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!

CPUSA is campist, which is a common tendency in every large political bloc. Those who dogmatically defend the US and NATO are not much different from those who dogmatically oppose them, intellectually speaking. When looking outside the overton window campists can seem like the only representatives of their ideological tendency, but they're just the most visible. Campists who support the status quo fly under the radar due to their sheer number; it's the default position for those who have not developed strong political opinions of their own.
There's a pretty big fucking difference between those who oppose the world's largest defence pact and deterrent to World War 3 and those who support it.
You're misinterpreting what I said. I said that those who dogmatically support or oppose NATO are not much different, in that their reasons are similar. That's why I referred to campism - the belief that the world is divided into large, competing political groups of countries ("camps") and that people should support the camp that promotes their ideology. It's a sort of lesser-evilism that people with all sorts of different ideologies fall into, and it can end up being used as a thought-terminating cliche. When you dismiss everyone with leftist ideologies by pointing to some campists who oppose NATO as the representatives of the entire "radical left," you are doing this yourself. It robs the discussion of nuance and turns it into a contest between sports teams.
Yes I heard you, and I disagreed with you because you equate people who want hundreds of millions if not billions of people to die so that the strongest and most brutal nations can expand, with people who directly oppose exactly that outcome. These things are not questionable or simply hypotheticals, we've tested it. NATO prevents war, lack of NATO brings war.
The absence of conflict is not the same as the presence of justice. Maintaining peace and order is not always the most important thing, the very same logic is used by oppressive regimes to justify crushing dissent. I am not one of those people who supports Russian imperialism, which is why I take such issue with your characterization of the entire "radical left" as such. NATO maintains peace, yes, but it also maintains a status quo that is unjust. I do not want imperialism to continue, regardless of whether it is carried out by Russia or Western countries.
Idgaf about your Tankie justice, theres a special place in hell for warmongers like you.
Sigh...
