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.

Wish I could draw so I could make a kelly-comic about how in the good old days SWAT was all about fighting cultists, and nowadays it's just terror (latest fad) attacks with nerve gas liberty-weeping

you mean like the videogames or is there actual SWAT history where their founding moment is like the jonestown cult or whatever?

American police just used to be very worried about satanic cults killing babies. A lot of their training scenarios would revolve around it. Satanic panic type stuff.

There's this fantastic training movie on surviving edged weapons where information about how quickly a person can close 15 feet of distance, is presented side by side with a scenario of a satanic cult doing ritual human sacrifice. It was everywhere.

There's still lots of current day training scenarios that revolve around "satanic cult doing something", but you'd have to go search thru local news for the interviews that mention it, because it's just taken for granted.

love to learn the modern american police finds its roots in like the dastardly shariah police except christianity

Y'allqaeda was the best piece of nomenclature cooked up on twitter and I'm sad it was just used for single militia instead of being descriptive of the religious right as a whole

I absolutely get where you're coming from but I never liked the term because to me it smacks of [looking at extremely US-specific problem]: What are we, dirty muslims?

[–] REgon@hexbear.net 2 points 1 month ago

I can see that, but to me it was more like "you guys are super racist and scaremongering about how Muslims will institute Sharia law, but you're just as violent and religiously dogmatic as the most famous muslim terror group"

Though the other reading is just as valid
