Pantube is an independent collective of support, dissemination, and mutual aid, with a horizontal anti-fascist, anti-capitalist, feminist-transinclusive, and decolonial focus.

It was created to combat media hegemony and provide a space for developing joint strategies. We are part of the broad spectrum of online content creators.

Background

Pantube was born in the year 2021 as a necesity of various online creators and collectives that produce anticapitalis, feminist and decolonialist content online, the idea was to work and plan collective actions to defend ourselves from the online hate groups and to de-vistualizate.
The first time we met was in La Gaietana in Alella Catalunya on october of that year, and defined 4 guidelines that we are still using to this date:

  • We organize in a non-centralized and consensus-based manner; there is no leader or hierarchy.
  • We have working teams and committees to address specific issues.
  • We do not want to collaborate with political parties.
  • We do not want to collaborate with people who display racist, homophobic, transphobic, sexist, or ableist attitudes.
