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 can't tell if you're doing "both sides", "all lives matter", or "whataboutism". Other people care about things outside of meaningless platitudes.
whataboutism
If you live in Russia, opposing your own government's involvement in the war is quite different than an American opposing Russia's involvement in the war.
The former is advocating peace, the latter more dead Ukrainians and Russians.
How would identifying with Palestinians make you less empathetic and rush to the defense of the US?
