As much as I dislike conservatism, in this day and age I feel like they are the sane ones on many issues.

Extraordinarily low standards for sanity. They are not our friends, and will turn on us the second it's convenient.

Yep. Just because they say the sky is blue that does NOT mean they're on our side.

It seems that we have common enemies, though. Both of us suffer from the same censorship these days.

I find it darkly amusing that the censorship machine has banished both communities to the same alternative site, and I feel like a rare bird, to be part of each. There is definitely an overlap of common interests and enemies, though it depends on the strain of conservatism. You'll find some who refuse whole hog idiot-tier wokeness and object to neo-liberal cultural domination, while fully accepting biological realities and women's rights.

Yeah it's funny. Imagine a site that consists of all the communities banned from reddit. What a company that would have been! The_Donald, incels, conservatives, feminists, ultra-left wing (like that Chappo subreddit? although I heard that was a martyr for an excuse to ban TD). I never thought a day would come when I'd feel kinship with all those groups, but now I do. IMO unless a group promotes violence, they shouldn't be banned.

Likewise, kinship through hardship. Unlikely allies are created when we're all subject to the same hostile forces. Who's the real enemy? The one that would silence our ideas. I'm happy to share a platform and actually discuss points of difference instead of wasting words in a dull, uncontroversial echo chamber, which is what Reddit's become. Chapo may have been a sacrificial lamb to deflect accusations of political bias, but even so, it shows how little regard Reddit actually had for that community, and their members should take note - no one's safe, it's a slippery slope once censorship begins.

After finding GC months ago, and watching Fall of the Cabal on Bitchute the other day, the liberal bias was exposed for me. I've never been conservative, I think they're one party posing as two, but I didn't realize how nefarious the left was, too.

How so? Sincere question!

Well, for one, conservatives are usually gender critical. They also seem more reasonable when it comes to other leftist craziness - for instance the BLM stuff (talking about non-racist conservatives obviously) - those who don't support violent protests, looting, but admit race discrimination exists. However if you mention it on left-leaning subs, you're the bad racist guy.

Most conservatives aren't critical of gender at all, they believe in gender and think it's innate for women to be feminine and men to be masculine.

I think you'd find many more conservatives who say "girls can become anything they want" before you find one who says "girls can become boys" though.

I meant that they are critical of trans ideology.

[–]Anonimouse 21 insightful - 2 fun21 insightful - 1 fun22 insightful - 2 fun -  (0 children)

But trans and gender ideology are different. The conservatives still believe gender is innate and gender roles are good. They just don't think we can change clothing and change roles.
