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!

And it never changes...
At least some communities online are open to talking about it, I guess. Still feels like brainworms leeching off their hosts, though.
This shit's been going on since at least 1349
Yeah...it's such a struggle lol. I appreciate you adding to my old screenshot, though. I missed how well-read hexbears are.
IIRC there's ancient Greeks complaining about similar shit from like 3000 BC lol. Boomer is a state of mind and Plato's parents probably whined he spent all day ~~shitposting~~ debating with plebs at the forum instead of watching goats or whatever the fuck.
The 1349 one stands out to me because I learned about it when the Brandon regime was busy cancelling all the pandemic health measures for the economy
Yeah, it's fucked because (in my experience anyway) those same people pushing that narrative look down on others as though they're beneath them. They look up to those wielding power because they want that power for themselves and it makes them feel important by buying into the 'grindset'.
