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.

who do you consider a viable source

That's a good question.

If it's a pro Hamas source, then I'll believe what it says about Hamas. Like if Egypt reported that doctors were Hamas combatants, that'd be believable.

Well I mean yeah, but that's not going to happen. Hamas and their friends have a vested interest in making it look like they're just a bunch of victims.

I guess the reason I'm curious is because I find a lot of people (yourself not included) who more or less dismiss every source that backs up Israel's stance/actions as just being zionist propaganda or whatever, so I'm interested in what we (in a general sense) could find that would serve as a sort of common ground of facts, even if we don't agree on the more subjective side of things. Because yeah, there's always going to be people who just carry water for their "side" regardless of the facts, but i feel like a lot of the middle ground is getting pulled to the extremes by the narrative that nothing can be trusted.
