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!

Both parties can be very driven to seek out information that is distressing. Idk about them, but I do it bc i feel a constant need to be aware, to know what's happening, both bc i feel it might some day help me to change things, and because remaining ignorant feels like abandoning some duty. Whereas they're seeking out bs about "illegals" doing crimes. But they think they're being informed about threats they face, and that they need to keep seeking that "information" (fash propaganda) out to be "informed" and protect themselves.
The reasons and goals are quite different, but both groups are exposed to a great deal of stress.
