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!

Interesting times ahead.

I was wondering what you all see happening from this point and what sort of timeframes you think these things will play out on.

  • middle east conflict expands and intensifies, news of it narrows under tight restriction by legacy media
  • prices of energy, food and most consumer products steadily climb
  • interest rates are raised to "cool inflation" sparking stagflation, unacknowledged by media & further entrenching institutional distrust
  • class tensions heighten as newsreaders insist "economy is strong" while layoffs, homelessness, and untreated disease all trend upward
