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!

Not trying to be a pick me ass millennial but holy shit the millennial generation has been a fucking appalling disappointment. So many terrified articles written by boomers when we were coming up in our early 20s about how much things were gonna get shaken up. Then seeing 95% of my cohort become clueless tepid shitlibs at absolute best who are constitutionally incapable of imagining even a slightly better world.

Anyway the idea that politics would naturally drift left with generational change was brutally murdered by first millennial presidential candidate Pete Buttigieg and his unbelievably crackertacular high high hopes dances.

The only piece of advice I would give younger people is don't listen to your elders, especially about politics. They are housebroken pieces of shit.
