Talk about whatever, respecting the rules established by Lemmygrad. Failing to comply with the rules will grant you a few warnings, insisting on breaking them will grant you a beautiful shiny banwall.

A community for comrades to chat and talk about whatever doesn't fit other communities

Every single time I get the rare chance to witness someone trying to organize more than ten people to do anything vaguely political, like talk about taking concrete steps to stop our government from unaliving children in other countries, it is plain how incredibly difficult the resulting onslaught of naysayers and argumentative donothings is.

I wish I knew what to say. I wish I could do what you are doing. But I have some truly insane circumstances that make fulfilling my responsibilities to my family feel truly overwhelming. So I can't even begin to consider working on an organizational project.
