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!

What’s even your point, that since they didn’t invent these things the changes are unremarkable?
They’re not unremarkable in the slightest
My point is that acknowledging that these things have been an ongoing process for decades isn't self defeat. It's acknowledging reality.
It undermines any sense of urgency.
I for one do not need to reject historical fact in order to find a sense of urgency, but I didn't just fall out of a coconut tree. I exist in the context.
Who’s rejecting historical fact? And why is an academic understanding of how we got here even needed, on this site?
you have a lovely evening
realized I didn't reply and just wanted to throw a :rat-salute: back at you
