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!

It's been illuminating for me to watch some of the people I know who seem to have decent politics reveal that they have no empathy or morals, while others I would have written off politically are genuinely caring people who can be reached with the right message

Ironically they themselves have now become tiny dragons who hoard their own wealth for the purposes of indulging in decadence, for in their own words, the world has betrayed them and now it's their time to betray the world.

Redirecting alienation and rage at our nonfunctioning society away from class solidarity and into this attitude has been the most successful propaganda campaign in the history of the world. This kind of "fuck you, every man for himself" attitude even from the people who recognize the harm the current system is doing to them has been an amazing boon to the bourgeoisie.
