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.

He starts the video off with the obligatory lib "totalitarianism 42069 gorillion dead" but I promise he actually sincerely engages with Marx's writing later on from a perspective of somebody that's done a lot of research on occult writings.

It's a pretty interesting video, I've never heard somebody compare Marx's Capital to a gothic horror novel and he does have a point when he says some people start looking at Marxism in an almost religious way (looking at you Gonzaloids).

If you want to learn about Marxism and the Occult, this site has pretty amazing analysis.

This was the first article I read from there, and it's been really useful for explaining Marx's ideas to folks with minimal experience with his theories: https://ianwrightsite.wordpress.com/2020/09/03/marx-on-capital-as-a-real-god-2/
