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.

I didn't watch the debate but I've heard them both argue about the topic in different contexts. Destiny is good at debating and he can "hold his own" in any debate, regardless of how wrong he is on a subject, by litigating technicalities, deviating and distracting from the core issue at hand. I'm sure his arguments sound great if you know absolutely nothing about the subject matter.
You're assuming the destiny doesn't reuse the same arguments over and over again, or that everything about his viewpoint can't be gleaned by the gleeful pro genocide rhetoric that he uses, he's constant dehumanization of palestinians.
I don't think it's necessary to read mein Kampf cover to cover, to disregard Hitler's ideology or point out the very obvious contradictions. I don't think it's necessary to watch every Mussolini speech, to disregard his ideology. I don't think it's necessary to watch a 3-hour debate and provide time stamps, to disregard a twitch streamer with an over inflated ego.
And that's before we get into the very real and very disturbing sexual misconduct, which does not directly imply he's wrong on this issue, but definitely means you should not take anything he says at face value. Someone can be correct on a topic, while being an unrepentant sexual monster, but people should still think twice and probably spend less time defending his honor.
The dude stands on the side of genocide. Yes he absolutely is wrong, evidently so
It was because his points were factually incorrect, which is what Finkelstein was pointing out. If you are saying that 'as long as the argument sound good it good', then you are willfully ignorant. He never made a better argument than Finkelstein.
He tried to portray the great march of return as violent when it was overwhelmingly non violent. Of 30,000 demonstrators, 2 were seen to carry weapons. It was by and large peaceful while Israeli snipers deliberately incapacitated people hundreds of meters away from the fence. Destiny was wrong on this, but tried to used single instances of violence to “debunk” the fact that it was nearly entirely non-violent.
I'm not going to rewatch the video, but I recall he literally doesn't believe European Jews coming in is settler colonialism, nor that Israel is part of the British project of Palestinian partition, which directly contradicts the UN history of the matter, despite citing the same document for support of other points.
Besides the point that he absolutely believes the current slaughter is justified.
