A place to discuss pro-conservative stuff

  1. Be excellent to each other. Civility, No Racism, No Bigotry, No Slurs, No calls to violences, No namecalling, All that good stuff, follow lemm.ee's rules, follow the rules of your instance, etc.

  2. We are a Pro-Conservative forum. Posts must have a clear pro-conservative, or anti left-wing bias. We are interested in promoting conservatism and discussing things that might get ignored elsewhere. All sources are acceptable, however reputable sources with a reputation for factual reporting are preferred.

  3. Dissent is allowed in the comments, but try to be constructive; if you do not agree, then provide a reason which is backed up by references or a reasonable alternative interpretation of the provided facts. That means the left wing is welcome to state their opinions, but please keep it in good faith.

A polite request, not a rule, if you feel the need to report a comment, please don't reply to it.

Thanks for your sentiment. Even tho I didn't practice brevity in writing to you, I'm not actually THAT worked up by it. I mean, their actions did inspire me to post more and comment more.

But my political outlook and Lemmy is a very small, hobby-ish part of my life. I'm recently retired so I have lots of time. My Lemmy posting is usually just in between the other fun projects I work on.

Lemmy is still a relatively small community, so the same names often pop up. Which makes it seem that I'm more active than I really am. I check in daily at different times during the day when I have time or am eating, but I'm not on here for hours at a time.

And that's also the reason I can't give you a reasonable critique on the current material conditions of our country. I'm not that educated or well-spoken. I'm pro-union, pro-worker safety, and pro-privacy. I subscribe to socialist material and enjoy reading it and supporting it. And I may start a local chapter of the Socialist Workers party (the party I voted for in the election).

But I am by no means a philosopher/scholar in socialism.

Thanks, friend!
