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.

Maybe I'm too cynical, but that's what I got from it. The video way overstates the ease of DIY viral research and understates how tightly regulated it already is.

That image, put together as an RNA sequence, made for a world plague.

According to Mao, the external influence of COVID19 on the western imperialist world order only created a world plague because of the internal contradictions between the "profit motive at all costs" mentality of the political economy and the fact that workers have to produce the surplus value required for such profit by being in a situation where transmission is inevitable as time tends towards infinity. There was also a contradiction between the essential nature of competition in the world economy and the requirement for cooperation between nations to contain/eliminate the virus.

As such, human life was sacrificed for the profit motive and the western bourgeoisie as a whole let the virus spread amongst the workforce instead of implementing controls which would make work safer but jeopardize profit. Furthermore, they prevented poorer countries from having the formulae for vaccines so that they could be in control of distribution and profit from sales.

Since it is more profitable to catch a man a fish so he can eat for a day (at your price) instead of teaching him to fish so he eats for free.
