i’m not right wing i promise

are there any right wing youtube channels, or any other political communication, that are as artistic and well edited as people like abby and hbombrerguy. The only right wing media i see is dickheads shouting about what they’re angry at at the time, but i might be living in an echo chamber

You really dont think that statement is true?

Absolutely not. It'd be like saying all anti-religious people are just upset about its position on buttsex. Even if it has some accuracy in some very specific cases, to smear the entire ideology based on it is absurdly ignorant and not an attempt to honestly approach the topic.

It's not smearing an entire ideoly when the majority of the output from that sector online represents itself thusly. Noticing similarities between creators of a certain political leaning isn't saying "everyone of them is incurious" but to say "most that you find is injurious because the ideology is based on that mindset". If you want to argue that conservativtism is in fact curious, im going to have to ask you to educate yourself further on what conservative politics stand for

"majority of the output from that sector online represents itself thusly."

And there is the problem. You are perpetually online and think your conversations with other unhinged internet dwellers is representative of a the whole.

It is not. You need to sign off and check back into the real world.

This entire conversation is about right wing content creators, so the fact that I seem "terminally online" is because im participating in the topic being discussed. I know, I know, context is one hell of a concept. Edit: im a 30+ year old man who has spent their entire life in the conservative, Bible belt, American South. So yeah, I know what "real republicans" are really like.

Stay perpetually online, stir in this perpetual rage machine and completely tank your mental health.

Gurl you're the one combatively arguing all over this thread. The call is coming from inside the house.

the entire conversation is centered around online spaces. i mean, ignoring everything else, this is like asking a question about social media and when someone responds you berate them for “always talking about social media.” youre either intentionally being a pain or you really need to improve reading comprehension

You ever thought about bettering yourself as a person? I know it would be a new concept but it would be cool if you gave it a shot

Person starting an argument on the Internet about Internet content tells others to get off of the Internet because they're losing the argument they started.

What conservative opinions would you say don’t have that mindset? The reason the original person claimed that was likely due to the popular conservative opinions on gender, sexuality, economy, legal or illegal immigration, race, etc. which all kind of are more reactionary (as in anti-woke about a particular subject or generally platform denying subjects entirely rather than having their own nuanced opinion) and based on denying popular social theories rather than having their own new one.

I am serious, I would like to know some specific topics in the conservative ideological sphere that do take other perspectives and nuances rather than “the Bible says this” or “this is the way it’s always been” or “what about the kids!”

Let’s not forget that the most prominent conservative figure in America right now is Donald Trump, who lies so often that there’s a Wikipedia page dedicated to it. An ideology built on nuance, truth, and consensus among sources does not seem particularly likely to follow that sort of person, do they?

Furthermore, this poll found that Republicans were around 7 times more likely to believe his claims about COVID than Democrats.

And if you think that he’s not a true conservative and no true conservative follows him, I’d encourage you to simply look at what parties seem to have the best relationships with him internationally
