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.

I met a guy in a bar, and they asked me why the democrats lost (we don't live in the US)

I replied with something along the lines of "because they didn't condemn the genocide in Gaza" and they responded with "isn't that hypocritical? The left claims to be against antisemitism"

I tried to explain the usual antizionism isn't antisemitism, but before I finished they responded with "but we have to give the [antisemitic slur] something"

I had to leave for my turn on the karaoke, but after that they came up to me apologizing and explaining how they hate both sides

I don't want to live in a shitty web comic

Are you sure that's really "crafting opinions out of thin air" like you say, or is that more just crafting public-facing opinions out of thin air? Because I'd think that someone saying whatever they think is socially appropriate in order to avoid confrontation, that that doesn't really preclude having genuine opinions, even if underdeveloped and unstable — it just means that their ideology sees the avoidance of social confrontation as the highest priority.

I see what you're saying and i wish I had the same faith in the other adults in my life. I'm not ruling out the possibility that I'm being unfair but it's hard to imagine mike at work has thought about the middle East even one time in the last month

Yeah, you're probably right
