2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.


Obvious right or left wing sources will be removed at the mods discretion. We have an actively updated blocklist, which you can see here: https://lemmy.world/post/2246130 if you feel like any website is missing, contact the mods.

Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.


4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source.


Posts which titles don’t match the source won’t be removed, but the autoMod will notify you, and if your title misrepresents the original article, the post will be deleted. If the site changed their headline, the bot might still contact you, just ignore it, we won’t delete your post.

If a source you used was already posted by someone else, the autoMod will leave a message. Please remove your post if the autoMod is correct. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.

Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.

Almost like they are actually an enemy that infiltrated America

Implying that they're coming from the outside and aren't home-grown conservatives

The movement could've infiltrated from the outside and has co-opted the home-grown conservatives

[–] dactylotheca@suppo.fi 2 points 2 months ago (2 children)

Yeah sure, you can tell yourself whatever you need to to keep believing that evil foreigners are the reason conservatives are like this

[–] otp@sh.itjust.works 6 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Are you genuinely not familiar with the foreign money that goes into funding far-right movements in the West (and the US in particular)? Or the various international parties who stand to gain from having Trump elected?

[–] dactylotheca@suppo.fi 1 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (1 children)

You're moving the goal posts. How do those prove "conservatives have been co-opted by foreign agents" and not just that conservatives are happy to take funding from other shitty people? You seriously think conservatives wouldn't be fascist-adjacent if Russia wasn't paying them?

No, I'm not moving the goalposts.

Your position seems to fall under black-and-white thinking. Either they're home-grown, OR they're manipulated through external influences, but not both. I'm saying that both are true. If you also believe that both are true, then we're in agreement and I don't think we need to argue about anything.

Foreign influence or not, they propose bad ideas and lie about everything to justify their bad ideas. Something that would irreparably damage a nation given enough time and they've had decades.
