Mildly Interesting

This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

jubilee seems very right leaning channel to me.

I don't think they understand politics enough to discern ideology, so they take political labels at face value. That's how you get 1 liberal (sam seder) vs 20 conservatives, and it turns out to be 1 jew vs 20 weird nazis.

They could be intentionally obtuse. Surely they're intentionally provocative, the question is whether this is because of ignorance or malice. My guess is it's something in between, where they're smart enough to know what they're doing but care more about the money. I mean they surely vetted the fascists they got on with Mehdi Hasan because most of those people are creators with content out there for all to see, so they knew exactly what views they were platforming and normalizing to a wide audience.

I don't think they're ideologically fascist, but I do think they're evil, in the same way capitalists are evil: they always consciously choose their self-interest over accountability for the consequences of their actions (which they are well aware of). And if push comes to shove, they'd fight dirty (e.g. aligning with fascists and fascist narratives) to protect themselves from said accountability.
