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!

It disgusts me at a deep primordial level that so many cultural norms in the west are rooted largely in one great overriding sentiment: caring about things is for stupid weaklings, and apathy is smart and for the strong.

Omfg me too, it makes me passionately angry to the point of inarticulate screaming.

Fucking same. I always talk to people about individualist mindsets vs communalist mindsets. We are just so brainwashed into being individual that we (see:white westerners) don't have community, don't care about other people, don't care for our elders....And that's just it. I hate it

And then there are bullshit things you're expected to care about, but ultimately just reinforce the status quo. Defend freeze-peach but if you use that same to talk about the US exploiting people in another country for our amusement, all of a sudden, that's cringe.
