Chat is a text only community for casual conversation, please keep shitposting to the absolute minimum. This is intended to be a separate space from c/chapotraphouse or the daily megathread. Chat does this by being a long-form community where topics will remain from day to day unlike the megathread, and it is distinct from c/chapotraphouse in that we ask you to engage in this community in a genuine way. Please keep shitposting, bits, and irony to a minimum.

As with all communities posts need to abide by the code of conduct, additionally moderators will remove any posts or comments deemed to be inappropriate.

Thank you and happy chatting!

because growing up, I only ever heard that word from neoconfederate types, and so I'm conditioned to associate that word with "the South shall rise again" bullshit

I specifically have my sort of ill-defined "tripartite division" idea, which is to say that of the people who self-identify as "Americans", that Seppo refers really more to capitalists and their lackeys than to anyone else, whereas American per se refers basically to class conscious members of what's often called the "American diaspora", and Usonian refers to... honestly everyone else.

The country is however called Seppoland and its people may be called Seppolanders.

This terminology is a bit opaque and hard to explain well, so I tend not to use it around others very often.
