You're playing with fire, this is how thedonald started. It was all a joke until it wasn't. Then it became a cesspit.
It’s also how flat earthers started. 4chan started satirically memeing about flat earth. Then idiots saw it, missed the satire, and picked it up as a serious thing. At that point, 4chan went “this is funnier than any satire we could make” and stood back to watch the crazies launch rockets into the upper atmosphere.
I think that 4chan started a lot of this apocalypse that way.
4chan was sold in 2015 and that's when it took a hard right turn.
"Shoop da woop" was a popular 4chan meme dating to at least 2006. Also the whole "newfag", "oldfag" etc thing has been going on since forever.
Are those supposed to be far right slogans or something? This was normal stuff at the time.
My dad used to be on 4Chan all the time in the 2000s, he told me being called a fag was considered a form of endearment, not an insult. I've never heard newfag or oldfag be used by the far right, they typically go for actual insults instead.
There was definately a tone shift when the site was bought. People were usually mocked if they were actually right wing over there.
"fag" is a homophobic slur that was actually even more hurtful to use back in the early 2000s when LGBT people were a lot less accepted by society than today. That said your Dad is technically correct and it was a "term of endearment" among homophobes on 4chan which was largely comprised of straight white men in college had/has a self-deprecating sense of humor.
"Fag" is a homophobic slur and "shoop da woop" is a blackface meme and yes it was all very normal 4chan.
Flat earthers have been around (heh) for centuries. It's mostly a religious thing in order to rebuke science in order to keep people stupid. There's a passage in the bible that refrences the four corners of the earth that gets refrenced by these people as proof. It's a way to keep people in their cult, because the outsiders are the ones who are tricked into beleiving in round earth ftom scientists.
I’m more of a dinosaur earth guy myself
Yea, but I'm a mod Who's Built Different™️
Write it down as 700TB and it will be more accurate.
And C: instead of system32, to represent everything that was created using programs that rely on system32.
Nah, if you are deleting everything on your PC, you'd better report it as 700EB or 7HB...
!conservative@lemmy.world because there is no clickable link here.
This is peak US politics. No wonder y’all seem to be so fucked…
Having said that, best of luck with the community.
And they think they're the untouchable good guys.
Come on come all its time for cm002 to post the exact same shit that's already all over Lemmy but now in another place!
Y'all already have the entire goddamn website dedicated to shitting on conservatives 24/7. Making yet another place to do it is just repetitive and unnecessary.
I don't care for most conservative bullshit either, but at least it was nice seeing the random post that wasn't exactly the same as every other goddamn sub on this site.
Dude just block it if you don't want any exposure. Curate your own Lemmy.
How am I supposed to curate my own Lemmy when conservative subs are turned into crappy meme factory's poking fun at the conservatives which is already what all of the other subs fucking do.
This is like building a Starbucks across the street from another Starbucks and then telling me to find coffee somewhere else when all the fucking coffee places in a 10 mile radius have already been bought out and converted to yet another goddamn Starbucks.
Are we supposed to feel bad for fascist apologists? Republicans have always been unrepentant bastards or gullible fucking morons. Usually both because they're objectively impaired for both empathy and intelligence.
But not just conservatives, all Americans are dumber: https://www.the74million.org/article/across-all-ages-demographics-test-results-show-americans-are-getting-dumber/
Decades of obvious racism:

If they are so unfathomably stupid then how do you alleged geniuses keep losing elections to those morons?
Do you think it might have something to do with how unbelievably smug and elitist some of you guys come across?
I'm not even disagreeing with your specific points as I think they are generally correct, but you have to realize that pointing at a group of people and basically calling them too stupid to know any better is never going to get them to change or side with you. All it will do is make them hate you.
Several points.
One, look over my post history and you'll see I'm not a fan of the Democrats because they're marginally less bad conservatives.
Two, like I give a fuck if reality hurts their feelings, but I'm not being elitist favoring my side. Anyone falling for the false dichotomy doesn't understand reality to the point they could form opinions that matter. Like anyone that favors term limits is automatically a gullible rube that hasn't looked into it at all. The majority of people rely on received opinions and specious reasoning for almost everything because actual consistent coherent thought is a learned still.
Three, I'm being objective and not judgemental, hence the links. There's hard data everyone is just fucking dumber largely due to Republican efforts to sabotage education being met half way by Democrats.
And four, look at the link about gerrymandering. They spent decades literally cheating. Capping the house at 435 in 191X also massively empowered conservatives. Then you have to look into the end of times accelerationists and evangelical dominionists... Lots of cheating, sabotaging education, and obvious racism in law enforcement ignored.

Five, the term right wing comes from the French parliament that wanted to keep the monarchy in power. The founding fathers were college educated aristocracy that wouldn't have wanted white trash voting or owning guns (federalist paper... 27... Or 29?) and yet conservatives worship them.
The entire ecosystem is full of gullible assholes in authoritarian power structures where independent thought is punished.
They've always been garbage people.
how did you managed that?
Blackmail and bribery lmao jk, I just made a request on the support comm with a proposed set of rules, a week later and the rest is history lol

On some level I'd like there to be an actual conservative sub since I like to check in on the Reddit alternative's goings on and what their takes on this or that is. But I can understand why some wouldn't want to share a platform with those people. Some of the stuff is pretty bad
/r/conservative is not comprised of real conservative people, it only exists to expose "normie" redditors to MAGA propoganda while giving the MAGA movement the pretense of legitimacy.
