conservative
A community to satirize conservtive and right-wing "ideals".
This community (now) exists as a pressure valve, a place to process through humor the often frustrating world of conservative politics. Above all, this is NOT the place for serious conservative support/viewpoints/arguments. There are other places on Lemmy for that if you desire it.
Rules:
-
Always follow .world instance rules
-
Parody With Purpose: This is a space for humorous takes on conservative politics. We welcome satire, but draw the line at content that promotes racism, sexism, homophobia, or other forms of bigotry.
-
Memes Over Manifestos: This community focuses on humor and parody, not serious political debate. There are plenty of spaces for earnest conservative discussion, this isn’t one of them.
-
Highlight Contradictions: Sometimes the best content points out inconsistencies and hypocrisies in conservative talking points. Creative commentary is encouraged.
-
Public Figures Fair Game: Politicians and pundits can be satirized, but no targeting of private individuals, doxxing, or harassment.
Children of public figures under the age of 14 are also off-limits, a 16 year old has enough free agency to break with or adopt their parents views. An 8 year old kid doesn't.
-
No News Zone: Memes only, news or other serious content should be sent to the nearest relevant comm. Meme's of current events, however, are encouraged.
-
Clear Satire: Make your satirical intent reasonably clear. We’re here to mock bad ideas, not accidentally spread them. If you're unsure how it will be taken, feel free to DM the mod team ahead of time or explicitly tag it as satire in the body.
A note on ChadMcTruth: Chad's content is 100% satire, but his work can sometimes be hard to tell, but if he posted it be assured, its satire.
- Relevant Content: All posts should relate to conservative politics or ideologies in some way somewhere in your post. Either in the title or the meme itself.
For more general political memes please see [email protected]
-
Community Respect: Disagree with fellow members all you want, but personal attacks aren’t welcome. Save the criticism for the ideas, not each other.
-
Moderation Discretion: Mods will use reasonable judgment in applying these rules. We’ll be fair, but firm. These kinds of comms have a tendency to get off the rails, so we might seem overzealous in moderation sometimes.

For the moment, i'm allowing properly tagged NSFW content as long as its funny and relevant. Don't make me regret it.
And above all, HAVE FUN!

That link is a decade old discussion of why emos cut themselves, which is highly simplified. I would not put too much stock into that discussion, if it really is what you are drawing "inspiration" from.
Like whatever music you like, it doesn't have to be be your identity. I listen to all kinds of rap music, and I am not from the hood, I don't really do drugs, and the disrespect shown to women is not really my thing. But the songs are catchy, so I listen to them. Music has tended to be a separator at your age, even when I was in school. Rap kids vs rock kids vs country kids. Just be you, and listen to what you want.
I would also say Liberals aren't anti-rich. People can still have wealth under liberalism, it's more the ultra rich; billions and billions of dollars is wildly excessive and you don't really get there without the exploitation of others. You seem to like rock music; let me suggest a few bands.
The Whole World is Watching by The Walking Papers is a pretty great song imo; it's bluesy rock with some "aggressive" style singing. No screamo, but some power behind the voice.
Sound and Silence by Dead Poet Society is also a good one I've been listening to a bit.
