A place to discuss pro-conservative stuff

  1. Be excellent to each other. Civility, No Racism, No Bigotry, No Slurs, No calls to violences, No namecalling, All that good stuff, follow lemm.ee's rules, follow the rules of your instance, etc.

  2. We are a Pro-Conservative forum. Posts must have a clear pro-conservative, or anti left-wing bias. We are interested in promoting conservatism and discussing things that might get ignored elsewhere. All sources are acceptable, however reputable sources with a reputation for factual reporting are preferred.

  3. Dissent is allowed in the comments, but try to be constructive; if you do not agree, then provide a reason which is backed up by references or a reasonable alternative interpretation of the provided facts. That means the left wing is welcome to state their opinions, but please keep it in good faith.

A polite request, not a rule, if you feel the need to report a comment, please don't reply to it.

I have things to do today and you're wasting my time. If you can't lay out your argument succinctly, then you don't understand it. Take your time, make your argument, and then I'll pick it apart. Otherwise, I'm not interested.

@agamemnonymous I understand my point, but I doubt you will if we don't walk through it bit by bit.

If you don't have the time for this conversation that's fine. Go do what you need to do man! I hope you enjoy the rest of your day.

This is not the platform for a chain of conversational micro transactions. Your method is fine for a verbal conversation, but that method is not appropriate here.

I understand economics well enough for you to skip to your actual point. I've been reading proofs long enough to identify logical missteps in a long chain of reasoning. If you don't have the ability to condense your point into a single comment with your reasoning laid out, I doubt your claim that you understand it.

Trying to engage in a rational conversation with someone on this community is pointless.
