conservative
A community to satirize conservtive and right-wing "ideals".
This community (now) exists as a pressure valve, a place to process through humor the often frustrating world of conservative politics. Above all, this is NOT the place for serious conservative support/viewpoints/arguments. There are other places on Lemmy for that if you desire it.
Rules:
-
Always follow .world instance rules
-
Parody With Purpose: This is a space for humorous takes on conservative politics. We welcome satire, but draw the line at content that promotes racism, sexism, homophobia, or other forms of bigotry.
-
Memes Over Manifestos: This community focuses on humor and parody, not serious political debate. There are plenty of spaces for earnest conservative discussion, this isn’t one of them.
-
Highlight Contradictions: Sometimes the best content points out inconsistencies and hypocrisies in conservative talking points. Creative commentary is encouraged.
-
Public Figures Fair Game: Politicians and pundits can be satirized, but no targeting of private individuals, doxxing, or harassment.
Children of public figures under the age of 14 are also off-limits, a 16 year old has enough free agency to break with or adopt their parents views. An 8 year old kid doesn't.
-
No News Zone: Memes only, news or other serious content should be sent to the nearest relevant comm. Meme's of current events, however, are encouraged.
-
Clear Satire: Make your satirical intent reasonably clear. We’re here to mock bad ideas, not accidentally spread them. If you're unsure how it will be taken, feel free to DM the mod team ahead of time or explicitly tag it as satire in the body.
A note on ChadMcTruth: Chad's content is 100% satire, but his work can sometimes be hard to tell, but if he posted it be assured, its satire.
- Relevant Content: All posts should relate to conservative politics or ideologies in some way somewhere in your post. Either in the title or the meme itself.
For more general political memes please see [email protected]
-
Community Respect: Disagree with fellow members all you want, but personal attacks aren’t welcome. Save the criticism for the ideas, not each other.
-
Moderation Discretion: Mods will use reasonable judgment in applying these rules. We’ll be fair, but firm. These kinds of comms have a tendency to get off the rails, so we might seem overzealous in moderation sometimes.

For the moment, i'm allowing properly tagged NSFW content as long as its funny and relevant. Don't make me regret it.
And above all, HAVE FUN!

Ok so I checked these numbers and they don't seem to line up. According to Equity Atlas there are about 3.28M Americans with a net worth of $5M. According to https://www.credit-suisse.com/about-us/en/reports-research/global-wealth-report.html there are 8.4M people worldwide with a $5M net worth. So 8.4-3.28=5.12. So 5.12M x $5M=$25.6T.
I'm just using the logic presented here. Of course, that would require every single person on the planet with a net worth (not disposable cash) to actually buy one of these visas. If you assume actually 1% of these people did this, and I think that's probably a high number, then we are talking $256B.
I'm not trying to defend Donald Trump here, but I don't want to be one of those people who only immerses himself in liberal media and swallows everything they say as true just because it supports my opinion. That would make me the same as them.
I'm guessing the reality is closer to the original post. I'd be surprised if more than a small handful of people actually did this and that doesn't forgive the horrible idea-made-real that citizenship is for sale, that only rich people are welcome here, that they are better than common people and all of the other reasons this whole thing is tasteless.
