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:

  1. Always follow .world instance rules

  2. 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.

  3. 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.

  4. Highlight Contradictions: Sometimes the best content points out inconsistencies and hypocrisies in conservative talking points. Creative commentary is encouraged.

  5. 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.

  1. 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.

  2. 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.

  1. 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]

  1. Community Respect: Disagree with fellow members all you want, but personal attacks aren’t welcome. Save the criticism for the ideas, not each other.

  2. 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.

  3. 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!

As a German I always liked.

RECHTS GEHTS REIN INS REICH.

More or less "In the Right direction it goes into the Reich". Absolutely bonkers and very catchy.

*snort* Brudi/Schwesti, was. I've never heard that one before and I was on Krautchan.

It bugs me that the pictures are in the wrong order.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 20 hours ago

From my point of view ~~it's the Jedi who are evil~~ the pictures are correct, it's the writing that is backwards.

I always heard it "Lefty loosie, righty tightie".

Ha

How did Orson Wells miss that in his book?

Btw it's non fiction, short and very interesting read: his book Homage to Catalonia. It precedes animal farm.

Yeah, the translation in the image is a bit contrived. I'm more likely to say "a la izquierda abre y a la derecha cierra," meaning it opens to the left and closes to the right. Neither "oprimir" nor "liberar" is used to talk about faucets in Spanish since their meanings are identical to their translations.

You just experienced first hand why machine translation cannot replace human translators.

They use the other words. It's a difference in culture.

I always rhyme the "rightie loosie..."

You don't turn a screw left or right. You turn them clockwise/counterclockwise. The right/left only works if you imagine an arrow on top of the screw. But without any other info, why would one assume the arrow is on the top of the screw?

If anything, a "rightward" rotation actually loosens a screw! If you apply the right hand rule, a right-handed rotation would result in loosening, not tightening, any regularly-threaded screw.

I've got bad news for you. Clockwise/counterclockwise depends on which way you're looking at the screw.

Turns out either way you need to make assumptions about perspective.
