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.

Democracy:

a system of government by the whole population or all the eligible members of a state, typically through elected representatives.

This is a plutocracy:

government by the wealthy.

Elon Musk isn't taking a chainsaw to plutocracy like he claims to be doing with bureaucracy.

All good! English is a dumb language that does a poor job of differentiating objects in sentences.

Randomly asking for my friend, how much is a show “chainsaw”? Like is it similar to the one Javier used during his election campaign(it was a bit more compact)?
