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

    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.
