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!

How do you people maintain your sanity in the imperialist core? (hexbear.net)

Hi. I'm alienated, living in the imperialist core, I have no political representation, and none of my friends are communists. Except from this website I feel extremely isolated. How are the rest of you faring?

I don't. I try to do all the usual shit like being in nature and going to the gym or whatever, but it all feels hollow. I also hate my job and am lonely as fuck, even when I'm with the few friends I have, so that doesn't help. And most people around me are either full reactionary or vaguely libertarian. If there's anything actually worth pursuing, I've yet to find it.

I guess my one outlet is reading history and shit so I feel marginally more aware of why current circumstances are what they are, but idk.
