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!

like, how do you really approach the average american and just like, empathetically convey that they need to raze this fucking barn

i mean especially the groups out there who historically had some level of buy-in to the system and are in denial about their exclusion - like what is the metaphorical eye-piece nada can force onto their eyes to see the basic truth: we gonna have to do something unpleasant to change this sitch

Takes very long, but it might be the only reliable way. Plus comes with the risk of making people completely give up

Yeah it's a lot of work but if done right it can really snowball (an irg of 15 can do a ton more than an org of 3). And giving up can even be a better outcome than funneling energy into bourgeois electoralism. They'll have stopped doing a negative thing and might still be leverages to do political education.
