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!

This is on the money. You're driven by the same urges the bourgeois were in the 1950s to call anybody to their left a commie, but it's 2024 and calling somebody to your left a commie feels hollow (particularly when that's what the Republicans have been calling you and the people you vote for your entire life). Tankie is a "new" way to call somebody a commie and it makes you feel a little bit erudite and nuancey.
