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!

yeah, fascism and racism have a close relationship, for example.
fascism can't sustain itself without an 'other' out-group they can focus people's anger at.
preferrably a minority that has a harder time defending itself and putting the ruse into question, but it can technically even be an entire other nationality.
