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.

Ah yes, massively improving people's living conditions and fighting against yet another Manifest Destiny is just like enacting yet another Manifest Destiny. /s

Just say that you are clueless instead of embarrassing yourself.

Not denying his accomplishments, but like, the contrast is that modern Russia is not doing any of that. Living conditions are slowly getting eroded by neoliberalism and have been for years. We're experiencing a housing crisis, wage stagnation, degradation of the social healthcare system, etc etc

And Stalin is not being rehabilitated/"brought back" for the good parts, but rather because he tightened the screws against dissidents, foreigners (incl rootless cosmopolitans), queers, and other undesirables. As a rootless cosmopolitan myself I rather dislike those parts of his legacy and don't want them keep happening

I agree with a large portion of what you said here, but I fail to see how that is relevant. The person I responded to equated Stalin with Hitler.
