I don’t read r/conservative much but what I’ve seen is they keep banning actual conservatives because they correctly call out what Trump is doing on things where it’s not about left and right but right and wrong.

Some people are saying that it could be coincidental. OP asks why would the two accounts who post so regularly just happen to both stop at the same time on that day.

    Virtually every major outlet for the right wing is, in some way shape or form, controlled by fascist foreign actors. Especially Russia.

    All the dumb-fuck faux leftists supporting Russia over Ukraine, claiming Ukraine has a major Nazi problem, need to open their fucking eyes and see Russia is the biggest exporter of Nazism world wide.

      the best part of all of it…is the reveal twitter had a couple weeks ago, where they put access location and registration location as publicly visible…for all of 5 minutes, revealing the fact that most big head conservative twitter accounts are foreign controlled psyop/propaganda outlets.

      Crazy how the right wing just absolutely ignores that 98% of all the big totally patriotic american twitter accounts telling them what to do and how to feel come from russia, belarus, etc etc.

        Because those aren’t actual communists, they’re tankies.

        Tabkies don’t have any actual principles, let alone any beliefs whatsoever.

        Their beliefs are solely anti-West and that is it. It doesn’t matter what contradictions or outright lies they must embrace. As long as the narrative is anti-West, they’re 100% on board.

    Conservatives need brand new online communities that do not push them farther into the brain rot. Seriously are there any good online communities for them still around?

      That’s an oxymoron as conservatism is already a brain rot

          I feel like “conservatism” has lost all rationality. I do get that it’s totally possible that “not rocking the boat” could be a good solution to society’s progress for some niches but 99% of the time it’s absolutely irational.

          In fact, most conservative issues like “traditional family unit”, “gun freedom” are better approached through progressive frame like incentives to celebrate local culture and protecting human rights like rights to self defence - these are fundamentally progressive thoughts that actually solve the issue in a real meaningful way rather than just hiding behind in-action.

          I really try to understand conservatism as a thought movement but there seems to be no actual thought behind it. I genuinely don’t get it.

            It looks contradictory but there is logic to it. They want hierarchies, just like there was before - where Christian white men are on top and everyone else has no rights. Those are the “traditional values” they want to uphold. If you filter everything through that lens, their actions start to make sense. Technically this isn’t called conservatism (since this isn’t about a monarchy), but that’s the label they gave it.

      American conservativism is already inherently contradictory. Conservativism as a political movement emerged in Europe in response to the emergence of liberalism. Liberalism is anti-monarchy. Conservatism is pro-monarchy. US conservativism is anti-monarchy, pro-market, pro-private property - all of these positions are liberal positions. American conservativism is liberalism.

      So to adopt the label of conservative in America you already have to be ignorant of political philosophy, history, and the meaning of words that you use on a daily basis, and you have to be living out a full contradiction of political views. Or you have to be in the grifter elite that does understand this and use it as a way to fleece people.

      The people who stay in the American conversative are under such psychology strain from the cognitive dissonance that they absolutely have to have purity tests to keep any challenge to their narratives out of their zones.

        You are aware that it is not the 19th century anymore? Political groups and ideologies change and are different through time and between countries.
