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 favorite is "we haven't had REAL capitalism for x years, it's all crony corporatism now". I actually got one of those comments this very week. LOL. Tell me you know absolutely NOTHING about anything in one sentence, plz.
The only thing that means is that the person is a Keynesian liberal or a straight up fascist who thinks that the companies are woke now

Paraphrasing but Barry's economics basically argues:
THIS ISN'T CAPITALISM IT IS SOMETHING ADAM SMITH WARNED AGAINST AND WE DON'T EVEN UNDERSTAND IT ENOUGH TO GIVE IT A NAME YET. - It's so infuriating someone can see the world in such a delusional and idiotic way and then spread that slop online to minimal criticism.
I found a YouTube link in your comment. Here are links to the same video on alternative frontends that protect your privacy:
