As a moderate conservative, I would like to see the end of private land ownership in a stateless, moneyless society.

As a moderate conservative, I believe in ownership and democracy. Therefore the people who work at a company should own it and have an equal vote in how it is run.

We may not agree on everything, but I support you. Let us seize the means of production together first. Afterward, we can sort out the details of our views on moderate conservatism.

As a moderate conservative, I believe in conserving natural, finite resources like oil and gas. I believe in making large investments into clean and renewable energy for all, so we can conserve the natural beauty of our land, just like God intended.

This one went past satire and is actually a good talking point

Wait... You don't think the others are real good points?

What kind of terrible RINO are you?

So I know a guy who has this as a core belief. He voted Republican until 2016 and bitched every day and pretty frequently wrote our Congress critters about how part of conservatism is being a good steward of the environment. He refused to vote for Trump. I'm not sure who he did vote for (my guess is no one) but he said he wouldn't support that fucking moron who wants to allow toxic waste in our rivers.

He loves clean energy and is big on environmentalism (God gave us the earth to take care of and the science to do so). He's also in a borderline cult church. I'm surprised there aren't more church people who think they should take care of Earth. At least then we'd agree on one thing.

tell that guy that i, a staunch liberal, appreciate him, and wish more people were like him.

I'm a far right fringe militia extremist who was there on J6 (but I did not go inside) and I'd do it all again to shift the tax burden to those most able to pay it.

Same demographic here, strongly believe a free country means free healthcare.

Why were you there on Jan 6th. Did you really believe the election had been stolen?

[–] Bytemeister@lemmy.world 16 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Yes, from the people's candidate, Bernie Sanders.

[–] merc@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

You weren't there supporting Trump? Did you have a Bernie sign or something? That must have been popular with the Trump supporters.

[–] Bytemeister@lemmy.world 10 points 1 month ago

I'm either being wooshed, or you need to read the thread and look for context cues...

[–] TheThrillOfTime@lemmy.ml 29 points 1 month ago

Lol these are the kinda conservatives we need.

As a moderate conservative I believe an economic system that benefits few at the expense of the many is inherently unstable and radical.
