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:
-
Always follow .world instance rules
-
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.
-
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.
-
Highlight Contradictions: Sometimes the best content points out inconsistencies and hypocrisies in conservative talking points. Creative commentary is encouraged.
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.
- 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]
-
Community Respect: Disagree with fellow members all you want, but personal attacks aren’t welcome. Save the criticism for the ideas, not each other.
-
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.
-
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!

Protection from what?
Protection from children seeing the word gay.
Protection from consequences, probably. Gotta have that cake and eat it, too.
That was offensive. Silence yourself, please. Thanks.
Sarcasm? It's hard to tell these days.
Yeah, I went a few layers there too.
I couldn’t answer in the original wording so I found it, annotated:
Unfortunately, I think the parent commenter meant protection from something closer to losing your job for saying racist bullshit to your coworkers
Or protection from losing your job for calling out your coworkers, clients etc.:
And
So yeah, some people only understand when you speak in plain swear language, and no, that can never mean "so I can badmouth anyone just because I feel like it"
You have quite the imagination. Are these coworkers in the room with you right now?
No, I do not work with idiots. But I do know them well enough: that kind of interactions are happening to other people, I can bet my life on it
You're saying you just made this up lmao. Try to focus on the reality happening around you my man
I am saying I have seen even weirder shit. But do go on suggesting what I should do with my life, just le me grab some beer real quick
I'm hearing you saying you'd prefer not to focus on reality
Clear your ears or eyes, probably. How hard is it not to imagine what other person has not said?
You yourself just said you've never even heard anyone saying the things you're acting angry about. Who are you to talk about opening your eyes and ears when all you care about is inventing something to be angry about
and I myself said I've seen even weirder things happen and said. Who are you to talk about the width and breadth of my experience?
What are these vague "weirder things" that have you convinced the story you made up is real
Let me guess... a guy claiming to have like 7x of my experience and doing a job so shitty so he gets fired and I am assigned to pick up the mess and make it work?
A user trying to claim "your system does not work" and just hoping no one notices he changes settings after the "work" was done, and done as per settings at that time?
A third-party "developer" not being able to even go through the OAuth 2.0 to get access token, then proceeding to complain the previous like ten tokens do not work?
An Airbnb host claiming someone else should cancel a booking for him, because "I used your software"?
A "volunteer" trying to trick other volunteers to get the supposed work done?
A guy who claims himself to be great interpreter being so shit at translation even someone without the knowledge of the language sees it?
What world do you live in lol? You got somewhere where people only behave rationally and act in good faith? Point me to this place
I'm curious where you made the leap from examples of people making bad or incompetent decisions, which obviously happen every day, to racism, which is where you started in this conversation
And while we are at it: I've seen no racism means there is none now?
I've also seen no one getting killed or raped. So people do not kill and do not rape then, right?
Guess what - there is no leap. "Your skin is of different colour, so you are worse than me" is the same idiocy as "I've done no work to become competent, but I think I am competent"
