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.

[–] madjo@feddit.nl 2 points 6 days ago

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.

[–] 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

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

Both are true.

[–] kameecoding@lemmy.world 6 points 1 week ago

Well that's not how that works.

Right wing means you believe that some people are naturally better than others.

Right-wing politics is the range of political ideologies that view certain social orders and hierarchies as inevitable, natural, normal, or desirable,[1][2][3] typically supporting this position in favour of conservatismnatural laweconomicsauthoritypropertyreligion, or tradition.[4][5][6][7][8][9][10] Hierarchy and inequality may be seen as natural results of traditional social differences[11][12] or competition in market economies.

[–] BurntWits@sh.itjust.works 17 points 1 week ago (1 children)

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.

[–] lmmarsano@lemmynsfw.com 11 points 1 week ago

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.

[–] 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

It comes down to how American conservatives are extremely hostile to any kind of change whatsoever. In more extreme cases, like MAGA, QAnon, TeaParty, etc. that hostility towards change can lead to fear, which can lead to things like violence, terrorism, hate groups, etc. In short, they are called conservatives because they wish above all else to "conserve" the status quo (as they see it), that often being racism, sexism, slavery, xenophobia, hate groups, misogyny, white supremacy, Christian fascism, etc.

[–] Prove_your_argument@piefed.social 7 points 1 week ago (1 children)

American "conservatives" are anything but conservative.

They're hyper liberal. They're ripping up precedent left and right to institute how the think things "should be" as if it's 250 years ago. The billionaires want slavery. They want to eradicate all minorities and anybody who isn't white. They don't have the support to do all of this all at once, so they're starting with the people who will never support them first. Take away the support of the opposition and more and more unpopular actions can be taken to push things towards an oligarch controlled white christian nationalist organization.

They're spending money like crazy but only in ways that support them politically. They're trying to drive out anything that is remotely left ideologically until the middle is the left, and then they're next.

[–] MTZ@lemmy.world 7 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Oh yeah, I agree with you. They have driven the Overton window into another dimension.

That is exactly American brainwashing. You are correct.

[–] Deceptichum@quokk.au 6 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

Because they want to go back to unchallenged white American male rule? It's a very selective and niche time period they want to conserve.

Oh wow that's quite the username

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.

[–] dawnslayer@piefed.social 8 points 1 week ago (1 children)

These people do not care about Jesus lol
