      I mean, there have been at least three documented instances where their little “gatherings” have put extreme strain on Grindr servers, one time knocking the server offline completely.

      How does saying conservatives use Grindr make somebody a liberal? I swear, the word has lost all meaning on Lemmy xD

  Why would anybody use Threads? I made an account on there just to see what it’s about and it was so shitty that I ended up deleting a couple of hours later. Most of the content is just ragebait, political misinformation, and businesses/influencers trying to shill something. For every 10 posts you might get 1 or 2 that doesn’t fall in these categories. It’s just bad, and not in a good way.

  Maybe not the right place to ask this, but why are American conservatives called conservatives? Where I live, in one of the EU countries, they would be considered extremists and the Democrats would be considered right wing.

    Overton window got yeeted so far to the right it ended up in 1930s germany

      Man, it hits so hard because it’s true.

    That is exactly American brainwashing. You are correct.

    The right and left are subjective terms. It really depends where you live and people will be more or less left/right.

    As a Canadian I think the American conservatives are right religious nuts rather than just right extremist.

    • kameecoding@lemmy.world ⁨9⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

      Well that’s not how that works.

      Right wing means you believe that some people are naturally better than others.

      Right-wing politics is the range of political ideologies that view certain social orders and hierarchies as inevitable, natural, normal, or desirable,[1][2][3] typically supporting this position in favour of conservatism, natural law, economics, authority, property, religion, or tradition.[4][5][6][7][8][9][10] Hierarchy and inequality may be seen as natural results of traditional social differences[11][12] or competition in market economies.

      Both are true.

    At least in Canada, most people I know think Liberal = anything left, Conservative = anything right. Maybe Americans are the same.

      Basically. Our Overton window is fucked thanks to the Nazis in power. Both current and historical.

    why are American conservatives called conservatives?

    For a full depth, non-lemmy-grade answer, a wikipedia article on US political ideologies explains the history & meanings.

    source
  • MTZ@lemmy.world ⁨15⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

    It comes down to how American conservatives are extremely hesitant to any kind of change at all. In the extreme cases, like MAGA, QAnon, TeaParty, etc. that hesitance can lead to fear of change which can lead to things like violence and terrorism, etc. In short, they are called conservatives because they wish above all else to “conserve” the status quo, that often being racism, sexism, slavery, xenophobia, hate groups, misogyny, etc.

      American “conservatives” are anything but conservative.

      They’re hyper liberal. They’re ripping up precedent left and right to institute how the think things “should be” as if it’s 250 years ago. The billionaires want slavery. They want to eradicate all minorities and anybody who isn’t white. They don’t have the support to do all of this all at once, so they’re starting with the people who will never support them first. Take away the support of the opposition and more and more unpopular actions can be taken to push things towards an oligarch controlled white christian nationalist organization.

      They’re spending money like crazy but only in ways that support them politically. They’re trying to drive out anything that is remotely left ideologically until the middle is the left, and then they’re next.

      And denying climate change as it would require their thinking and doing to change. They hate that the most.

    Because they want to go back to white American male rule? It’s a very selective and niche time period they want to conserve.

  • ayyy@sh.itjust.works ⁨7⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

    The name is inherently nonsense. They aren’t “conserving” anything.

  Jesus was definitely a libertarian and definitely not a conservative. Oh, except for inside a temple on markets day.

    These people do not care about Jesus lol

    • MTZ@lemmy.world ⁨9⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

      Yeah. Jesus would never recognize these people as true Christians. He would be looking for cameras and shit thinking someone was trying to punk him. Lol
