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!

"...my brother did something bad and illegal to someone else for nationalistic reasons and I insisted he should face consequences, my mother responded with: “He’s your brother, you’re supposed to defend him! That’s the commie ‘justice and equality’, is it? Ah, I knew it.” Her words are also much stronger in Serbian, if you take the slur “komunjare” as well.)

OP was raised by nationalists (i read it that way anyhow). I dunno how old OP is or the politics of their region but I give em' credit for coming this far. If they're admitting 'socialists were right' and outing their parent's morals as "wrong" who knows what else they'll come to learn?

For real. They are one of Today’s Lucky 10,000. And it seems like they are figuring it out despite a complete immersion in a fascist family and culture. Croatia switched to an openly fascist government after the Yugoslavian tragedy. Good for them I say.
