Shocking news, I know, but a good historical overview

It's funny that people deny this now when we were all making "Oh your country has oil? Sounds like you need some freedom 🦅😏" jokes in the 2000s

It’s straight up a meme now. Everyone laughs at “us invade scalp for oil” so people fill the gap by “defying the orthodoxy” and claiming otherwise

The joke from when I was in the army at that time was that the name of the operation originally was Operation Iraqi Liberation but somebody caught on fast enough that the acronym being OIL was just too on the nose.

I honestly don't know if that was purely a joke or if there was any truth to it.

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.
