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!

I sort of tell myself that it's probably that I just hate how people are under capitalism, but sometimes I wonder if I simply dislike being around people in general.

There will still be horrible people in our everyday lives

Yeah but there will be less of them (cluster B disorders are less likely to form in positive developmental environments) and such behaviour won't be incentivized on a systemic level. Such issues would be taken more seriously by society because the goal switches from keeping the elite's profits high to human betterment.

We shouldn't underestimate how powerful deliberate changes to the environment and legal systems to maximize common good could be, the differences it would make even in a generation.
