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.

Worship of the written word sounds like you love reading and writing.

To YOU. But not to everyone, which is why they defined the term they are using.

Everyone understands worship to mean ‘love’.

Get out of here with that bullshit.

https://dictionary.cambridge.org/dictionary/english/worship

This dictionary only includes love as 3 of 8 definitions.

https://www.britannica.com/topic/worship

This one doesn't include the word love at all.

https://www.collinsdictionary.com/dictionary/english/worship

This one only includes it in 1 of 4 definitions.

So get out of here with this definition absolutism bullshit. Words can mean a million different things. And they explicitly explained what they are talking about, and you're the one fucking up the messaging.

And even if youre right, honoring contracts and nothing else is a trope of the devil.

The word contract isn't even in there.
