We are a Pro-Conservative forum. Posts must have a clear pro-conservative, or anti left-wing bias. We are interested in promoting conservatism and discussing things that might get ignored elsewhere. All sources are acceptable, however reputable sources with a reputation for factual reporting are preferred.
-
Dissent is allowed in the comments, but try to be constructive; if you do not agree, then provide a reason which is backed up by references or a reasonable alternative interpretation of the provided facts. That means the left wing is welcome to state their opinions, but please keep it in good faith.
A polite request, not a rule, if you feel the need to report a comment, please don't reply to it.

Guys a conspiracy theorist. Definitely for the best.
That isn't a conspiracy. There is a real laptop owned by Hunter Biden.
Things I am in favour of conserving:
The environment
Multigenerational family structures
Indigenous sovereignty
Oral traditions
Unions
Technological progress
Trans rights
Historical records
Mythologies and religions
Pagan traditions
The Palestinian people
Ukraine
Civil rights advances
Abandonware and lost media
Indigenous holy sites
Native species
I want to conserve lots of stuff. Am I a conservative?
Conservatives are not a monolith.
That said, "Indigenous sovereignty" is very right wing. Welcome!
Yeah I think that the white monarchist government of my country is illegitimate and that ownership of the land should be returned to the indigenous people. If the white people don't like it they can go back to England
Also since the government is illegitimate, cops are actually occupying soldiers and killing them is ethically A-okay.
Cool, cool. How do you feel about Indians and Chinese (as in the subcontinent) in Britian?
How about Syrians in Sweden?
Do you honestly believe it is logical to equate colonialism to immigration?
Yes actually. Why wouldnt they be the same thing?
You must not be very familiar with the impacts of colonialism then. Take your time and read these:

Equating the two is laughable. You are equating
-
conquest
-
the intentional destruction of a people's civilization/government
-
slavery
to
-
the people trying to escape said destruction/lingering impacts
-
the people moving to our nations for the hope of working for a better life, who have lower crime rates than the existing population, and are a net boon to the economy
It is beyond ridiculous, and a miscarriage of history.
