    I keep clicking on these conservative posts hoping to find one worth up voting because I’m tired of the extremist left politics on Lemmy… but clickbait YouTube videos?

    Is this just a misinformation effort to divide people or what?

        Fair enough, I’ll keep looking for conservative content I feel I can up vote. Fwiw I didn’t downvote this post and did up vote your comment.

        Just trying to balance out the radicalism on here, and conservative ideology does have some valid points.

            Yeah understandable, there are a lot of radicalized useful idiots on here. I’ve come close to giving up on Lemmy because it’s an extremist echo chamber sometimes. People who clearly don’t have much experience in life and a limited understanding of sociopolitical dynamics will advocate violence to get what they want. People downvote me here simply because I haven’t closed my mind like them.

            A couple examples of conservative ideals I like are emphasis on efficient government, limiting centralized power, ensuring personal rights, and supporting families as an important social structure. Capital punishment makes sense to me in cases where guilt is clear and rehabilitation very unlikely to succeed.

      I didn’t think it was clickbait, the graphs he presents are all sourced. I’m also tired of the extremist left-wing politics on Lemmy, that’s why I posted something
