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.

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.

If you don't want people to brigade your community, make your own instance and defederate.
You can't have a lemmy community and not expect people sorting by local to come in. I would fully support a ban of this community if it just blindly nabbed most people on the instance for their political beliefs.
I expect brigading, discussions and arguments are half the point of this sub.
But then you have to tolerate being yelled at by people who disagree with you and are in the majority.
No complaints from me, im a liberal who reached this place because I still like to sort by local. If you moderate away dissent, I just don't think there are enough internet using neo-cons for it to be viable.
Thats pretty much the pattern of conservative discourse - it ends up trying to blend in to plain sight either through a secret clearance level on parlor or through groyped up dogwhistle language. It is because the ideas are deeply unpopular, and will always attract tons of criticism. This might be the place to finally face up to this and engage in a healthy discussion, but there is no version of that where conservatives aren't outnumbered.
Yeah, it's something that I've come to terms with. I don't want to ban dissent, won't ban dissent, and being yelled at by the majority is part of that, unfortunately.
