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 don't just mean outrage or regular rage, I mean shock that someone was to the left of "legal weed and free college but only for those that operate a successful business for 3 years in a disadvantaged community" top-cop takes.

I think federating took them by surprise, looking back. For about a week, those smug liberals were at a loss to even fathom what Hexbears were saying, and could only chant bullshit about how we're Russian/Chinese bots.

Sure they still do that but they've slightly adapted to Hexbear presence.

Aren't they pretending to believe we're all Republicans doing a three year long larp as leftists?

That's their latest thing yeah. "Well see you both agree with Republican ideas of isolationism and therefore you must ACTUALLY be right wing."

Libs plz. We believe in US isolationism because we want the US to stop fucking around with the rest of the world and leave the rest of the world alone to figure itself out without being bombed and coerced into doing what the US wants the world to do. The right believes in US isolationism because they're nationalists who believe the US should only help ourselves and should never help anyone outside our borders. We're literally polar opposites. There is no overlap in those 2 viewpoints.

When we say "isolationism" we mean "quarantine"... think-mark

Republicans, famous isolationists who opposed the Iraq War

The paleocons did and still do favor isolationism. There are multiple tendencies on the right as on the left

im not so much a us isolationist but more so i want the usa to stop doing things overseas on account that it stops existing altogether

[–] [email protected] 21 points 1 year ago

Is it isolationism if you want to isolate the US to a place outside of this mortal coil?

Sounds exactly like what a poorly programmed bot would say.

I knew it wasn't going to be long before they started calling us MAGA Communists. They can't fathom people who can laugh at Trump and not be completly deranged over him destroying DEMOCRACY ™ so we have to secretly be supporting him.

[–] [email protected] 36 points 1 year ago

him destroying DEMOCRACY ™

How can Trump destroy what never existed? They treat the government and it's institutions like some sacred cow, the world would be better off if the US balkanized and disintegrated into an impotent power.

It's almost as if there was no democracy to begin with curious-marx

We will see coping mechanisms in the coming days that we cannot even imagine now.
