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.

Saying the world isn't ending due to climate change is irresponsible. The world as we know it is being destroyed, and that's obviously what people mean by the turn of phrase.

That doesn't mean the only conclusion is doomerism. There are lots of solutions but they kind of require you (yes you). to get out and organize not just watch sophist steamers.

I think a lot of people are hearing "the world is ending" and they are giving up. Even people on this very site who know better, so probably lots of normies as well.

But perhaps more relevant: given the post times and video length... Neither of us have watched this video through, so if you want to shit on it maybe give it a fair shot first. Or ignore it, that's fine, just don't shit on it without any investigation

Yeah I'm not watching that shit lmao I have shit to do

That's fine. Same reason I haven't, but don't assume you know what it says then.

I agree, but you didn’t watch the video and are just reacting to the title, so not really relevant. If you have critiques of her “sophistry” I’m down, I think her language is vague and unmaterialist, but your critique is literally a non-sequitur. “Get out and organize” is literally the primary message

Looking good, I'm very here for Sophie's Leninist-Shroomist climate radical turn

I'm like twenty minutes in but she's already been talking about the inadequacies of liberal climate discourse, empire, and the petro-dollar. "climate warming cannot be stopped without ending global imperialist capitalism"
And there's shrooms later on, I've been peeking

I’m wondering about your final thoughts!

I had to interrupt at about the halfway mark yesterday, I'll probably end up finishing it today. I'll shoot you a comment in here if I end up having any interesting thoughts
