A collective of left-wing Socialist/Marxist YouTubers and their affiliated subreddits. A reference to Anarchist Peter Kropotkin's 1892 book, 'The Conquest of Bread.'
Breadtube presents itself as a platform for well-studied discourse, with its proponents projecting expertise on their chosen topics. However, a prevalent theme among them is a reliance on recurring fallacies, pseudo-economics, sophistry, and, at the extreme end, the endorsement of science denialism and moralizing to justify violence against those they disapprove of. The content often discourages critical thinking, as self-refutation becomes unavoidable. Additionally, a trend of science worship replaces the scientific method. Dissenting opinions within the community are met with swift bans on platforms like Reddit, Imgur, or Discord. In instances where outright banning is not possible, dissenters may face rejection statements, characterized by accusations of moral wrongdoing, casting them as an evil outsider incapable of comprehending the true beliefs of the group.
Breadtube rose to existence for the same reason every sheep needs its herd, and every herd needs its shepherd. Additionally, a significant amount of YouTube money backs it, attracting numerous midwits or those less discerning. While they may portray themselves as the resistance, all of their positions align with the establishment, making them useful idiots whom the establishment undoubtedly appreciates.

"The Breadtuber delivered a passionate monologue on leftist ideologies in their latest YouTube video."

Get the Breadtubemug. A website that was once a gathering place for fun and friendly memes which was completely ruined by botted accounts dedicated to pushing left-wing/leftist political propaganda to the front page for the young user base to see and hopefully indoctrinate. Providing any actual evidence that goes against the hivemind results in being immediately downvoted and banned despite the reason simply having an opinion they don't like regardless of you're evidence against their narrative. The political bot accounts use each others memes and recycle them with small changes and intentionally leave out key facts to push lies and to push the idea that fact checking them itself is an act of evil. Without any actual moderation to stop this, it's become a dystopian nightmare. Almost as if John Oliver himself became a website.

Get the Imgurmug. When a bunch of people protest something they don't understand, simply advocating for change from points of extreme outrage or emotion rather than rational thought. They believe they have a monopoly on compassion and justice. They will never attempt to have an honest discussion about what they are protesting as they are too either cowardly, misinformed, mentally ill, or indoctrinated to do so. They will shout down, shame, or demonize any other point of rational thought or view that conflicts with their own rather than try to understand, listen, or learn. They aren't actually protesting, they are having an outrage party.
Guy 1: Did you hear about that mass shooting the other day?
Guy 2: Oh yea, it was horrible.
Guy 1: There's going to be a protest against guns again.
Guy 2: Oh boy, here we go again.
Guy 1: You should go down there and try to talk some sense into them.
Guy 2: There's no point, it's not a protest. It's an outrage party.

Get the Outrage Partymug. Cultural Marxism
"Woke" is a colloquial term used to describe the manifestation of the latest iteration of Marxist principles as they are when applied to culture rather than economics. They've been targeting culture instead of economics roughly since the 1950s, when the Frankfurt school's adherents (Adorno, Marcuse, Horkheimer, Löwenthal etc) started moving to the States and other western nations. That's when they realized that focusing on economics and the class structure wasn't going to work, so they decided to try focusing on grievance groups instead (women and minorities), ergo you got MLK and his movement (and its modern versions like BLM), rainbow movements, feminist movements etc, which all get their philosophical and moral frameworks from cultural marxism.
Bonus fun fact: This definition is so accurate that Wikipedia has page dedicated to it calling it a, "far-right conspiracy theory", lol.

Normal person: Hey did you see the new intern? He's doing well.
Woke person: Don't assume their gender! They are just part of the patriarchy! I'm so tolerant of everything as long as it fits perfectly into my made-up worldview that I'm going to force everyone else to be part of and agree with! Agree with our group or you're the enemy bigot! You're either oppressed or an oppressor!

Get the LASmug. To destroy something through incompetence while also being oblivious that you are doing so, usually gradually over time.
An unfortunately common issue that arises in many companies and games which often leads to their eventual demise or subjects them to self-mockery, reflecting a departure from their former glory.

"The once-beloved gaming studio, known for its innovative titles and passionate community, eventually rosewatered into obscurity after succumbing to forced and unintuitive crossover branding. In an attempt to chase short-term profits, the company's decisions, marked by incompetence and a lack of understanding of their core audience, led to a gradual decline, self-mockery, and an ultimate departure from the quality that once defined their games."
