No, just the views that are constant lies

Conservatism in the use has nothing to do with actual conservative thoughts, quite the opposite, really. It's just a cover for the rich to steal from, and control the poor.

Ant conservative media in the use today is just one large stream of lies, lies, lies. Anything to keep you distracted from the fact that they're stealing the coffers empty, anything to keep you so angry about "the others" that you wo t even consider talking to them to realise that you've been played

So you mean misinformation, not conservatism.

[–] phoenixz@lemmy.ca 1 points 2 months ago (3 children)

Yep, but right now those two are mostly the same, and constant. Especially in the us

[–] the_three_tomatoes@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Yeah, mostly. The fact that they aren't exactly the same and aren't synonymous is why makes this meme post stink of censorship imo.

[–] phoenixz@lemmy.ca 1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

It's censorship for sure, but I'd dare to argue that not all levels of censorship are bad

Ok... but the level described in this meme is the bad one (aka absolute censorship).
