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!

Though the struggle sessions can be exhausting, I do think it's healthy for a community to face fierce resistance to everything you fucking say, even from your allies. I appreciate the way that you tell me I'm wrong <3
I want to fully agree with that, but when some insufferable lib does the "can you kindly point out where in this (false equivalence statement where the lib said that all work done for pay is equally as exploitative as sex work/trafficking can be) that I actually made a false equivalence? I'll wait" song and dance, it's worse than arguing with a wall. It's like arguing with a steaming fermenting pile of shit.
I usually respond once in good faith (if someone didn't already), and move on to dunking and ppb if they don't respond in kind
Those seem like fair rules of engagement. I feel like we should try to reach them first, but if they get all smarmy, it's open season. This is the only place on the Internet where we can actually slap that shit down without getting immediately banned.
They'll be saying (CW: Holocaust reference):

"Can you kindly point out why I am being transported away in a box car kind sir? I believe you are violating the law and didn't follow proper protocol" until it's too late. The sad part is that they'll be the last ones to be treated that way, and anyone who would have saved them will have been harmed already"I'll wait"
