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!

I dont listen as religiously as I used to, and life has dealt many challenges to me and the dry boys (and co), but its nice to see them still standing. Its been nice to know that at least somewhere out there are people who are just as outraged by the state of the world as I am. Cheers

radioactive-to-legacy-media takes like "why can't we even ask for universal healthcare anymore without being infantilized?" or "unions help workers"

For me, their best contribution has been strong anti-imperialist takes all the way up to "give Iran a nuke." You could occasionally find support for left-ish domestic policies without straying too far from the mainstream -- it's anti-imperialism that was banished to the fringes.

That and their actual positions on Venezuela (except for platforming Mamdani, but I am directly blaming Will for that one), China, and Russia has always been good. It's not just a general anti-war stance.
