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.

How do you know?

How? Even just a passive viewing of that debate shows how little he understands the citations he's using. He couldn't defend any of his sources beyond reading select quotes that just happen to be available on wikipedia - any time Finkelstein engaged the substance of whatever it was he was resting his case on Mr Bonnelli couldn't hang.

This is why this kind of exchange is pointless - Finkelstein is an actual scholar on the issue and can engage with substance far deeper than most average BA's could, let alone a college drop-out slop-tuber. The distance between them in terms of subject matter knowledge is just too great - they might as well be speaking different languages.
