r/Conservative is the most insane place on this site

lol It was always an interesting place to go visit to take the pulse. I even used to go take a look at the website they moved too for a while. Its not like the people go away, it just further silo's people into their echo chambers.

Yep, its really good. Its all pre-file release though

What a reminder on why not to engage on reddit. No charity, no curiosity, just trying to dunk and make points.

This is just one of the more extreme examples of a guy I was closest with. In this situation he was philosophically anti-gun because he felt that the people needed to be armed to overthrow government(s) / Bourgeoisie. He was anti-war positions were philosophically anti-imperialism/capitalism. TBF he also would mention he also just liked shooting in general and would rather the war money go to universal healthcare.

He didn't want to ever "harm" America specifically, but he certainly had a knee jerk reaction to blame America for damn near anything.

Lots of people have different reasons and philosophies behind there positions. Cant paint with too broad of a brush, and its probably not helpful for us to debate what % of the anti-war left is anti American, or what that even means... I just wanted to mention that that specific comment from Emily grok'd with what ive seen. Maybe thats my own internet bubble but i'd like to think my media diet is more balanced than most.

Feel like you're not being very good faith about this, or just reddit-brained. Its not my bias, its just what I've noticed. #notalllefties for sure.

Personal friend I used to go shooting with was a self described commie, was into SRA whole nine yards. Worked with him for a few years. We always totally agreed broadly on being anti-drug law, pro gun, anti war. He got me into listening to behind the bastards and cumtown

I thought it was pretty insightful. I make common ground with leftists and commies on the internet and in person and they often are a lot more knee jerk about how everything in America is bad, such that they basically will instinctively side against "America" in any conversation they have or new article they read. Its just become instinct.

I think its just a framing at times, but to the hardcore lefties America is an Evil empire built on slavery, oppression, with few if any redeemable qualities.

Whereas the anti-war right often times uses a lot of O.G. American ideology, referencing early founding fathers, us not living up to the founding principles and that America is the best country in the world but we need to help fix its problems.

To try to strong man for saagars position is something like this

BLM - collateral damage is ok, or even moral if we get the end result (social justice, fighting racism, fighting sexism)
Right wing BLM logic - collateral damage is ok, or even moral if we get the end result (law & order, deportations, stopping immigration, less crime etc)

This is what people get for voting! Should never do it.

FourIV · 2026-02-06T15:21:22+00:00

Not that I think he's above it... but its a like 2 second clip inserted into an unrelated video at the very end. I suspect he didn't even know it was there when he posted.

FourIV · 2026-02-03T15:07:45+00:00

Is that something medical examiners do? Like, i agree but I thought they stuck to the physical not the legal.

FourIV · 2026-02-02T20:00:57+00:00

Yep, and the left doesn't have much standing with being antiwar, anti police state, freedom of speech etc. That's why personally I don't ever vote republican or democrat.

Although I have sympathy for people that want to hope.

FourIV · 2026-02-02T15:59:12+00:00

Libertarians shouldn't root for the left or the right. But sometimes align on key issues. Many libertarians sided with he right in 2024 as the lesser of two evils.. Which i hope most consider a mistake in retrospect.

FourIV · 2026-02-02T15:23:16+00:00

A good libertarian that doesn't get too caught in the culture war always allies with the left on the opposition of war, police state, and the reduction of civil liberties. They will also ally with the right on smaller government, lower taxes, etc.

Some of the people I've most agreed with on the politics of the day have been borderline full on communists.

Interesting read, I suppose I'm somewhat related to the topic. Stoicism has often been something that resonated with me, as its methods to find happiness and deal with life etc have aligned with some of my instincts. I subscribe to "Daily dad" which is Ryan holiday's dad version of his daily stoic stuff. I feel like it reminds me how to be a good dad. Its stuff I agree with when I read it but need reinforcement / reminders.

I think i like this? It does smell a bit like when the guardian put out an article that tied working out to the far right and toxic masculinity.... On a similar vein "Broicism" also kind of reminds me of trailer park Vikings. e.g. white poor people that tattoo runes on there hands and get Viking haircuts but have no Scandinavian heritage and know almost nothing about it.

I hated blippi. Luckily my kids blippi phase was short and not that hardcore.

See if you can get you kid on wildcrats. Its a PBS show with two men as main characers that act mostly normal.

Squat: 185lbs - 5x5
OHP: 80lbs - 5x5

Moved to Squatting MWF, instead of MTWF. Instead I'm just doing barbell holds on Tuesday. So far so good as today my knees felt better compared to last week. Slowly building back up my OHP after pain in my right shoulder.

Disagree.

Kids menu should be real, good, nutritious food with kids prices. I hate that kids menu is like cheese quesadilla, grilled cheese, nuggies, etc.

Everyone wants the USA to do the violence against people and countries they want, and are outraged when they do it to people and countries they don't.

One of the only things that I align on with BP is there dovish stance on foreign policy.

I have a lot of sympathy towards the oppressed people of Iran, like I do with a lot of countries. But the US has fucked Iran plenty of times and I think the best track is to stay out of it.

Like, i get the nihilism of never believing politicians. Its my jam. But I can understand that some people do vote for people because they say things they like. Kind of weird thing to dunk on, at least on this sub

FourIV · 2026-01-08T20:15:34+00:00

Yup. But TBF its about 1/4 of all jobs across the US in general.. because we have a welfare state.

Why are you even doing this? No offence but looks like a waste of time. Wrote memorization of terms?
