I’m sadly moving on from lemming.world, which is shutting down. I saw a post about someone on Quora being hateful to the “damn liberals” while claiming to be a victim and getting upset over hate comments for being a bigot. What the hell…
Some are also misogynistic, the ones I’ve seen. Like on Snapchat where a lot of right-wing commenters are, someone commented “Typical woman not wanting to have a baby for her family” when a family decided not to have kids or sex. As if that’s all a woman is good for 🤢
With the right, everything is projection.
They accuse us of being “snowflakes” but the truth is they are the most fragile people in the world. Try to question them and you’ll see how they start whinning about it.
In Australia the right (gov + media) are blaming immigrants for our problems. If they get in power, they’re gonna turbo charge immigration. They’re blaming our Labor government for the housing crisis while many of the Right Wing pollies have a massive housing investment portfolio.
They were in power for 9 continuous years, the whole time blaming Labor for the economy, then next election said you should vote for them because they are good at running the economy. How can you be good at running the economy if in 9 years you can’t make any positive change that you can take responsibility for?
As soon as they’re not in power, nothing that happened was their fault.
Agreed. My cousin is actually Republican Conservative, IDK why. I mean, she’s nice and not like the typical Conservatives but maybe she’s hiding a meaner side that I don’t see because I’m a cis? white girl. Anyway, she’s not racist from what I’ve seen, she herself is black. She’s not homophobic as she said “Make sure your boyfriend or girlfriend treats you right” but maybe she’s against trans people or transitioning minors or something and wants a capitalist government. IDK
She’s just retarded🤷♂️. It’s 2026 conservatives enabled the destruction of democracy
The damn liberals are the right.
What they mean is leftists, they generalize them all as liberals though
Oh okay, just making sure. Thanks for clarifying.
Yeah, of course :)

Conservativism isn’t an ideology based on principles. It’s built on the identity of the conservative as the good guy. You cannot apply rationality to conservatives, because they aren’t holding rational positions. Whatever they say is good because they are the good guys. Anyone who opposes them is the bad guy, and anything the bad guy does is bad because they are the bad guy. If the good guy conservative and the bad guy progressive do the exact same thing, the conservative believes that it is good when the good guy does it and bad when the bad guy does it. It’s not hypocritical because it isn’t a conflicting viewpoint, it’s just an entirely subjective viewpoint that changes based on where the conservative is standing. Like imagine playing NFL football with a team that has defined the end zone as wherever they are standing on the field. Wherever they are, Touchdown! Because touchdowns happen wherever they are standing. If you take the ball from them, then it is no longer the end zone because they don’t have the ball anymore. If you push their defense back, you still can never score because the end zone moves with them.
That’s the game Conservatives play, and that’s why you will never convince them they are wrong. You cannot compromise with a conservative, and you cannot show them the flaws in their positions because they have no positions. If they realize they were wrong, they will simply move three feet to another position and decide that they were justified in their false belief at the time they held it.
That’s why you see so many leopards eating their faces, but you never see them grow or learn from the experience. It’s why they can condemn abortion and then demand an abortion when they want one. It’s why they can support violence against immigrants while being immigrants, because they believe themselves to be “the good ones.” It’s why they can insist on small government when it comes to their industry or lifestyle choices, but they will insist on regulating and taxing into oblivion anything they don’t like.
Imagine how comforting that must feel, to be playing a game where you’re always winning because you are defined as the winner. As long as you remain within the identity of the in-group, and support the same delusion in others, you can never be wrong. It’s seductive and easy. You don’t have to learn anything, or question anything, or prove anything. Your goodness insists upon itself, and everything else is evil trying to knock you off your game. You’re not selfish, you’re conservative. You want to preserve and protect the “good” which is coincidentally yourself. You want to change the “bad” which is conveniently anything uou don’t like.
It’s a pattern that always results in fascism, oligarchy, corruption, and oppression.
They are snowflakes
