      “Historians have a word for Germans who joined the Nazi party, not because they hated Jews, but because out of a hope for restored patriotism, or a sense of economic anxiety, or a hope to preserve their religious values, or dislike of their opponents, or raw political opportunism, or convenience, or ignorance, or greed.
      That word is “Nazi.” Nobody cares about their motives anymore.
      They joined what they joined. They lent their support and their moral approval. And, in so doing, they bound themselves to everything that came after. Who cares any more what particular knot they used in the binding?”
      -Julius Goat

      I hope I hear more of your voices on Lemmy. That’s one thing I severely miss from Reddit. Even if the whole site was left leaning, I could see controversial comments, or periodically visit /r/conservative to see their views. Lemmy seems to be even harder left leaning than Reddit, and there are no conservative viewpoints here. I try to avoid an echo chamber, so hope you talk more about your views even if it’s not welcome. I’ll always upvote such comments whenever I see one (as long as it’s not hate speech) to bring balance to the discussions.

      You’re being muted because the conservative party has openly admitted to being a bunch of bigoted shit heads. Being a sensible conservative would mean realizing any conservative support is also support for bigotry.
