A place to discuss pro-conservative stuff

  1. Be excellent to each other. Civility, No Racism, No Bigotry, No Slurs, No calls to violences, No namecalling, All that good stuff, follow lemm.ee's rules, follow the rules of your instance, etc.

  2. 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.

  3. 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.

Look, I agree with you on it being more than criticism. But people shouldn't deny that it didn't arise out of a vacuum. Being murderous for criticizing awful behavior doesn't give you a great reputation.

Neither does being a hateful bigot.

What's your point?

you should be careful you aren't going to bat for something you don't entirely believe in. You don't want to encourage religious fanatics.

Calling someone a hateful bigot is endorsing violent extremism?

Hope you've got a soft mat to land on for that wild leap.

Yeah because you equate someone critcizing violent religious extremism to a bigot. that means you don't want to address the violence, but only scrutinize what words others use in response.

You're intentionally waiting for someone to maybe make a grammatical error to leap on and find "bigotry".

You would do well in the group of people who equate Anti-Israel stances to antisemitism.
