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.

Isn't this guy part of the far right cabal? Why is he doing such a better job dunking on this ghoul than anyone else? There are so many libs cheering for foreign blood and imperialist war, but this is the guy making the hawks look stupid? Wild.

Edit:

There's another great clip from this interview here

He's playing Cruz to make him look dumb while making himself look smart. He's not taking any actually positions here, he's just saying "HAHA LOOK AT THE STUPID MAN" which is really easy because Cruz is an absolute dullard.

Tucker knows the Trump Train is coming to an end, and he's positioning himself as the renegade outsider for the next round.

I think it's this too. I think Tucker is looking at the likely outcomes here that either, despite all the bluster and some missile strikes Trump moves away from war with Iran in a climbdown that further splits his base & cooks him with Washington hawks, or he escalates and joins a war on Iran on behalf of Israel that's already incredibly unpopular before US planes start getting shot down and ships sank and bodies start coming home in coffins on TV at the airport. He's positioning himself outside of the lose-lose scenario using their incompetence as the predetermined arguement for why he's not a dove / pro-Iran etc.

I feel like that tack works pretty well in media, and as much as I think people like Tucker and Tulsi Gabbard are freaks, I do appreciate them throwing up some barriers to US involvement. Not because I care about the US, I don't want our comrades to have their lives destroyed by the great satan.
