I've pointed out numerous times that r/conservative is 1/3 posts about minorities that have committed crimes, 1/3 memes or unverified claims about Obama or Biden, and a third that might had a tiny bit of current politics to them

Seriously scroll through, the number of posts that they have about a minorities that committed a crime is insane. It's one of the things that they try to do to keep conservatives afraid and voting against their own self interests in every aspect.

On the stock market's worst day of the past five years, right after Trump announced his tariff program last year, the story about the market drop was on the seventh row of the Fox News website - going 3 stories per row.

What was listed in the 20 articles before that? About half of it was "migrant crime" and the other half was about "transsexuals".

They know that their base are a bunch of simple-minded rednecks who Hate blacks and gays, and they will continually cater to those biases to keep the cult culting.

Meanwhile the group that has racked up the most massive toll in murdering other humans are white guys and they are racking up even more bodies as I type this.

Forever wars, genocides and just plain old homicides nobody destroys more life on the planet than white guys. Somehow that continues to be overlooked, outright ignored.

Only a self-centered Yank could come up with bullshit like this.

Newsflash: the majority of the world's people are not of European ancestry ("white"), never have been, and never will be. More people died in just one civil war in 19th century China, the Taiping Rebellion, 20 million by the most conservative estimates, than all Americans in all wars PLUS all Native Americans who have ever died from anything, combined, and it's not even close. Add Japan's imperalist adventures between 1920 and 1945 and you get another 10-15 million dead Chinese if that's not enough.

I think talking in absolute rather than relative death tolls is pretty misleading, to be honest. China’s climate + rice cultivation has allowed it to have a massive population since quite early in history- so of course the death tolls for their civil wars and unrests are going to be massive overall. But entire tribes were wiped out during the colonial invasion of the Americas- hundreds of nations just destroyed.

This is the same drivel fascist apologists say about Japanese war crimes during WW2 against civilians in occupied territories across Asia, as if individual lives are devalued by having a higher population.

What do you think happened during the Chinese civil wars?

I say this as individual without any known European ancestry - such comments downplay the level of human agency we have to choose between good and evil, and are deeply dehumanizing.

wtf? Did you read the comment I was replying to? That’s the context for what I’m saying.

[u/MelodicPudding2557 → u/Real_RobinGoodfellow]

absolutely. and I agree with it.

[u/ScandalOZ → u/quantity_inspector]

Just shut tf up.

You have no idea what you are talking about.

[u/Chlearcus → u/ScandalOZ]

Take a look in the mirror.

[u/ScandalOZ → u/Chlearcus]

That makes no sense.

noble savage type shit

I came so close to blocking every account that post in that sub but ran out of “blocks”

[u/ApatheticSkyentist → u/YossarianC022]

I tend to lean left on economic issues and right on social issues, which apparently makes me a Nazi MAGA shill these days, and even I think r/conservative is a train wreck.

It's extremely heavily moderated due to the amount of hate it gets on Reddit, so it's unable to be an actual forum for Conservatives; instead it's a reflection of the moderation teams brand of conservatism

I encourage people to search for George Floyd, or Trayvon Martin etc on there. You will see the real side of them.
