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.

True, it's an opportunity to educate people, especially those living in the Nordic countries or European Socialist democracies, who are being failed by that system, so that they hopefully go further left and not right.

But what European country has soc-dems?

All of our countries are going more and more into fascism, and before that we've had uncontrolled neoliberalism

I know this isn't what most people view social democracy as and that's not what they refer to when they say the words, but it's basically capitalism in decline/incline

From a socialist perspective it's a move towards capitalism, because of removal of power from the workers and shift towards private property

From a capitalist perspective it's a move towards socialism, because of regulations and mandatory welfare that take away a chunk of profits

Both want to get rid of it. So it's probably not something that can last.

All of them, according to EU neoliberals who are lying to themselves and others.

Fair

Btw my comment is an honest question even though it's mostly cinecal. there may still be one but I am not aware and not very knowledgable about the many EU countries' politics

IMO European social democracy died in the 1990s, no matter what they claim they've all been neolib regimes since the final decline and end of the USSR.
