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!

Sorry for another reddit-based post, but today reddit held a poll: Do you want the United States to become socialist? Most Americans voted No, and most non-Americans voted Yes.

Americans don't know the meaning of the word. We gotta educate these fools so they know what's good for them. Maybe get them to smoke a little less weed just for the study session so it sticks a little better

Yeah but it's easier to get people to accept their entire way of life is evil if you get them uncomfortabley high first

Can't tell you how true this is. Getting someone high is the first step to breaking someone out of an ideology, cult, religion, worldview, etc. It shifts their perspective in a way that makes them understand, for the first time, that there's more than one perspective, it breaks them out of philosophical solipsism based on assumptions and naivety.

Now, they don't need to be high 24/7 for that to be true. Just one or two shroom, acid or weed sessions will usually open a bit of a third eye in most healthy proles. Unfortunately, of late the wonders of these drugs have been abused by the unhealthy and by our class enemies in distorted ways like "improving productivity" with micro-dosing acid (blegh) or dulling ourselves and self-medicating depression.
