sEriOus ConSerVative ComMuniTy

Literally an oxymoron and trust me, I know because I have seen more of it than any of you combined.
It’s mostly all based on: we must make leftist cry. Such seriousness, the very core of it is fundamentally a joke.

No wonder right leaning instance is just shitposts and memes galore. This is basically what modern conservatism is.

The sad fact is America needs an actual conservative movement that isn’t just nazis in hiding. Im not sure it can exist anymore as conservatives havent had a “normal” party in 30+ years

Does it though? I mean that would be better than fascism, no doubt, but what are we trying to conserve, really?

Ideally fiscal responsibility and a resistance to government intrusion in the private sphere.

[-] LibertyLizard@slrpnk.net 15 points 5 days ago

By private sphere do you mean people’s private lives and activities or corporate political organizations? If the former, then I agree, if the latter then those are in dire need of disruption.

The former, the GOP used to be conservative liberals.

Conservatives haven’t had fiscal responsibility in probably near 50 years. People should absolutely stop equating conservatives to fiscal responsibility. It’s a lie conservatives keep telling each other.

The economy has always been better under democrats.

Which is what libertarians and a LOT of republicans want. But for some reason, Lemmy seems to hate libertarians even more than republicans. lol

A conservative visiting lemmy would say the exact same thing. The difference in my mind is that right-wing memes mostly leave me thinking, "No one says or believes that. Fuck you on about?"

Same thoughts I have talking to conservatives IRL. Having only been presented with the most outlandish fruitcakes, they've brainwashed into thinking there are legions of fucking nutcase left-wingers out there.

For left-wingers making fun, yeah, the memes more often reflect what the right actually says and believes.

(Yes, I'm biased, but I try really hard to be objective.)

Everyone is biased, in some way. There is no such thing as being unbiased.

Rules

  1. Any drama must be posted as an observer, you cannot post drama that you are involved with.
  2. When posting screenshots of drama, you must obscure the identity of all the participants.
  3. The poster must have a credible post and comment history before submitting a piece of history. This is to avoid sock-puppetry and witch hunts.

The usual instance-wide rules also apply.


Chronicle the life and tale of the fediverse (+ matrix)

Largely a sublemmy about capturing drama, from fediverse spanning drama to just lemmy drama.

Includes lore like how a instance got it's name, how an instance got defederated, how an admin got doxxed, fedihistory etc

(New) This sub's intentions is to an archive/newspaper, as in preferably don't get into fights with each other or the ppl featured in the drama
