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!

this is happening because rightwing media tries to split things along a "regular joes vs elites" line that fundamentally cannot explain the reality of "worker vs capitalist"
capitalist media reflexively closes ranks around a fellow capitalist, but their audience has already independently clocked the CEO of the Social Murder Factory as a huge piece of shit and put him in the "elites/bad people" bucket, then runs headlong into this contradiction of their "media for the regular joes" defending an "elite"
It's the same aesthetic bullshit where "elites" is anyone/anything "woke" and real American working class culture is anything anti-woke. So like public schools are elite but Musk is oppressed actually. (DeSantis whole stupid book was based on this) Hopefully this provides some clarity for the people who were duped by that shit.
