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've said this before, my family is basically the Park family from Parasite
It's a big picture thing for me. Capitalism "benefits" me individually in that it enables my family to live in decadence right now, but it's not sustainable. The world is burning up and while it won't affect me initially, it inevitably will. The immense alienation and loneliness is also a direct consequence of individualist ideology.
My family is upper class, but not billionaires. We will be on the chopping block later than most, but we will end up there eventually. Capitalism, like fascism, has no end goal. While it might temporarily benefit me to close my eyes and pretend like neoliberalism is epic, I can't ignore how fucked we are if nothing changes.
