A place to discuss pro-conservative stuff

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.

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.
-
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.

How about getting people the help they need to deal with those issues that you mentioned instead of throwing them in a cage and making it harder for them to be a productive member of society?

People who are broken do not change.
Welcome to Lemmy, new account!
They're also a white supremicist who wrote an article on their site called Whites Going Their Own Way. (Use archive.org if you dive in yourself so that you're not giving them ad revenue.)
Shocking that they've found a home in this community.
Thanks for sharing.
For those that don't know, Voyager (a great Lemmy client), gives a special icon for new users under 30 day, with a day counter.
It's useful to identify brand new accounts.
More often then not, they are disingenuous.
For those that don't use Voyager, it is helpful to comment identifying them as such, so others are more wary.
Have a great day!
I mean that's just factually wrong but ok
@Woozythebear
You need to have a really good poop.
@amerika @LookBehindYouNowAndThen They never ever change? There's no way that's true.
I just shared a post with an IRL friend about a dude who was homeless and on #heroin and once he got clean, he got a #ComputerScience degree with a 4.0 GPA.

Anecdotal evidence is dubious, and you probably want to follow over time.
Then there is the question: was he broken, or just having a bad time in the short term?
@amerika @LookBehindYouNowAndThen I remember watching #KattWilliams' appearance on #BillMaher's podcast #ClubRandom, where he talked about the time when he was homeless, and how almost all the other homeless people around him were basically normal people who got hooked in drugs and lost everything. This convinced him to not do drugs.
Maybe this dude was such a man.
@realcaseyrollins @LookBehindYouNowAndThen
That must have been quite a shock, but it's not against conventional wisdom.
People on addictive drugs have their lives collapse and end up living under a bridge.
This is why we used to call the homeless "winos," because they were basically sad broken alcoholics.
What a smart thought-terminating cliche.
You have so much to teach us.
@LookBehindYouNowAndThen
lol
@LookBehindYouNowAndThen Like rehab, job training, or mental health services for the homeless? I could definitely get on board with something like that.
