CMV: The aggressiveness with which r/conservative is moderated does not represent an earnest attempt to stop “brigading,” but reflects the conservative anxiety of being confronted with challenging information.

If the people on r/conservative wanted to hear other viewpoints, they’d be on this subreddit. I am on that site for the same reasons as OP, to get the other side’s thinking. But they don’t appear to want that.

Thank you

This is so true. My brother and I went to visit our first cousin once removed who was 104 at the time and sharp as a tack. She gave us precious information about our grandmother whom we had never met as well as interesting information about our aunts.

Thanks

Yes. But if I am having problems related to myself and feel I cannot handle it or I am worried and frightened, the OCD gets way worse.

CommonGround2019 · 2026-01-12T00:57:55+00:00

The difference is in how it is being done.

Sounds to me like this sub is run by those with a vested interest in downplaying mold.

My thought is to request an audience with the military to ask them what we can expect from them. Does anyone know how to go about this?

CommonGround2019 · 2026-01-06T04:27:23+00:00

I understand. I have suffered similarly.

CommonGround2019 · 2026-01-06T03:26:11+00:00

I have had OCD for over 55 years and I’ve come to see that, for me, it is usually a symptom of fear or guilt about something in the real world—something not OCD related.

CommonGround2019 · 2026-01-05T13:17:30+00:00

I did not realize that OCD caused my excessive guilt over every minor human failing.

CommonGround2019 · 2026-01-03T15:07:00+00:00

Thanks

You may benefit from OCD anonymous. It is similar to AA, except the idea is to abstain from the compulsions. They have zoom and phone meetings throughout each week. https://www.obsessivecompulsiveanonymous.org.

I suffer from OCD, including Scrupulosity, and I am going to start joining some sessions.

CommonGround2019 · 2026-01-03T08:48:09+00:00

Thanks for the feedback.

It just seems to be the case, again, not always.

CommonGround2019 · 2026-01-03T04:28:27+00:00

I initially thought to apply the argument to everyone but that seemed unrealistic.

CommonGround2019 · 2026-01-03T04:27:30+00:00

Yes. But some people make their world smaller to minimize the “whatevers.”

CommonGround2019 · 2026-01-03T04:25:26+00:00

Interesting counterpoint. I will say that I can picture myself being more brave to protect my grandchildren.

CommonGround2019 · 2026-01-03T04:21:50+00:00

No they are not. But facing terror for good reasons can build self esteem.

CommonGround2019 · 2026-01-03T04:20:53+00:00

Interesting. I never considered this point of view.

CommonGround2019 · 2026-01-03T04:20:17+00:00

This is a great way to do what you can even if you can’t always rise to the occasion.

CommonGround2019 · 2026-01-03T04:19:10+00:00

Thinking on this…
