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.

How dare we have compassion for the refugees we created?

For conservatives, taking responsibility for actions only is required when it has the effect of punishing an out group, minority, etc.

The U.S. destroyed large swaths of Latin America, causing countless refugees to try to escape, many of then to our own borders. But said refugees are an out group, and the action our own, so according to conservatives the U.S. has no responsibility despite our own actions being the cause.
