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!

It's as if these people don't understand that, yes, I actually want to help create a better place by being a good person.
My first impulse towards someone isn't a cold calculus of thought about use and transaction.
It's insane how the current mythos inculcates that selfishness into people so much, you will see everyone walking around claiming selfishness as the foundational core trait of humanity... Completely ignoring that it's our bonds of community that are our real strength in nature.
The dying older generation has a point, though they attribute it to the wrong thing. They point to the downfall of the church in society as what made things go worse...
It wasn't the religion directly. It was the community that was, in some ways, making things better.
I just want to live in a world where people are taught these things: critical thinking, creativity, compassion and community. If you want a 5th "c" for physical activity like we probably should, "calisthenics" could be the last.
Sounds like communism to me (which is cool and good)
