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!

My experience is that they know that their ideology is based on being a selfish asshole, but they are so cowardly and doomer that they have chosen the "if you can't beat them, join them." path and are desperately trying to get rich to "win" the game of capitalism to escape the working class or at least live comfortably. So many of them want to start a business or be an "entrepreneur".
They have sadly bought into the "eat or be eaten" fash brainworms.
those are the ones that fall in the latter category, where they know they're selfish assholes but try to play along with the fantasy that capitalism is compatible with the liberal ideals of "equality" to prevent being ostracized
Fair enough
