I don't want to be in close proximity to fascists.

I'm glad we ran them out.

America should follow suit.

[–] otter@lemmy.dbzer0.com 9 points 1 week ago (1 children)

We should run them down, instead.

Lances are heavy and my horse is hungry.

That's reason #8,647 why the French invented the guillotine, friend.

[–] Thrawne@lemmy.world 2 points 6 days ago

Vive la France!

Good, fuck 'em.

I used to lurch into conservative subreddits routinely. Each one turned into an openly fascist circlejerk and banned all dissent.

The value for conservatives in social media comes almost entirely from being able to antagonize people who don't want to interact with them.

Once you strip away the "making the libs cry" aspect of conservative social media, they lose all interest in talking to each other. That's why Parler failed, that's why Trump's blog failed, that's why these people won't just leave these platforms they hate so much.

And that is the underlying principle behind their hysteria toward "cancel culture" and deplatforming. They aren't upset at losing the right to speak (nor have they lost it). They're upset that they're being deprived of access to a captive audience of non-conservatives to upset.

It's not advocacy for free speech, it's advocacy against the freedom of association.

Most so called conservatives I saw here were actual racists or people who can only live and feel good by hating other marginalized groups. And these people are definitely not wanted here.

Yeah, that's basically the definition of being a conservative.

Yes, the hateful assholes the economic conservatives tolerated for their support took over the conservative space.

[–] kayzeekayzee@lemmy.blahaj.zone 14 points 1 week ago

Exactly. If a bunch of Nazis took over my groups, I would leave those groups.

Anyone who still calls themselves "conservatives" or tries to associate with them is either stupid, stupidly uninformed, or a nazi.

That's not to say I hate the people currently leaving those circles, but like.. cmon. What took you so long??

[–] mindbleach@sh.itjust.works 6 points 1 week ago

One of those funny coincidences that keeps happening.

[–] rebelsimile@sh.itjust.works 32 points 1 week ago

boy who wouldn’t want r/conservative over here. many much big branes.

[–] HikingVet@lemmy.ca 31 points 1 week ago (10 children)

.ml is a tankie istance and stans authoritarians.

[–] samus12345@sh.itjust.works 26 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

Conservatives and tankies both love authoritarians, but mostly exclusively different ones, so they tend to hate each other.

[–] DarkFuture@lemmy.world 5 points 1 week ago

I downvote every post from .ml I see.

Their users smell bad.

[–] TankovayaDiviziya@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

They're the original Lemmyites. They won't go away so easily.

[–] samus12345@sh.itjust.works 10 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

That's why I plan to leave to PieFed once it's mature enough. They'll still be around, but I won't be using a platform developed by them.

Good, they can go be on a website based on their ideals. Like capitalism? Dont move to a free and open source platform. Go continue licking boots on reddit

[–] tenchiken@lemmy.dbzer0.com 30 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Wait, we kicking the shit out of conservatives?

Did I miss the fun AGAIN?! Damn...

[–] otter@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 1 week ago

Activate locally, citizen. ✊🏼🌈

[–] SoftestSapphic@lemmy.world 25 points 1 week ago

I honestly have been loving the internet a lot more since we started quarantining the fascists in twitter.

They can only leave to join a new community when they grow out of their edgy teenager phase. Otherwise they get ostracized.

[–] TheObviousSolution@lemmy.ca 16 points 1 week ago

They want to remain in their small, closed off bubbles. Experiencing different social networks beats the purpose.

[–] breecher@sh.itjust.works 16 points 1 week ago

As if .ml would take the time off their busy schedule regurgitating Trumps/Putins right wing propaganda to kick fascist ass.

[–] ILikeBoobies@lemmy.ca 13 points 1 week ago

You’ve been here long enough to have seen the conservative shift as more Redditors come here

This post doesn’t ring true
