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.

An idea I had earlier today, you might also want to consider adding a low effort rule in a similar vein to what reddit's /r/DebateReligion has:

Quality Posts and Comments

Posts and comments will be removed if they are disruptive to the purpose of the subreddit. This includes submissions that are: low effort, proselytizing, uninterested in participating in discussion, made in bad faith, off-topic, or unintelligible/illegible. Posts and comments must be written in your own words (and not be AI-generated); you may quote others, but only to support your own writing. Do not link to an external resource instead of making an argument yourself.

Thesis Statement and Argument

Posts must have a thesis statement as their title or their first sentence. A thesis statement is a sentence which explains what your central claim is and briefly summarizes how you are arguing for it. Posts must also contain an argument supporting their thesis. An argument is not just a claim. You should explain why you think your thesis is true and why others should agree with you.

Because posts like these are good examples of comments that make the quality of discussion around here dogshit.

Funny how calling out you and your buddies worthless shit is the problem to you

~~You are revealing just how ugly conservatism is. ~~

To rephrase what I'm trying to get across in a more civil manner, your constant insults of others shows just how hateful of an ideology conservatism is, how much empathy it lacks.

Unofficially, will both of you please be civil to each other?

He's the one who starts it. Look at the screenshot. That's the kind of stuff he says unprovoked. I'm not the problem here.

Sure. I'll gladly be civil, once pizza stops being a worthless troll and contributes something worth a damn
