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!

Can't imagine what you never experience. These people all lead comfortable lives.
They're constantly showing that they have absolutely no grasp of materialism. They read something about how (for example) unlike the US, the USSR had little to no tropical fruit in its grocery stores and they think "ah, clearly capitalism is the superior system" rather than, say, recognizing that the US was able to have cheap tropical fruit because it installed juntas in Central/South America and forced them to orient their economies around fruit exports.
Or ecologically devastate their own biomes so they can have fucking pistachios a la California, Nevada, Arizona, etc.
Plus afaik the ussr had ag programs working to produce citrus that was cold tolerant and could grow on the shores of the black sea? Like the problem was being worked on.
Evil communists are stealing jobs from American illegal workers!
