I wonder if that guy looked at the screen, read each item, and thought “oh damn, I picked the wrong side”.

I'm pretty sure he's part of the "I have mine" crowd.

The main way in which even highly educated domain experts can be made willing minions of the elites in Capitalism is to give them just a little bit more than the rest of the riff-raff - plenty of people around willing to fuck everybody else just for a few more crumbs from the fatcats' table (the police in general are probably the greatest example of this) and a higher level of formal education whilst usually making somebody a bit more aware of the implications of things in general and their own actions, doesn't in any way form or shape make a person less selfish, with higher empathy or more moral.

Honestly, this doesn't match the usual shit I see from Fox News (mind you, it's been a while since I've seen fox news, thank god). Normally I'm used to seeing something like a guy with a strict beard and a cowboy had talking about how liberalism is destroying America. The way they're putting it here is very flattering in comparison to what I'm used to.

A part of me wonders if someone there likes those ideas and purposefully didn't invest all too much effort into making them look bad.

He gets all of them already.

His beef is with anyone he thinks is below him in station enjoying any of the same

He chose to work for Faux News, so no.

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 !politicalmemes@lemmy.world

  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!
