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!

Libs don't realise violence is built into the system and happens everyday. They don't realise violence is often the only way to undo these unjust systems. And they think you can over turn things operating within a system where the oppressors have a monopoly on violence and decide who gets to use it

"Violence has no place in our political system!" I say to a homeless man being thrown out of his wheelchair by police.
