I've always wondered why conservatives insist on coming to the fediverse when conventional networks are more appealing to them and their ideals nowadays. Or is that still not enough?
Ideals don’t matter to them, what matters is spreading their propaganda far and wide.
Bingo. These are the same people who will say that most political violence comes from the left while removing a study showing the opposite: a study about a statistical trend that has been well known and documented for longer than I've been alive.
They don't care. Their beliefs shape shift to fit whatever is most expedient in the moment. They will openly lie to your face, without even trying to hide that it's a lie while they smile and say they're being honest. The people who gaslit the nation about project 2025 only to have cabinet members gleeposting about implementing it on social media.
Truth is irrelevant and reality is an inconvenience. Hypocrisy is as dead to them as the corpse of civility they prop up whenever it suits their narrative.
They lie because they believe they'll be part of the "in-group", while in reality, they are going to be censored the moment their higher-up has the ability to turn on them without retribution.
They are fools, but not to be underestimated.
A lot if it is sowing dissent and breaking discourse as well.
When I was a conservative piece of shit, in my younger days, I had the most outlandish bumper stickers you can imagine. Probably more outlandish than you can imagine, actually, 99.9% likelihood. There were quite a few. I knew I was being an ass and I loved when it offended people, because I was miserable. Someone was paying attention to me. I was getting a reaction. I existed! Anyway, yeah, it can be as simple as "they get off on ruining your day cuz they're miserable pieces of shit." Speaking from experience.
"They turned potoooooooo into a conservative!"
Potoooooooo: "...i got better."
Good job being less of a piece of shit and congrats on the happiness. Any advice for helping people out of there?
Tl;dr version:
Take mushrooms in Amsterdam, say "it's not doing anything" and also take your sister-in-law's portion (turns out everyone is going to bed so you're on your own for this first psilocybin trip, which should make it easier to...)
Cry for five to six hours, finally lose religion and 80-90 pounds (over next 6-12 months), get medicated for ADHD (not currently, but sure helps), continue occasionally microdosing and/or smoking pot until everything finishes clicking.
Ok so I've got to make like the CIA and put lsd in fhe water supply? Got it. /s obviously
Funny though as me and a friend found religion through acid, though we stayed progressive. I do really wish more people would go trip in pursuit of better understanding of shared humanity
Now that was a wild ride to read
You should've been on the ride! It was indeed something.
Thanks for sharing. I'm glad you are feeling less miserable now.
Thanks. Take lots of psychedelics, everyone.
they want attention, which is why magat are so desperate for trump to recognize them.
People can change. Even if that baby thinks they can’t.
I worry you're right.
That video is like a weirdly nostalgic confessional of my time in D.C. I was a huge piece of shit. Systematic theology book. Capitol Hill job. Little bitty bow ties. Speakeasies. Pork stuffed potatoes at Dixie Bones. People can change.
Same reason why tankies don't just move to China, or why some Canadians had Trump bumperstickers: the point is to take over and wield authority as a weapon. Of course they try to invade and pollute every space they can and muddy waters wherever possible.
And they've been incredibly successful in doing so.
They need an audience to perform for. When ever you see a social media "safe space" for conservatives (Voat, Truth Social, etc.) they almost always wither and die. They need people to blame for being everything wrong with the world as well as react to their terrible takes, otherwise there's no point in shouting their outrage and anger on the internet.
They're insecure, hateful little twats, and the only comfort they feel is to spread their hateful insecurity around.
They go everywhere because even if a bunch of people are like “fuck off nazis” there will be a few people that are like “oh hey you have some good ideas”.
That’s why they’ve been recruiting online since the beginning of the internet. Capture whoever you can that’s sympathetic and keep bolstering numbers by any means necessary. Worked out pretty well for them
Free platforms like the Fediverse would actually suit conservative ideals of freedom quite well.
If they cared about ideals, that is.
Or freedom
Since when do conservatives follow conservative ideals of freedom?
That's a reason why it won't work - see Reddit's r/Conservative which lists every post as "approved speech only" aka "flaired users only".
and the mods are associated with Russia too, not surprising why its the most repressive sub,(after the others got banned years ago)
If those were the ideals, the Kimmel and Colbert firings never would’ve happened.
They don't want their own spaces as much as making other people's spaces are theirs too - aka "This is why we can't have nice things"
If they get defederated, they just spin up a new instance and keep spreading their hate.
Because this place isn't censored for their side, they're trying to break it.
Ideals? You mean diet fascism?
