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:

  1. Always follow .world instance rules

  2. 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.

  3. 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.

  4. Highlight Contradictions: Sometimes the best content points out inconsistencies and hypocrisies in conservative talking points. Creative commentary is encouraged.

  5. 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.

  1. 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.

  2. 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.

  1. 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]

  1. Community Respect: Disagree with fellow members all you want, but personal attacks aren’t welcome. Save the criticism for the ideas, not each other.

  2. 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.

  3. 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!

Lol it's so stupid to me that you think anyone who disagrees with you is "evil". Good thing you've taken the opportunity to tell us though so now we can all hold you in super high esteem. You should be proud of how much virtue you have.

Seriously though, people like you advocate for giving out clean needles to drug users because it's the "kind" thing to do. You don't want to stigmatize them and you don't think they're capable of doing the hard work necessary to better their situation. Unfortunately all it does is enable their self destructive behavior. Junkies are made, drug paraphernalia is used as currency on the street, communities suffer. That isn't compassion, it's horrifying. People like me advocate for personal responsibility, some discomfort in the short term, and hard work, not because we're evil, but because we think they're capable of more. We know that discomfort and responsibility are the path to bettering oneself. We don't want them to have to do it on their own, but we do want a level of commitment and some skin in the game. Literally nothing about that is evil. Evil is letting people waste away because you would rather virtue signal and allow them to make the same bad decisions that got them to that point in the first place. Evil is thinking them incapable of change. Evil is enabling their destructive behavior. You are the problem. You are the evil in society, and the sick part is you think you're virtuous.

Lol great argument

Spoken exactly like someone with zero experience of intravenous drug use.

Providing clean needles promotes harm minimization. Better yet, decriminalise drugs and provide addiction treatment for users. Also takes away a very lucrative source of revenue from organized crime.

I have no issue whatsoever with legalizing drug use. I don't think it should be criminal. I also don't think I should be forced to pay for anyone unwilling to get treatment. If you want treatment, great we're here to help and support you. If you don't want treatment, then that's your decision, but we're not going to bankroll your habit. Why is that controversial?
