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 guys feel about losing your job or getting a knock on the door from the police about your political beliefs? (hexbear.net)

If you want to know who really has the power in this world just see how no one in public is allowed to speak on certain things, whether they are MPs in parliament, guests on TV, or otherwise. If I questioned Hamas "slaughtering 1400 Israeli civilians" in public or with coworkers, or worse yet, said you get what you deserve, I would 100% lose my job, and probably ruin my highly specialised career.

So presumably everyone else has to do a lot of sef-censorship as well?

I just don't talk about it and my coworkers don't bring it up? we have a no politics rule that's pretty strictly enforced, entirely to avoid making anyone feel uncomfortable. I haven't yet encountered a "this is actually politics but the libs don't consider it politics" situation yet.

In the UK a good one is the monarchy because they are so thoroughly endorsed, whereas I would like them all to go the way of Tywin Lannister in hit TV series The Crown.
