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.

no. he's a genocidal conservative and always has been. the "white moderates" are the ones insisting

  • no one pull support from biden or complicit democrats.
  • the protests be stopped for being disruptive
  • on referring to crime against property as violence
  • on blaming the protestors for injuries and violence occurring when armed police are sent in to shut down their protests
  • on blaming the gazans for using violence to resist occupation and subjugation

Calling a genocide moderate lol

[–] EstraDoll@hexbear.net 34 points 1 year ago

Even ignoring the genocide (ridiculous statement that should never have to be said) what on earth is he "moderate" about? he's a dyed in the wool right winger who has to use progressive sounding language for no other reason than that's his brand and party affiliation.

New Overton Window, not doing a genocide is too radical and extreme.

[–] Maoo@hexbear.net 24 points 1 year ago

Definetely not.

The white moderate is, per MLK's description, the person that says they agree and are your ally but that "now is not the right time" and that your methods that create tension are wrong. The white moderate is the person saying to stop protesting and vote but that Palestine should be free.

Biden is a naked Zionist that believes in the project and funds it directly, including the current genocidal escalation.

There is certainly tut-tuting but very little of it comes from people that claim anti-Zionism. The only examples I can think if are from ultras and Trots and there are very few of them to begin with. Most of the tut-tuting comes from liberals that justify Zionism.

In 86, Biden said that if there was no Israel, the US would have to invent one. In the sense that if there was no ongoing colonial project in the middle east, the US would have to make one up to further their geopolitical interests. Biden isn't a 'moderate', he's a bona fide imperialist dog.

I would never classify Biden as a moderate. He's always been a right wing Republican in the Senate. He was known as the Senator MBNA and as much as they try to downplay that with the homeboy Scranton bullshit - it never caught on. He wasn't a Senator from Pennsylvania. He was a Senator from a Delaware Corporation. Bragged openly how corrupt and sellout he was while bragging more about cracking skulls and aggressively demonizig minorities.

The aparatus around Biden though and this "don't talk about Bruno" amonst the Democrats are. Bernie is the white Moderate. Pelosi and AOC are the white moderates. Does it really matter if they are white at this point when tou have people like Obama and Jim Clyburn and Secretary Austin and Powell and Condie Rice and Nikki Haley?

Has the point been driven home yet that tokens are just as - if not more - dangerous because they give minorities a false sense of comfort? Diverse people can be corrupt, greedy, warmongering soul suckers too.

Yes.

Next question.

[–] Dessa@hexbear.net 10 points 1 year ago

Everyone here is a white moderate except me

[–] Red_sun_in_the_sky@lemmy.ml 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Biden on tv said he is a zionist. So no. I don't think being a fascist is moderate.

[–] Miaou@jlai.lu 3 points 1 year ago

It does make him an American moderate.

[–] kleeon@hexbear.net 5 points 1 year ago

nah, he's the White Citizen's Counciler
