But this bitchute is basically all neo-nazi, nationalist inspirational videos, arrogant authoritarian exposition, far right sleeper jackals, "men's movement", lunatics speaking in code etc.
I guess it is open to "all", however I do not know what that means. I suppose it is good to know where it is though!
I've been really struck this summer by the fact all my fringe friends are faced with this same basic problem.
That problem being, basically, secure & stable internet hosting. Whether it's video streaming or social networking or just private chat functions, everyone is concerned with opsec. And they f'ing should be. Nobody on Silicon Valley is your friend. Reporters are not your friends. Even the very protocols we communicate with have been compromised, but covert surveillance is less troubling than outright censorship.
So whether Atlanta Antifa or American Vanguard want to organize, both sides are faced with the same dilemmas as any respectable Flat Earth discussion group, is ISGP-style research cell.
And everyone out here on the fringes is very uncomfortable with the company we keep. None of us is
that kind of conspiracy theorist here, just like "Anarchist" or "Christian" sort of...have to be qualified.
Every cartel in Mexico wants secure comms. Using TOR puts you adjacent to pedophiles & terrorists. If you have nothing to hide, you have nothing to fear -- and if you have nothing to hide in 2017, that means the contents of your skull are completely unobjectionable to anyone. A rare feat.
Once a real alternative to Facebook / Twitter / Youtube exists, one of the ways we'll be able to recognize it will be the heavy, sustained presence of neo-nazis, far right sleeper jackals, MRA jihadis, lunatics speaking in Python, and, perhaps worst of all, Libertarians. Just because you don't like the company doesn't mean that tech doesn't work.
My concern with BitChute in particular is that tech companies run on money, not software, and white knighting for Total Free Speech in 2017 is just going to make them a target in an ongoing culture war they lack the resources or experience to survive.
