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!

Some libs are uncomfortable to the realization that yes you can call out your opponent for being fucking crazy and call them weird, and also that the term weird used as an insult to marginalized groups now being turned against those that would oppress them is in my perspective a legitimate act of praxis by coupling the term weird to individuals way too obsessed over what kind of genitals people have and making sure your kids can't read books (while also being the kind of people that likely fuck random pieces of furniture).
By disengaging the term from the groups that would be oppressed by it instead connecting it to the oppressors there has been an act of cultural/linguistic liberation which makes fascists angry and uncomfortable because they in their minds are not supposed to be the "out group" like "those people" and so out grouping them makes them realize their mode of thinking is not normalized in society (an existential fear of all fascists and reactionaries).
