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.

Geneva Convention, Protocol I Art 43.1

Among the legitimate categories of combatants in a conflict, Additional Protocol I identifies the members of “all organized armed forces, groups and units which are under a command responsible to a party [to the conflict] for the conduct of its subordinates.” This applies even to parties represented by a government or authority that is not recognized by an adverse party (API Art. 43.1). This provision introduces the possibility of applying Additional Protocol I to conflicts in which government forces are opposed to resistance or national liberation movements.

UNGA resolution 37/43

the legitimacy of the struggle of peoples for independence, territorial integrity, national unity and liberation from colonial and foreign domination and foreign occupation by all available means, including armed struggle

UN Resolution 3246

Affirms the legitimacy of armed resistance by oppressed peoples in pursuit of the right to self-determination, and condemns governments which do not support that right

I just realized that when Israel, and by extension the US, says "We have a right to defend ourselves" what they mean is we'll kill anyone we want, at any time, for any reason, and if you try to stop us we'll kill you too. It's not "defense" in any generally recognized meaning of the word, they're asserting that they can and will kill whenever and wherever they want and will not listen to or submit to any authority of any kind.

And if you don't think it includes us, your fooling yourself

Ayuup.

That's what I don't get about Americans. Like you understand that if The Man will do this to other people, he'll do it to you, right? No, they don't understand. They think they're special or different. They think that they're somehow exempt from the violence of empire, even while the empire is stepping on their neck. Fucking bizarre.
