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:

  1. Always follow .world instance rules

  2. 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.

  3. 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.

  4. Highlight Contradictions: Sometimes the best content points out inconsistencies and hypocrisies in conservative talking points. Creative commentary is encouraged.

  5. 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.

  1. 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.

  2. 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.

  1. 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]

  1. Community Respect: Disagree with fellow members all you want, but personal attacks aren’t welcome. Save the criticism for the ideas, not each other.

  2. 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.

  3. 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!

Many here dislike ground news and media bias check. Dunno about adfontes and the other. In any case, I gave you the answer. You’re welcome to extrapolate from it, but that was all I intended

Do you see how that might be a problem though? This is like arguing with right wingers. "All the news stations are corrupt and nothing can be trusted!"

At some point you guys are just rejecting everything and deciding to only use stuff you like which is precisely what you accuse the right of doing with shit like fox news.

Maybe WaPo used to be left leaning. I don't think their actions and editorials over the past 6 months support that statement to be true at all. There are fewer and fewer trusted news sources, as they become mouthpieces for billionaire shitheads, if not the fascist leaning current regime. It's a shame. Also, for what it's worth, the article is blocked for me too, and I have pretty strong blockers running. I could just get an archive link, but to be honest I can't be fucked to do so.

I’m a fan of specific, actionable information. I don’t trust wapo due to bezos personally killing stories and advertisements, per his needs as a billionaire. That said, my statements earlier weren’t my opinions, they were my observations of Lemmy’s preferences and reasons. I was just here to offer agnostic information, until you began asking for extrapolation

Please keep in mind that despite being downvoted, you are not alone with your opinion. I for my part find your argument very compelling. So please don't let yourself be overwhelmed by the echo chamber!

I'm used to it. Lemmy is one hell of an echo chamber too. It's actually insane hopping on here and reading comments and then going outside and talking to normal fucking people lol.
