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!

They’re fucking passive. They should directly implicate the US. Instead of “We are on unceded land of the Salish people” we should say “The US government stole this land from the Salish people and genocided their tribe”

I get what you’re saying. At the same time, I’ve gotten so fed up with certain mayos that I almost completely disregard white leftists’ (often terrible) opinions about marginalized racial and ethnic groups. I’m never gonna scold some random aboriginal person for doing a Welcome to Country and any non-aboriginal who does needs to mind their fucking business instead of messing with native people.
