    Conservatism can’t exist in the face of criticism, it requires an echo chamber.

      Sure feels like it. I’ve seen countless low effort propaganda posts from Throwaway and their complaints anytime critical thought enters the discussion.

      This community doesn’t appear abandoned, it just isn’t a locked down echo chamber like r/conservative on reddit, the place where users are banned, posts are locked to specific users, and topics which go against the narrative are taboo. That’s straight up unhealthy, unproductive, and dangerous. We can do better here.

      Full disclosure: I am not a conservative myself but I appreciate an open community which doesn’t shut out discussion.

        Its actually fascinating to watch and nominally participate in as someone with far different political sensibilities

        Edit: i never would have nor would I have ever been comfortable engaging on r/Conservative

        Edit: I don’t mind small c/ Conservatives (you guys) nearly as much, its the hard R/ ones that I would never dare approach.

        Oh, definitely make sure to leave and make it even more of an echo chamber then.

        You’re really helping.

        Even the conservative bits? Just kidding. I’m currently mocking your lame jab with logic.

        If you wanted to list republicans that are conservative, you’d need to dust off a history book.

        That sounds an awful lot like a no true scotsman fallacy. But I agree with the rest of what you said.

          Well, seeing as you stole your original line from Rush Limbaugh and changed it to fit your narrative I thought I would correct it for you.

            I didn’t steal or change shit. I don’t listen to Limbaugh.

              Uh huh. You just happened to come up with the exact phrasing he used in almost every episode only switching a word by coincidence… Right.

                I don’t listen to, and have never listened to Limbaugh, so yes it was a coincidence.

                This may surprise you, but there is an effectively limited number of choices in the creation of a sentence to coherently convey an idea. The word suggestions above your keyboard on mobile work on that exact principle.

                It’s not a hard phrase to come up with. It’s only 8 words.

                    You got yourself a gender studies degree? How progressive.
