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!

When you're closer to the exploitation, you have to be more dehumanizing to live with the acquisition of profit.

If you can abstract far enough away from your part in exploitation, you don't have to inflict excessive suffering to justify the cruelty of the exploitation itself.

Throw in the fact that small business tyrants want to be millionaires, things get more unpleasant.
