A community to satirize conservtive and right-wing "ideals".

This community (now) exists as a pressure valve, a place to process through humor the often frustrating world of conservative politics. Above all, this is NOT the place for serious conservative support/viewpoints/arguments. There are other places on Lemmy for that if you desire it.

Rules:

  1. Always follow .world instance rules

  2. Parody With Purpose: This is a space for humorous takes on conservative politics. We welcome satire, but draw the line at content that promotes racism, sexism, homophobia, or other forms of bigotry.

  3. Memes Over Manifestos: This community focuses on humor and parody, not serious political debate. There are plenty of spaces for earnest conservative discussion, this isn’t one of them.

  4. Highlight Contradictions: Sometimes the best content points out inconsistencies and hypocrisies in conservative talking points. Creative commentary is encouraged.

  5. Public Figures Fair Game: Politicians and pundits can be satirized, but no targeting of private individuals, doxxing, or harassment.

Children of public figures under the age of 14 are also off-limits, a 16 year old has enough free agency to break with or adopt their parents views. An 8 year old kid doesn't.

  1. No News Zone: Memes only, news or other serious content should be sent to the nearest relevant comm. Meme's of current events, however, are encouraged.

  2. Clear Satire: Make your satirical intent reasonably clear. We’re here to mock bad ideas, not accidentally spread them. If you're unsure how it will be taken, feel free to DM the mod team ahead of time or explicitly tag it as satire in the body.

A note on ChadMcTruth: Chad's content is 100% satire, but his work can sometimes be hard to tell, but if he posted it be assured, its satire.

  1. Relevant Content: All posts should relate to conservative politics or ideologies in some way somewhere in your post. Either in the title or the meme itself.

For more general political memes please see !politicalmemes@lemmy.world

  1. Community Respect: Disagree with fellow members all you want, but personal attacks aren’t welcome. Save the criticism for the ideas, not each other.

  2. Moderation Discretion: Mods will use reasonable judgment in applying these rules. We’ll be fair, but firm. These kinds of comms have a tendency to get off the rails, so we might seem overzealous in moderation sometimes.

  3. For the moment, i'm allowing properly tagged NSFW content as long as its funny and relevant. Don't make me regret it.

And above all, HAVE FUN!

I think they were referring to the new pandemic part.

Well our health is in the hands of an anti-vaxxer with brain worms who' s floating some pretty fucking stupid ideas. So that makes our populace a lot more vulnerable to disease. So a new pandemic is back on the table.

The risk is higher yes, the way you stated that made it seem like there was something beginning to spread or that was very imminent... Like if the most recent bird flu had jumped to humans. That's why I was asking. Definitely agree there is more risk, but I wasn't sure if there was something going on we weren't aware of.

The recent bird flu has jumped to humans. Last I read, a few people have died from it.

The big news would be the first case of human to human spread, which has not occurred yet to our knowledge.

I'm seeing a lot of "could" and "might" and hearsay, but ya, unless it goes from human to human I am not that concerned... Just because there are so many other things more pressing to be concerned about, not that it's something that should be ignored or anything.

Can you show your work?

But let's not move the goalposts. I'm not saying there is nothing more pressing; I am saying that this is more pressing than the price of eggs. In fact, this is more important than having a domestic egg industry at all.

I just googled "bird flu transfer to humans"
