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!

Honestly I think this take is true, Dems and leftists are bad at using anger and hatred as tools for change, and worry about sounding too problematic when we do (hexbear.net)

Hatred and anger are good. I hate fascists and I'm angry at them for the atrocities they commit. But fed man will kill me if I take that anger out on their bodies.

Anyway I think we should be stoking hatred actually. It's good to hate fascists

I think the tendency for the left to not revel in hatred and violence is multi faceted, but it ultimately stems from two points.

A. We have objectives that are material.

B. All wars end at some point.

Reactionaries revel in violence and hatred because it’s really all they have to offer.
