Oh wow that's quite the username

Unfortunately, the Epstein Files are full of Liberals, too.

[–] drhodl@lemmy.world 2 points 6 days ago

Liberals aren't trying to bury those files, perverting justice, and destroying a country in the process. Jeebus but I'm starting to loathe fence sitters and "both siders" !

[–] BigBananaDealer@lemmy.world 0 points 6 days ago

yeah this aint exactly the burn they think it is

[–] khepri@lemmy.world 5 points 6 days ago

Are these liberals in the room with us now?

[–] lukaro@lemmy.zip 3 points 6 days ago (1 children)

I've been on Threads a few times and I never see anything but magat asses spewing bullshit!

[–] MTZ@lemmy.world 1 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago)

That's literally all I see on X, but I don't think I've ever seen one even mildly conservative acting or looking person on Threads. Weird. Algorithms, maaaan.

She could try truth social... or x, at this point.

Maybe not the right place to ask this, but why are American conservatives called conservatives? Where I live, in one of the EU countries, they would be considered extremists and the Democrats would be considered right wing.

[–] tetris11@feddit.uk 5 points 6 days ago

That is not a question and you know it isn't

[–] frog_brawler@lemmy.world 4 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago)

You’re 100% right but we repealed the fairness doctrine in 1987, and ever since that, we’ve had politicized information cycles. Republicans in 1987 knew they’d have to lie to continue holding power; but they also have been enshitifying education too. In turn, a lot of people are just simply undereducated and comforted by their echo chambers. Have that happen for 40 years. Here we are.

[–] k_rol@lemmy.ca 22 points 1 week ago (2 children)

The right and left are subjective terms. It really depends where you live and people will be more or less left/right.

As a Canadian I think the American conservatives are right religious nuts rather than just right extremist.

[–] Lost_My_Mind@lemmy.world 11 points 1 week ago

Both are true.

At least in Canada, most people I know think Liberal = anything left, Conservative = anything right. Maybe Americans are the same.

[–] maniclucky@lemmy.world 17 points 1 week ago

Basically. Our Overton window is fucked thanks to the Nazis in power. Both current and historical.

[–] atopi@piefed.blahaj.zone 11 points 1 week ago (2 children)

In my country(that is in the EU), there are people that would call anyone that says anything remotely positive about gay people woke communists trying to bring Nicolae Ceaușescu back from the dead

why are American conservatives called conservatives?

For a full depth, non-lemmy-grade answer, a wikipedia article on US political ideologies explains the history & meanings.

Why would anybody use Threads? I made an account on there just to see what it's about and it was so shitty that I ended up deleting it a couple of hours later. Most of the content is just ragebait, political misinformation, and businesses/influencers trying to shill something. For every 10 posts you might get 1 or 2 that don't fall in these categories. It's just bad, and not in a good way.

[–] UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 1 points 6 days ago

Let's say you were a Bitcoin spammer who wanted to appeal to a higher quality of bullshit techbro crowd.

[–] Donebrach@lemmy.world 14 points 1 week ago (3 children)

So it’s like all of social media since forever? Shocking!

Jesus was definitely a libertarian and definitely not a conservative. Oh, except for inside a temple on markets day.
