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!

At least one is an unbelievably hard core nationalist. He worships the F35 and is considering becoming a cop or a navy stooge. He's also the most belligerent >.>

Boot-bros are the worst kind of techbros. I've known a few in college that went on to work directly for the military-industrial complex, and they were giddy about doing imperialism. One of them even directly compared himself to Doogie Howser from the Starship Troopers movie. i-am-adolf-hitler
