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 made the mistake of balking at some particularly unhinged Ukraine/Russia rhetoric offline yesterday and got called a vatnik, a tankie, a Russia lover and I was even suspected of being pro-Israel and apparently a nazbol Aimee Therese follower or something

I'm not even invested in this shit, I just find the insane saber-rattling and warmongering unsettling desolate

When someone tells you Putler's going to invade Estonia, Poland and Finland for Lebensraum next if he's not stopped in Ukraine, just nod your head solemnly

I just go quiet when anyone start yapping Lib or Chud shit and just say "uh hun, yeah" and don't give them anything till they get bored and go back to talking about other shit.

Same

I'm not confrontational offline at all.

There's nothing to be gained from it honestly, being confrontational mostly just makes people double down. There's barely anyone reachable in the US anyway.

True, but I'm also not confrontational online with people I know irl.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 3 months ago (1 children)

I really not confrontational at all. Again, it's generally not worth it regardless of the subject.

Also true
