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!

A theory that originated with James Burnham and we're all just supposed to ignore that part, and we're also supposed to ignore the fact that the Ehrenreichs were not talking about middle managers employed by corporations when they coined the term but government bureaucrats, academics, lawyers, artists, writers, journalists and doctors and that they have dismissed and repudiated the term since then, because it does not make sense in a post neoliberal world.
