      It is a community for sharing and discussion of any left video content and ideas. So, if you can make or find content with a left perspective that focuses on bread, sure! But the name is actually in reference to left author Peter Kropotkin’s The Conquest of Bread. But, I mean, bread is good, too.

          Not necessarily. Content could be related to philosophy, history, economics, art, literature, or other fields of discourse.

              Because it is. I think @redpen is trying to say that individual posts/videos may not be explicitly political, but the BreadTube community as a whole definitely is. Kinda the whole point is to take a leftist lens to whatever topic of discussion. There’s not necessarily anything wrong with being political, but there’s not much sense in downplaying it IMO.

      Breadtube is a section of youtube of left leaning content creators that focus on a wide array of topics with some sort of leftist lens of analysis, there a lot of video essayists, but there’s also streamers, shitposters, and daily posters.

      Some of the big names are Philosophy Tube, Contrapoints, FD Signifier, Beau of the Fifth Column, Vaush, Xanderhal, Suris and a whole bunch of other content creators.

      Breadtube as a name comes from Conquest of Bread which is a pretty foundational writing for a lot of leftist thought.
