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.

The basic thing is that most of this video simply isn't written in terms of what capitalism is, it's comparing the US's highly financialized economy to China's highly industrialized economy and saying that thte latter isn't capitalism because it's not cannibalizing itself through finance bullshit, but that was never the question! Most generically cynical takes call it a competition between finance capitalism and industrial capitalism and he says nothing to contradict that successfully.

I mean this sincerely when I say that I would like to see the other side of this argument. Obviously Ben Norton is very pro modem China biased. Do you have any media portraying the other argument?
