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

/r/conservative is not comprised of real conservative people, it only exists to expose "normie" redditors to MAGA propoganda while giving the MAGA movement the pretense of legitimacy.

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?

[–] Kusimulkku@lemm.ee 12 points 2 days ago (1 children)

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.

It's hard for me not to engage with their opinions. Like "no, that's not how that works," "There's more to it than that," "there are several things wrong with what you said." There's no point trying to argue on the Internet, but some of their comments make me angry. I especially hate when they support something just to "own them libs" like that takes priority over peoples' well-being.

[–] Kusimulkku@lemm.ee 1 points 2 days ago

It can be very engaging. But if you consider that they don't have any internal consistency, you always lose

It's an old meme-- have at it :)

[–] Ledericas@lemm.ee 4 points 2 days ago (1 children)

You have to realize that the con subs on reddit are mostly engaged by Russian trolls to stoke arguments and traffic. Reddit periodically goes through these bans and temporarily gets rid of the trolls and the site becomes much more pleasant and quiet

[–] socsa@piefed.social 1 points 1 day ago

Same as the main leftist coms on Lemmy.

[–] straightjorkin@lemmy.world 13 points 2 days ago

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

[–] EndRedStateSubsidies@leminal.space 14 points 2 days ago (1 children)

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.

When progressivism moves toward conservatism, conservatism moves toward regressivism.

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

[–] Kusimulkku@lemm.ee 5 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Huh I haven't bumped into those communities

[–] cm0002@lemmy.world 4 points 2 days ago

Doesn't surprise me, the serious ones always have their wonderful links downvoted to oblivion lolol

[–] HungryJerboa@lemmy.ca 2 points 2 days ago

Maybe if it didn't get hijacked by crazies and conspiracy theorists after a few months.
