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!

How many of you have high paying jobs, and how have you prevented your material means and social circles from eroding your leftist convictions? (hexbear.net)

I am on the precipice of one and don't want that to turn me into a disengaged normies, lib, or chud. I know that a local DSA chapter was financially backed by a person of incredible means, so I wonder what keeps such people left wing or at least SocDem.

Sure but unless you're a soulless freak like buttigieg you still see it, and when people fight against it, you provide support or at the very least shut up and get out of the way. You're not gonna be out there voting for Biden or whatever.

Also you can provide material support to folks which imo is one of the best forms of praxis there is.

Yeah, it's good to highlight ways people can help (or at least get out of the way) that don't require as much of a commitment. Because not everyone is fully committed, at least not at first, and doing a little can lead to doing more.
