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!

The most unbalancing thing about becoming more politically aware is realizing how many things are compatible with fascism (hexbear.net)

It isn't all grey marching frowning guys and beating up ethnic minorities and suppressing art. People who show you personally great kindness, who make jokes, who enjoy music and good food - they find fascism compatible. Just endless numbers of seemingly nice things can happily coexist with and violently defend fascism. The juxtaposition will never stop sending me for a loop.

Reminds me of the essay Who Goes Nazi? by Dorothy Thompson although it is anticommunist lib shit. It would be a fun setting to rewrite from a leftist perspective.
