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!

The Alt-Right Playbook described it best, IMO. Reactionaries fundamentally believe the system itself is perfect. It relies on hierarchies, which they view not only as natural and good, but preferable. The reason problems/contradictions occur is because people step out of their "place" in the hierarchy. "They aren't following the rules," they say, while ignoring the rules are wrong.
So chuds will accurately describe a problem that occurs under capitalism, but explain it by blaming it on whatever scapegoat. It's common in their rhetoric to say how an entirely white, protestant, patriarchal, heteronormative society would function flawlessly with no crime, corruption, or misallocated resources. They view everyone else as the problem and their group(s) as ontologically correct and good.
