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!

Agreed. Its very disheartening. My center-left liberal family is generally well-intentioned but they have their moments that really display that the progressive viewpoints are entirely oppositional theatrics and not genuine ethical value.
Big one that stands out for me was my retired silicon valley aunt coming to visit, and took us out to a fancy restaurant. I told her how I had been helping out my neighbors who live in a few tents in the park next to us. She was legit offended that I referred to the camp community in the park next door to me as my neighbors. The lack of self-awarness was pretty staggering considering where we were when it was said.
