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!

Like a story can literally beat someone over the head with a theme or moral and people somehow come to the opposite conclusion?

It's like "Tyler Durden is so manly and cool" except every bit of media feels like it's misinterpreted like that now.

for a fascist, reality doesn't shape their truth, it's their "truth" that shapes reality. people are not becoming more obtuse, the fascist are willingly misinterpreting media because to not do so is seen as weak. if a piece of media passes the vibe check, then everything in it must confirm their worldview. do not engage them just call them stupid and shame them for their stupid views. these people will not learn because they are not willing to learn, the only thing that will distance them from being a dumbass is by shaming them.

Basically.

Don’t use intelligence for a charisma check.

THANK YOU! I've said this so many times. As communists we actually fucking learn about the world and how it works. If you can't dance in circles around libs/chuds then you need to read more. They got nothing cause they don't believe in anything other than Big dominates Small.
