Anarchist writer Peter Kropotkin’s foundational text is called Conquest of Bread, and so bread is a bit of a meme word for online anarchists. Breadtube is a community of anarchist and left liberal YouTubers who make content about theory, media, and YouTube drama.
There are a few actual communist YouTubers bunched in with them too. A lot of them are annoying libs, so people here are dismissive of the community.
I will object that the reason that I am dismissive of them is that a large number of them are actively hostile towards AES states, communist, and anarchist theory, with many of them spending their time misrepresenting our “tankie” positions and arguments, usually by repeating Western propaganda as if it is decided history that should inform our decisions.
The idea that any of us who consider ourselves anti-imperialist should view them as anything other than an overall hostile online entity is beyond me. I view it as yet another demonstration of overall lack of media literacy.
