oh my god cope harder - MAGA is as punk as Maroon 5
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!
In the heyday of punk there were also fascists claiming to be punk. They got the shit kicked out of them then, looks like it’s time to lace up the boots again.
Hang on, I'm disabled this time. Can we have velcro boots?
You absolutely can, comrade.
Nah. Fuck this.
Right wing movements may have stolen the words “libertarian” and “woke”, but we will keep “punk”, thank you very much.
Just like how Fox says they’re the most popular news network but at the same time are not “mainstream”.
Fox is legally not news. They are an entertainment platform. And nothing about what they say should be what discerning adults would take as serious.

their ideals are not mainstream ideals, but they know how to grow their fanbase.
IDK, Ghost/Poppy/Sleep Token might not be mainstream, but they're really popular.
EDIT : Why do I keep ending up bringing up these bands? I don't even like them.
Punk ass bitches
We're like punks minus the woke hairstyles, the woke patched vests, the visceral anti-government messaging, and good taste in music.
Or empathy.
Empathy is a human feeling. Thats why everything works so hard to cut it out. Its not exclusive to punks.
They tend to think punks are simply the scum of the earth, and in that way they very much are punk.
Why did you have to remind me that PJW exists .. also isn't he british? The american flag? Why?
