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.

[–] GrumpyDuckling@sh.itjust.works 27 points 1 month ago (2 children)

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 think that 4chan started a lot of this apocalypse that way.

[–] GrumpyDuckling@sh.itjust.works 10 points 1 month ago (7 children)

4chan was sold in 2015 and that's when it took a hard right turn.

[–] garbagebagel@lemmy.world 9 points 1 month ago

Damn, sounds like a familiar story now

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

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

[–] tigeruppercut@lemmy.zip 57 points 1 month ago (2 children)

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?

[–] Kusimulkku@lemm.ee 12 points 1 month ago (2 children)

I don't really engage often with them, I'm just interested in hearing how they view stuff, how it differs from me, how they reconcile this and that and so on.

Well the biggest problem is that the fuck does conservatism want to conserve?

Selling off parks, betraying labor, violating people's right to self determination...

If you mean Republicans, those are open fascists.

The ones doing any amount of conservation are Democrats, but eventually one realizes nimby liberalism is just the slower road to fascism as it always bends the knee to corporate interests. We wouldn't be here if this wasn't true.

The "responsible adults" in the room are either spineless cowards, incompetent dupes, or malicious insider trading bad actors themselves.

Between the Business Plot and the lack of any action against cellar boxing American corporations into bankruptcy and predatory economic bubbles it becomes ever clearer the goal of the entire system is to fleece the poor masses to make the rich minority ever richer.

The fatal flaw of the internet is that you can find people who are into similar obscure stuff that you're into, but that also means the nazis can also find each other

[–] cm0002@lemmy.world 10 points 1 month ago (2 children)

There's like 2 others, and a whole instance. .ee and SJW each have a comm and hilariouschaos is the new "friendlier" ExplodingHeads instance lol

Only the best memes of conservatives, made in the most conservative region of the conservatorium.

[–] PM_Your_Nudes_Please@lemmy.world 14 points 1 month ago (1 children)

If it’s not made in the conservative region, it’s just sparkling fascism.

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

Having said that, best of luck with the community.

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.

[–] Korne127@lemmy.world 8 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I've looked through the history and I could only find a post "it's now unmoderated as well". How did that happen in the first place?

[–] cm0002@lemmy.world 13 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I think you might be on one of the others, .world is the one going satire lol

For various reasons, .ee version they were removed because they weren't taking care of things, SJW version was just abandoned and I think .world was also abandoned

[–] WalrusDragonOnABike@reddthat.com 16 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I think pretty much all conservative communities seem like satire much of the time. Hard to believe they'd actually be posting stuff other than to make fun of whoever made it.
