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.

Or maybe they were both shitty? Recognizing the atrocities that occurred under Stalin's rule doesn't make somebody an apologist for Western leaders, and that certainly wasn't what I was implying.

Stalin's government massively improved the living conditions of working-class people, stopped the Holocaust and the Lebensraum (and was the most consistent and early enemy of nazi Germany), and helped anti-colonial movements.
Yeah, nah, I can't call Stalin's government 'shitty'.

Recognizing the atrocities that occurred under Stalin's rule

'Atrocities' such as guaranteed housing, guaranteed access to healthcare, liquidation of illiteracy (all consequences of planned economy, by the way), a massive increase of life expectancy, cessation of famines.

Uncritically swallowing every bit of western propaganda demonizing the opponents of those western leaders does, though.

Don't mistake your opinion for everyone's here?

Do you believe in double genocide theory?

I'm psychically sending you images of the Weenis right now.

Note: The Weenis is a dance.

Note 2: Everybody is a genius who knows it in advance.
