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!

Wasn't that mid air collision a direct result of his administration firing air traffic safety officials?

No. He hadn't fired ATC yet.

No.

If the principal of the school is fired all the teachers that worked under them don't forget how to teach kids the next day.

Besides he took office January 20th and the crash happened on the 29th. He didn't start firing FAA staff until early February I believe.

threats to federal workers across the entire government - 'you have 10 days to turn in your colleagues or else you're fired' - went out January 20th. Remote workers were threatened with firings the day or so after. people currently being hired but not yet finalized were given notice the same week, and people hired but on probationary status (doesn't mean what youre thinking it's just a designation for people in good standing who haven't secured permanent position) - were told to fuck right off around January 23rd.

the amount of chaos and fear generated in the first week alone was staggering. but you're right, the actual FIRINGS took a couple more days. the threats came IMMEDIATELY.

not saying it caused the crash entirely, but there's reasonable evidence the administration at least contributed to the high levels of stress ATCs already experience. especially since they're nationally short staffed from retirements linked to Reagan.

better question is, why the fuck should military helicopters be doing exercises right the fuck beneath flight paths of commercial airlines? there's literally thousands of military bases where they can pRaCTiCe and do military shit. gtfo civilian air space.
