one of the cultural artifacts of American Imperialism that is still highly relevant today https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Victory_Through_Air_Power_(film) >Victory Through Air Power is an American animated documentary propaganda film produced by Walt Disney Productions and released by United Artists on July 17, 1943. It is based on the 1942 book Victory Through Air Power by Alexander P. de Seversky. >On December 8, 1941, Disney studios were essentially converted into a propaganda machine for the United States government. While most World War II films were created for training purposes, films such as Victory Through Air Power were created to catch the attention of government officials and to build public morale among the U.S. and Allied powers. Among the notables who decided after seeing the film that Seversky and Disney knew what they were talking about were Winston Churchill and Franklin D. Roosevelt. >The phrase "terror bombing" entered the English lexicon towards the end of World War II and many strategic bombing campaigns and individual raids have been described as terror bombing by commentators and historians. Because the term has pejorative connotations, some, including the Allies of World War II, have preferred to use euphemisms such as "will to resist" and "morale bombings". https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Strategic_bombing This Disney propaganda film inspired the bombing campaigns of civilians and urban centers by the US and UK during WW2. Also a bit of context on the author of the book: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alexander_de_Seversky >Of noble Russian parentage, Seversky was born in Tiflis, Russian Empire (now Tbilisi, Georgia). He entered a military school at age 10. Seversky's father was one of the first Russian aviators to own an aircraft and by the age of 14 his father had already taught him how to fly. >During the 1917 Revolution, Seversky was stationed in St. Petersburg and remained in uniform at the request of the commander-in-chief of the Baltic Fleet. In March 1918, he was selected as an assistant naval attaché in the Russian Naval Aviation Mission to the United States. Seversky departed via Siberia and while in the U.S., decided to remain there rather than return to a Russia torn apart by the Revolution. Settling in Manhattan, he briefly operated a restaurant. >As World War II approached, Seversky became engrossed in formulating his theories of air warfare. Shortly after the Attack on Pearl Harbor, he wrote Victory Through Air Power, published in April 1942, advocating the strategic use of air bombardment. [4] The best-selling book (No. 1 on the New York Times bestseller list, appearing first in mid-August 1942 and remaining in first place for four weeks) with five million copies sold. The book's popularity and hard-hitting message led to Walt Disney adapting the book into an animated motion picture (1943) of the same name where Seversky (who also served as the film's technical consultant) provided live-action commentary. This is the proto  and/or Dr. Strangelove before the a-bomb even existed.
Kinda neat short, obviously referencing "Gundam Rising"

>So today, we’re going to be talking about Israel’s quote unquote limited operation into Lebanon. What does it mean? What can it Achieve? For me it’s giving Global War on Terror vibes with no operational timeline or defined objectives, but we’ll put that aside for a moment. The fighting along the border has begun, and it seems that Hezbollah was able to repulse at least one dismounted infantry push into Southern Lebanon. I woke up this morning to videos of the IDF exfiltrating a mass casualty event into CASEVAC helicopters, seen here… This youtube podcast just showed up in my feed and I like it.
Still one of my favorite pieces of satire I've ever watched and ever so relevant
Beyond Belief at half speed makes is sound like Jonathan Frakes is a drunk guy you can't get rid of.

My hyper-Catholic grandfather called me "selfish" for being childfree, and I feel like he's viewing it as "selfishness against God" in a way. I'm biologically unable to have kids because of gender transition anyway, but obviously, it's not like his religion approves of that either. We don't talk anymore, and that's the happiest path for the both of us, even if he doesn't realize it.
"neural Mexican standoff failsafe authenticated by each party's genome" "DNA... NDA" Waiting until some techbro dipshit genuinely tries inventing this . I mean, we already have biometric authentication in various forms...

Translate - we are going to regime change / declare war on you and in English this means "about $12 billion more for bombing Iran please".

!videos@hexbear.netBreadtube 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.
