I know this platform is full of communists, but come on. Stop locking yourselves in an echo chamber.

    Rightists are overwhelmingly more open to corporate corruption. Conservatives are unrecognisable these day, and have let themselves be completely usurped by Libertarian politics which is innately about creating corporate autocracies and pushing other values that aren’t related or even necessary for Conservatism, and don’t represent the same values…

    …so OF COURSE, at this particular time in history when corporate corruption and the total capture of society, community, and even Capitalism (many corporations like Amazon, Ebay, Meta, being able to dictate terms to sellers and buyers alike, so it’s no longer a genuine two party Capitalism) - OF COURSE the thin disguise of Conservativism draped over that An Cap Libertarianism is going to be a wildly unpopular look.

    That lack of wide appeal/popularity, is going to be downvoted. That’s not censorship, it’s the community telling you that they don’t think you’re on their side any more. They don’t think you’re helping, create pro-social, community space and real world positive changes, pocket neighborhoods, diverse families of good values, freedom, rights, healthy socially positive and inclusive traditions, or being respectful of your own history let alone that of Western Democracy.

    So yeah, you’re going to be unpopular until you gather and fix your shit. Kick the Libertarians out and their free market philosophies, and make the idea that the government should aim for (and be used to create) a healthy society for the majority - a popular value again… For public amenities that help communities and families, governing for the people (not the corporations).

    But instead you’re all going to jerk of billionaires (enabling their corruptions, and our poverty/destruction) and complain about how climate change ain’t real, and the woke/trans people need to be removed from the community/family.

    Fake ass conservatives, don’t even know how to enact their values anymore, let alone realise the damage that Libertarian corporatism has done to them, to the conservative image.

    That’s why you’re unpopular - not because of Liberal Censorship, but because of Libertarian Corruptions to your fundamental ideological make up.

    Y’all need to have a rethink.

      You’re nuts. You just assumed a shit ton of stuff I and many other “rightists” (which i’m not) don’t believe. You can’t group every single one that has conservative opinions to match your description. I have opinions that resonates with the left and I have other opinions that some would consider conservative. If downvoting hides a post, wouldn’t you consider that censoring?

        Bwhahaha “you can’t generalize us in this general community we signed up to to be put in this category”.

        Yeah, I can. That’s the point. Anyways, I’m not about to talk to an an cap confused about why they’re maligned. I’ve explained as much as I’m gonna, you wanna goal post jump so you can say “Hey I skipped out on the category being discussed! So it’s not a valid general criticism any more because I personally escaped it!” is just moronic and childish. I don’t know you bub.

        YOU and THE POLITICS YOU’RE AFFILIATED WITH have become corrupt, corporate, it’s little more than billionaires who see Christian Nationalist Libertarianism as a means to lower their own taxes. That’s modern “conservativism”…

        …I mean, the fracking billionaire Farris Wilks trying to take over government in Texas speaks to that mindset (completely devoid of civic duty) and why it will get ALL OF YOU maligned… He provided the seed money for The Daily Wire… And has thrown the wool over your eyes with culture war BS that has nothing to do with conservative values. It’s conservative in name only, doesn’t conserve anything good about or for society.

        You can scream “not me!” - “not all of us” to the hills, but at the end of the day you asked the question and I gave you the answer.

        Populism and being in power ain’t mean jack shit if you’ve lost your core values and the name YOU are adopting (yes, it’s YOUR CHOICE to wear these ragged labels) have been usurped by a different ideology.

        So don’t give me that “I’m a conservative but not really conservative” BS when you’re not the topic. Your chosen label is unpopular for obvious reasons and is hardly known for aiding things like FOSS. The opposite then of that, then enlarged 1000 times and used as a weapon against a healthy society.

        Fix you values, or your labels, but don’t bring that trash like everything’s fine when it’s not.

          You’re lost in the sauce mate. It’s you and me. Not us and them.
