Pro Thai military. Look at his videos about the Thai monarchy. Fucking yuck.

The a few of the Thai (liberal) pro-democracy movements have sadly received some NED cash. Yes, we should be aware and critical of that. But coming from a reactionary like him, it’s just fucking concern trolling. The guy has NOTHING to say about CIA propping up the kings, nor the close support of the pentagon for the Thai military.

He cleverly picks battles to appeal to people from outside that don’t follow Thai politics.

Also, the main Thai pro-democracy group (not NED funded) went ML last month. It’s fucking awesome.

It seems reactionary to group Thai protests in with Belarus, let alone HK. Reactionary as in a reaction of because US are backing them through various channels they just be bad. It’s funny because the US has no beef with the Thai government.

Honestly the US government is playing both sides. Either the fascists in the current government win, or the libs in groups they’re supporting win, so the US comes out on top. Def Thai pro democracy protestors aren’t all on the side of Netiwit. The Left, frankly, just tolerates him.

For sure. I just get frustrated that some folks on the left assume any protest or movement that the US is involved in is bad or reactionary. You seem quite familiar with the goings on there. Is the FFP essentially a bunch of libs and they capitalized on their dissolution and the protests sparked by them, or is there more to the story. I wouldn’t be surprised if bourgeoisie libs are trying to co-opt the more leftist aspects of the protests like here in the US.

Also, is comparing the current king to Hunter Biden a fair analogy? Lol

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.
