I don't understand what this is saying :(

You're playing with fire, this is how thedonald started. It was all a joke until it wasn't. Then it became a cesspit.

It’s also how flat earthers started. 4chan started satirically memeing about flat earth. Then idiots saw it, missed the satire, and picked it up as a serious thing. At that point, 4chan went “this is funnier than any satire we could make” and stood back to watch the crazies launch rockets into the upper atmosphere.

Flat earthers have been around (heh) for centuries. It's mostly a religious thing in order to rebuke science in order to keep people stupid. There's a passage in the bible that refrences the four corners of the earth that gets refrenced by these people as proof. It's a way to keep people in their cult, because the outsiders are the ones who are tricked into beleiving in round earth ftom scientists.

I’m more of a dinosaur earth guy myself

As someone who once played with the Earth's actual distancing math, fuck the both of you.

This one was already serious. The worst that can happen is it goes back to what it was before.

[–] [email protected] 47 points 3 days ago (2 children)

Yea, but I'm a mod Who's Built Different™️

I would actually want to see conservatives (who doesn't currently support trump) come and debate stuff.

I don't agree with them, but I want to see what their perspective is.

Having a conservative community on a non-corporate site would help prevent the most extreme opinions of the right-wing and minimize russian propaganda (because we have manual applications). Give them a space here, allows them to be exposed to opposing views, preventing far-right extremism.

(Obviously, the trumpers are too far gone and we shouldn't platform them. Racism, sexism and stuff like that should Never be allowed)

Maybe a c/DebateConservatives type of thing?

After the last couple days, I want nothing to do with these fucking backstabbing traitors.

[email protected] because there is no clickable link here.

This is peak US politics. No wonder y’all seem to be so fucked…

Having said that, best of luck with the community.

On some level I'd like there to be an actual conservative sub since I like to check in on the Reddit alternative's goings on and what their takes on this or that is. But I can understand why some wouldn't want to share a platform with those people. Some of the stuff is pretty bad

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 day ago

/r/conservative is not comprised of real conservative people, it only exists to expose "normie" redditors to MAGA propoganda while giving the MAGA movement the pretense of legitimacy.

On one hand it'd be nice to be able to have some discussion about what sort of government involvement is needed in society. But at least in terms of the US, until the overton window puts some healthy distance between it and fascism, there's zero point in talking to cons online. They're literally unwilling to accept reality or basic facts-- what's the point?
