I’m a conservative. I don’t mind the liberal stuff here. It’s good to learn the other side, but I don’t want a liberal echo chamber. I’d like to be more politically balanced in the fediverse. Is there any way I can do that?

    Getting news from YouTube explains a lot dude. You think all doctors are the same? Equally credible? There are no crazy, stupid, or malicious doctors? What kind of doctor would be most likely to be making youtube videos?

    Unfortunately most of the more “conservative” instances became highly toxic and so most other instances have defederated with them.

    Let me know if you do find a more moderate space, because yeah, it’s very much an echo chamber on most Lemmy communities.

    I might recommend checking out certain communities that tailor more to your hobbies rather than politics on here.

    Just a reminder that it isn’t a left vs right conversation. It’s working class vs ruling class.

    You aren’t bitter at leftists, you’re bitter at the ideas that media companies use to keep you angry at leftists instead of oligarchs.

    If you have to work, you’re working class.

    If you actually do hate certain types of people, then you need to work on yourself.

    If you don’t believe certain people need health care, then you need to work on yourself.

    If you believe ultra wealthy (people making over $10mil in income annually) deserve more tax cuts, then you need to work on yourself.

    If you don’t believe that minimum wage should have parity with inflation, then you need to work on yourself.

    Have some class solidarity.

    EDIT: To all those downvotes… Ask yourself why you are downvoting me. (Now with 100% more sources)

    Do you actually hate certain people? Really? But you’re downvoting me? Work on yourself.

    Do you actually believe you don’t deserve health care? That others don’t deserve health care? Seriously? Work on yourself.

    Are you super wealthy (low percentage chance)? I’m saying uncomfortable things to you. But you can easily afford those taxes so maybe work on yourself.

    Do you believe people working for minimum wage shouldn’t be able to afford an apartment by themselves anywhere in the USA? Work on yourself.

    Thank you for asking this question. I’ve wanted to do the same, but didn’t want to get dogpiled.

    I don’t even need something strictly conservative, just something not sooooo extremely aligned with Marx and nihilism.
