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!

Things have never been explicitly "off limits," but there was also this expectation to tiptoe around conservative feelings. I just got sick of it. Why am I having to cater to their unhinged racism? Why aren't they catering instead to my race (I'm mixed)? So now I hide behind """"irony"""" (when really I'm just saying my actual commie opinions) and playing "devil's advocate."
"We should use the second ammendment to shoot scabs."
"Maybe China had the right idea when Mao was in charge."
"Banning conservatives opinions in the work place is probably a good thing."
"Borders should be abolished."
All of these are just "hypotheticals," of course. I would never actually suggest we should kill people for crossing a picket line (since I'm against the death penalty). Still, this sends some of them into a frenzy and now I'm not allowed at my sister's house anymore.
