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!

not speaking to my zionist aunt isn't going to get her to change her mind (like you said), and it's not really going to help anyone. i'm not even bothering to speak up about her beliefs right now, because it's not the right time. she's too deep in her feelings. it's about picking your moments.
i mean, i also don't live in the same country as her so it doesn't really affect me. if someone's saying heinous shit around you all the time, and they won't respect your feelings, i get the decision to cut off contact to protect yourself. but i don't buy into this "guilt by association" stuff.
By guilt by association I mean "yes haha of course you are invited to dinner, we love you, please continue to promote Tommy Robinson and attend literal far right conferences even though your own family is now thoroughly mixed"
Treating these people like normal 100% signals that their behaviour is OK
