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.

Yeah, it's almost like I don't want to lend any credence to terrorists/terrorist orgs.

Yet you can claim to know what's in it without reading it.

If your water stops working in your bathroom, but you still have water pressure in other parts of the house. Without looking in the pipes, is it wrong to say that there is a clog?

Even though you never looked?

I never claimed to know what's in Hale’s manifesto if there actually is one, and I don't need to because I know what leads to a metaphorical clog, and CRT ain't it.

The only way to know if water stopped working in your bathroom is to observe it you have to look. Further bathrooms have shutoffs, it's far more likely the shutoff was enabled. Water pipes getting clogged in a specific area is very uncommon so it would be wrong to think your pipes are clogged. It looks like you know as much about plumbing as the manifesto.

It's a metaphor. If you can't even try to understand what I'm saying then I don't know what to tell you.

It's a terrible metaphor. Claiming knowledge about something without ever seeing it is impossible.

Humans can't see X rays. Yet we claim immense knowledge of them.

You need to work on your metaphors. We can observe xrays.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

No we can't. X rays are beyond the range of human vision.

Observe != see. Read carefully

So we can know something with indirect observation? Congratulations for getting up to speed, now please apply what you've learned to my original metaphor.

[–] [email protected] -3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Youu haven't observed the manifesto indirectly. You shitty metaphors still doesn't work.

Like I already said, I don't need to, to know CRT isn't the problem here.
