conservative
A community to satirize conservtive and right-wing "ideals".
This community (now) exists as a pressure valve, a place to process through humor the often frustrating world of conservative politics. Above all, this is NOT the place for serious conservative support/viewpoints/arguments. There are other places on Lemmy for that if you desire it.
Rules:
-
Always follow .world instance rules
-
Parody With Purpose: This is a space for humorous takes on conservative politics. We welcome satire, but draw the line at content that promotes racism, sexism, homophobia, or other forms of bigotry.
-
Memes Over Manifestos: This community focuses on humor and parody, not serious political debate. There are plenty of spaces for earnest conservative discussion, this isn’t one of them.
-
Highlight Contradictions: Sometimes the best content points out inconsistencies and hypocrisies in conservative talking points. Creative commentary is encouraged.
-
Public Figures Fair Game: Politicians and pundits can be satirized, but no targeting of private individuals, doxxing, or harassment.
Children of public figures under the age of 14 are also off-limits, a 16 year old has enough free agency to break with or adopt their parents views. An 8 year old kid doesn't.
-
No News Zone: Memes only, news or other serious content should be sent to the nearest relevant comm. Meme's of current events, however, are encouraged.
-
Clear Satire: Make your satirical intent reasonably clear. We’re here to mock bad ideas, not accidentally spread them. If you're unsure how it will be taken, feel free to DM the mod team ahead of time or explicitly tag it as satire in the body.
A note on ChadMcTruth: Chad's content is 100% satire, but his work can sometimes be hard to tell, but if he posted it be assured, its satire.
- Relevant Content: All posts should relate to conservative politics or ideologies in some way somewhere in your post. Either in the title or the meme itself.
For more general political memes please see [email protected]
-
Community Respect: Disagree with fellow members all you want, but personal attacks aren’t welcome. Save the criticism for the ideas, not each other.
-
Moderation Discretion: Mods will use reasonable judgment in applying these rules. We’ll be fair, but firm. These kinds of comms have a tendency to get off the rails, so we might seem overzealous in moderation sometimes.
-
For the moment, i'm allowing properly tagged NSFW content as long as its funny and relevant. Don't make me regret it.
And above all, HAVE FUN!

even corporations wouldn't be stupid enough to fire people working on H5 response at the onset of a possible pandemic. If you end up removing people in critical roles then you delay response to a situation where weeks matter.
This, but the opposite. This whole thread has been you saying stupid things for your own emotional needs. You know, if this is just your defense mechanisms speaking, you'd get just as much out of it if after composing your comment, you clicked "Cancel".
Most? By what metric, hopefully not your wishful thinking and only focusing on articles that support your views. I would really like to see your science sources on this. And by sources I don't mean science articles that discuss H5 is not a near term risk (for every such article I can easily find you one that says it is), I mean some sort of literature review that shows MOST experts in the field are not worried. I am educated enough to know the dynamics is complex and the situation is at best unpredictable. Common sense worth a grain of sand requires we should be on alert mode until the animal endemic is over, not firing possibly essential workers because it looks cool when you do it wielding a chainsaw. If we are just gonna trade articles though I will start:

"On January 6, the Louisiana Department of Health announced that a patient hospitalized last month for H5N1 avian influenza had died, becoming the first U.S. death from the virus. To make matters worse, samples taken from the individual suggest that the virus mutated within the patient after infection—meaning it had begun to adapt to infect humans better—raising new questions about H5N1’s pandemic potential. "
My gut feeling is that you are a troll but nevertheless your questions help inform other people who are on the fence about such stuff so thanks.
Do you think that they are being fired based on merit?
Who do you think brings the relevant experience and science into practice for pandemic response? People who were fired.
Less an intentional troll than someone with an insecure worldview that needs to bullwark it with talking points received from the conservative hivemind and other forms of self-deception.
