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

The FFP are basically just centrist libs. If the Trump branch of the Republican party decided to ban the Democrats, ya that would be bad, and this is basically what happened to FFP. The lib reaction to the army cracking down has always been weak. It’s the Marxist (and the limited anarchist segments) that pushed to take over the streets.

I sorta feel like Hunter Biden is trying to get better, and his material conditions are not as fucked up as the king. A better analogy might be Caligula.

Oh I can’t stress enough that the US government is funding groups around the pro-democracy movement, but not the main ones.

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.
