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!

The milqtoast response from the left-ish podcasts I've listened to has been disappointing. They're all focusing on how bad violence is more than the fact that Kirk was actively stoking violence. It's like they're trying to prevent copycats from coming from an end of the political spectrum that's too cowardly to do anything (the center) or too concerned with threat assessment to follow through with anything (the left). In the end, it's the end of the political spectrum where every accusation is a confession who expects anything to the left of hunting the homeless for sport to perpetuate or commit political violence, and it's not like they need a reason to commit political violence, anyway.
