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!

That’s not a very nuanced perspective I enjoy that my grandfather lived through the two wars he fought in

Actually I’m pissed, don’t be so goddamn disrespectful to the people who died and suffered either serving their country or doing what they needed to get by with no other choice you ignore the socioeconomic reasons for joining the military. You ignore all the reasons for why one could have to join or have a good reason to. You lack the nuance of understanding the positions of immigrants, working class, and trans people too. No but you are right fuck them. They were awful selfish people for doing what they needed to provide for their families, they are awful for wanting a stable place in society and steady income. They are awful for wanting healthcare and not wanting to live destitute. They should have just died in poverty or stayed in their own countries and had their own families rot

(I don't know how to do a spoiler but this is something a person in a leftie discord server posted when we were laughing at veterans like 2 years ago, they got banned promptly)

Damn I thought this was a setup for revealing your Vietnamese grandpa

above the comment bar, second from the right, there's a small diamond/square with an exclamation point in it. clicking that will put a spoiler template in your comment, which looks like this:

spoiler ___

the second "spoiler" can be replaced with a custom tag of your own

Thanks, I am using a mediocre app (Connect) and I couldn't see that option there

I straight up told my father in this argument I would straight up disown him if he did that. You don't get to invade other countries as a professional murderer just because you have to make ends meet.

Reminds me of that one fucking Israeli, "If I don't take this house, someone else will!"

Boo, fucking, hoo. You don't get to torment and ruin someone just because you might end up homeless if you don't.

Fuck you.
