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.

Edit: Rule has been replaced.

Old title was "An addendum to the rules. No more using the words "Nazi" or "Fascist"."

The words Nazi and Fascist have no meaning. No one is referring to 1940s Germany or 1930s Italy. It's just name-calling at this point. You can see this all over this sub.

So the banned words has been extended from just stuff like racial slurs to include Nazi and Fascist.

Yes, I do realize this is a slippery slope, but hopefully any meaning you wanted to impart can still be done without the kindergarten-level name-calling.

Credit to https://lemm.ee/u/[email protected] for the idea.

Hell of a lot better than my "Conservatives Only" tag idea or banning bad faith arguments. It's a clear cut rule that should help with a problem without cutting down on actual discussions.

If you have any feedback/complaints/raging against the machine/questions, feel free to leave them here.

The meaning of nazi and fascist are so watered down, the terms are so overused, they only mean that the user of the term is a leftist upset with someone.

If you want to say something is bad, say why its bad instead of just saying nazi or fascist.

That comment is a month old, how did you come by it?

They’re so overused because there’s so many of you displaying that behavior.

But by all means, making it to where people can’t call you out on your shit is definitely the best way to deal with the problem. Full on head in the sand moment, right here.

Yeah, only in whatever insane bizzaro world you live in.

It’s called reality. You should try visiting it sometime. It sucks, but only because we have so many morons like you to deal with.
