become social democrats first, and only radicalize once the limitations of that project become clearer

To be fair the graphic next to him said “mild social democracy” when he was talking about those countries

I think he’s just using language that your average Yankee will understand. The whole point of these videos is just to be entry level introductions to these topics anyhow

How’s this for making you feel even older, I’m in my 20s and the only thing my friends and I ever saw or knew David Cross from (at least until we watched Arrested Development when it was revived) was an animated scooby doo short from Halloween 2001 called Night of The Living Doo that we saw on reruns as kids.

I’d never even heard of Mr. Show. I wasn’t yet born when the first season was on the air.

I was about to post this, glad I checked to see if someone else did first!

I know Denmark isn’t socialist, but overall this is an amazingly effective video.

The video even has “MILD SOCIAL DEMOCRACY” in the background when he says that bit.

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.
