You can't win unless you're more popular by 1 vote. I understand that.

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.

You can't win unless your family holds enough political power throughout the country to upend the whole system and get you elected
attempting to pass off NCLB as a success with a literally nonsensical graphic in the year of our lord 2023 is absolutely batshit behavior, and the worst part is that most americans don't know that because they can't fucking read.
More Americans need to learn how to readwrite and look people in the eye when speaking to them.
Therefore I will defund schools to punish them for not teaching their students so that they can teach their students better somehow.
This sounds like the Bridging (Closing?) The Gap initiatives in australia where we peg school funding to student attendance rates.
Really works well for at risk youth with low attendance
They're all meant to create de facto segregation. The schools that end up getting the competitive funding are the ones in wealthy areas with fewer problems, and schools in poorer areas with more problems always lose out.
Boy it sure would be awkward if someone named Lee Atwater had revealed that this was the way racists operated in the federal government in 1981.
found it.
The "effective enrolment" model — which allocates funding based primarily on attendance rather than enrolment — is the subject of an ongoing review commissioned by the NT government last year.
But official data, released following questions from independent MLA Yingiya Guyula earlier this year, shows the ongoing impact of the model on 15 schools in remote Aboriginal communities across the territory.
Lajamanu school in the Central Desert region, for example, received funding for only 66 of its 173 enrolled students last year.
Maningrida school — servicing one of the largest remote towns in the territory — received funding for just 281 of its 481 enrolled students during the same period.

this doesn't even take into account the private/public funding split for metro areas, there's a massive divide between rural and regional resource availability
say it with me kids,
The USA is absolutely fucked fucked fucked
He talks about being a murderous president like it is some weekend yoga resort on a beach.
Boy Boy is so good
when they call americans stupid and evil i clap like a seal
I'm glad that Aleksa's skin is looking better after the last one. Was worried it was gunna be permafucked.
Unless of course this was recorded before they went to the USA but released afterwards.
he always seems like he's suppressing a smile, like he can't believe how easy it was to get away with it.
For real the most dystopian part to me is how vacuous all the clips they show off Dubya are. This is a man who either doesn't have, or is completely incapable of articulating, any political philosophy that he believes in - and yet he was the top agent of imperialism and neoliberalism for eight years.
I am truly shocked that a man who's coasted on nepotism his whole life all the way to the top and has never had to learn anything has never developed an ideology.
