Welcome to General Chat - GAW Community Area
This General Chat area started off as a place for people to talk about things that are off topic, however it has quickly evolved into a community and has become an integral part of the GAW experience for many of us.
Based on its evolving needs and plenty of user feedback, we are trying to bring some order and institute some rules. Please make sure you read these rules and participate in the spirit of this community.
Rules for General Chat
-
Be respectful to each other. This is of utmost importance, and comments may be removed if deemed not respectful.
-
Avoid long drawn out arguments. This should be a place to relax, not to waste your time needlessly.
-
Personal anecdotes, puzzles, cute pics/clips - everything welcome
-
Please do not spam at the top level. If you have a lot to post each day, try and post them all together in one top level comment
-
Try keep things light. If you are bringing in deep stuff, try not to go overboard.
-
Things that are clearly on-topic for this board should be posted as a separate post and not here (except if you are new and still getting the feel of this place)
-
If you find people violating these rules, deport them rather than start a argument here.
-
Feel free to give feedback as these rules are expected to keep evolving
In short, imagine this thread to be a local community hall where we all gather and chat daily. Please be respectful to others in the same way
Rules For the rest of the Site also accessible on the sidebar.

Somewhat ironically. Some of the People most publicly in favor of wanting to revive American Communities and Culture. Are often the most opposed to actually taking tangible and constructive efforts to get to their stated end goal.
Just an observation of the contradictory nature I’ve observed of various people and what they say they want. And what they actually support in practice.
You cannot take back anything within the matrix.
Breaking out of Matrix is a prerequisite for full freedom. We are almost there.
I mean I was more thinking along the lines of people complaining about the lack of local communities for instance where people know each other.
Then immediately turning around and telling people who are justifiably pissed about cost of living, lack of jobs etc. and are voicing those complaints aloud. To drop everything and move towns, counties, even entire states where it’s cheaper.
You build a community by putting down roots. Not job hopping to new States every 5 years chasing a Dollar and leaving behind friends and family constantly.
Or the people who complain pop-culture and entertainment is relentlessly dominated by Leftists . But relentlessly oppose any attempt at reclaiming the schools and other places producing our Artists, Animators etc.
Or refuse to acknowledge that directing everyone into the trades is ultimately not a great long-term solution. As you are ultimately ceding White Collar work. Where an inordinate amount of societal decision making is done. To your ideological opponents.
And that’s not even counting the guys LARPING as Libertarian Financial Gurus and Crypto Millionaires. Endorsing the same scummy tactics of screwing over everyone below you to make a Buck. While simultaneously lambasting the current crop of lunatics in the Financial Sector for doing the same thing.
