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.
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 think that 4chan started a lot of this apocalypse that way.
Yea, but I'm a mod Who's Built Different™️
oof ouch my hubris
This one was already serious. The worst that can happen is it goes back to what it was before.
!conservative@lemmy.world because there is no clickable link here.
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
On one hand it'd be nice to be able to have some discussion about what sort of government involvement is needed in society. But at least in terms of the US, until the overton window puts some healthy distance between it and fascism, there's zero point in talking to cons online. They're literally unwilling to accept reality or basic facts-- what's the point?
I don't really engage often with them, I'm just interested in hearing how they view stuff, how it differs from me, how they reconcile this and that and so on.
LMAO, you should post that image on the new !conservative@lemmy.world
Well the biggest problem is that the fuck does conservatism want to conserve?
Selling off parks, betraying labor, violating people's right to self determination...
If you mean Republicans, those are open fascists.
The ones doing any amount of conservation are Democrats, but eventually one realizes nimby liberalism is just the slower road to fascism as it always bends the knee to corporate interests. We wouldn't be here if this wasn't true.
The "responsible adults" in the room are either spineless cowards, incompetent dupes, or malicious insider trading bad actors themselves.
Between the Business Plot and the lack of any action against cellar boxing American corporations into bankruptcy and predatory economic bubbles it becomes ever clearer the goal of the entire system is to fleece the poor masses to make the rich minority ever richer.
The fatal flaw of the internet is that you can find people who are into similar obscure stuff that you're into, but that also means the nazis can also find each other
There's like 2 others, and a whole instance. .ee and SJW each have a comm and hilariouschaos is the new "friendlier" ExplodingHeads instance lol
Only the best memes of conservatives, made in the most conservative region of the conservatorium.
If it’s not made in the conservative region, it’s just sparkling fascism.
This is peak US politics. No wonder y’all seem to be so fucked…
Having said that, best of luck with the community.
I would actually want to see conservatives (who doesn't currently support trump) come and debate stuff.
I don't agree with them, but I want to see what their perspective is.
Having a conservative community on a non-corporate site would help prevent the most extreme opinions of the right-wing and minimize russian propaganda (because we have manual applications). Give them a space here, allows them to be exposed to opposing views, preventing far-right extremism.
(Obviously, the trumpers are too far gone and we shouldn't platform them. Racism, sexism and stuff like that should Never be allowed)
Maybe a c/DebateConservatives type of thing?
I agree, but most Lemmings seem to be completely intolerant of right of center views. I've never seen any content in that community that's right of center without being downvoted into oblivion.
If Lemmings just don't want other views here, that's fine, it just kind of sucks when all I get is an echo chamber.
This seems to come from the assumption that right wing views have equal validity and exist on an equal footing, but they just don't.
Right wing autoritarian attitudes are just whatever is propped up by the propaganda of the prevailing hierarchy. They're blasted out of mainstream news outlets everyday. They don't survive on merit, but on funding.
Like honestly, if you want to hear what conservatives have to say, go watch their news, listen to their pundits, join their social media apps, but if you've got half a brain then you shouldn't be surprised that it's just a pile of callow, self-serving bullshit. You will be disappointed. You won't see a reasonable debate of the ideas.
Like this is an open system. Anyone can make an instance. You know why right wing instances just... aren't? Because they can't stop themselves from being bigots, which most people hate, actually, and gets them yeeted, so they don't thrive here. It's not some conspiracy or bias, it's just what happens when assholes aren't shielded by some big daddy corporation. They can't hack it.
"Right of center views" currently means lies, propaganda, and reality denial. I do not consider myself a leftist (though I do agree with leftists on a lot of things) nor a communist, but there is absolutely nothing of value the current right offers.
I do agree Lemmy (and Reddit) are echo chambers. The real solution? Go outside. However, you'll likely find most people are very apathetic (and easily fooled) but not necessarily right leaning.
It's not our fault that the actually reasonable conservatives were already drowned out by the raving lunatic fascist mobs.
gestures broadly at US federal government
After the last couple days, I want nothing to do with these fucking backstabbing traitors.
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
Turns out we can make the world a better place
By being funny.
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.
You'll just have to get your two minutes hate somewhere else, it's not a big deal.
I don't trust this.
It appears legit anyway. Haven't seen any posts in that !c from the usual trolls, it's only funny people now
There's a couple guys still trying to post shit from Breitbart but they get downvoted so badly now they never appear on hot.
It's true, you can trust me >:)
