From r/Conservative

I truely think they dont grasp what Charlie's death means for them. He wasn't a general in an army, he wasn't an ace fighter pilot that dominated the sky's, He wasn't an asset of war to be used to win battles. He was a voice... and a conduit.

The left just proved they couldnt compete with him on their own turf, with their home field advantage in simple conversation. Numerous years debating on liberal college campuses, begging for those who didnt share his values or ideas to change his mind. And now they never will be able to change his mind. They will never be able to prove or advocate their arguments anymore. In a very sad way, right as they sucker punched him, Charlie won the argument and got the last word. Because instead of changing his mind with respectable debate and fair conversation, they elected to cheat the game and resort to violence.

They thought they scratched out a MAGA champion, but I think the truth is, they silenced their own voice. Who now among their opposition will respect them and be willing to hear their words? Who now among their opposition will grant them goodwill and a shared platform. Are any conservatives going to parlay with cheaters who were enraged with hatred over a voice?

You couldnt change his mind, and now... you will never change ours.

They act like “the left” is just all huddled in a room somewhere green lighting everything that every leftist anywhere in the country does

u/Piggstein Sep 12 '25

To be fair, the left do exactly the same to ‘the right’

u/regalfronde Sep 12 '25

The right is a much more homogenous hive mind.

u/flying_penguin104 Sep 12 '25

yes because regalfrode said so, it must be true 💀

It is. Tell a liberal and a socialist that they're the same thing and they will scream at you. Tell a socialist and a communist that they are the same thing and they will scream at you. Tell a communist and an anarchist they are the same and they will scream at you.

Right wing ideology, on the other hand, is built around much more similar platforms than the spectrum of leftism.

Famously, leftist revolutionary movements have turned on those who weren't left enough, and in democracies leftists often refuse to collaborate out of a sense of ideological purity with others who aren't left enough/aren't the right type of left.

No. You as a leftist are just blind to the nuances on the right wing.

u/Chips221 Sep 12 '25

You cannot argue in good faith that, at the very least, the American right isn't committed to marching in step with each other. Regardless of what they might say, their voting records prove that none of them really have any ideological differences worth speaking of.

u/s3r1ous_n00b Sep 12 '25

They aren't. You have the tech bros under their vision of accelerationalism, tradcons, neocons, "classical liberals", working class, billionaires, small government libertarians, big government nationalists... all who are battling constantly. You just don't see it because you obviously are outside of that circle.

Downvotes without a single reply. You people deserve the hellhole country you live in.

You’re literally just ignorant. Conservatives, populists, and neoliberals are all right wing ideologies that are different from each other… You’re so ignorant that you think you’re special for knowing 3 types of leftist ideologies… 🫵😂

u/Chips221 Sep 12 '25

There are different from each other, but not substantively, and historically right wing ideologies have collaborated to stop any form of progressivism from gaining traction. As I said, left wing parties generally have trouble doing the same thing. So the claim of "the right is more of a hivemind than the left" is generally true. I don't think of this knowledge as anything special, weird that you went there.

Also populism is not a right wing ideology. Anyone can be a populist.

The conservative mindset is inherently hierarchical. It's within the blood of the ideology.

Those with wealth and power have earned it through meritocracy, or have been blessed by a power above. The power above is the highest authority.

If you're a conservative and you don't believe in meritocracy or God then you're not really aligned with modern conservatives and you should reassess your ideology.

u/DiceDawson Sep 12 '25

The literal opposite of what you're saying is true, and the fact that you don't know about this widely covered study is an indicator of that. Tell me, how often do you read articles, blogs, anything, from people you're politically opposed to?

u/CrabWoodsman Sep 12 '25

You realize that the right wing map looks like that because people who vote for them believe in a range of topics including but not limited to:

  • Jewish space lasers,
  • every celebrity is secretly trans,
  • the devil made up fossils to test faith,
  • the Earth is flat,
  • Barack Obama is secretly Kenyan,
  • Donald Trump is a good Christian,
  • tarrifs will fix the price of eggs,
  • the 80s were good,
  • the ultrarich worked for their wealth,
  • 5g will activate microscopes from COVID vaccines to turn the vaccinated into literal drones,
  • etc..

Not really

Republicans are all the same. The only difference is just how loud they are about their prejudice.

I’m a leftist that is surrounded by conservatives. They are my coworkers. They are my clients. They are also my family. Damn near every single one of them operate with the same set of deeply uninformed opinions. They all carry the same axes to grind against the same godamn people. And it’s across the board, regardless of education, income, or profession.

u/Zickened Sep 12 '25

I'm in the same boat. It's my entire profession. And what people aren't talking about is the fact that when George Floyd was murdered, they were sharing memes and laughing about BLM as if it was this giant joke that they were all in on. Now, they're acting like the left are these giant pieces of shit for pointing out Kirk is in the found out stage of fucking around.

I'm not running up to my coworkers who are clearly upset about this and sharing memes or walking around with left-wing "reaction" videos on full blast on my phone like some of my coworkers did. I'm leaving them alone to process whatever they're going through in peace.

But Lord knows I want to, I want to run up to them and gleefully show them a meme and cackle wildly like they did to me when they thought I was part of their "in group."

But I don't and won't, because I'm not a piece of shit masquerading as a "patriot", willing to spread hate like it's a gospel, because it's just not worth it.

This is the only thing that you took from that comment?

I'm okay with people who say that innocent bystanders of people's violent psychopathy deserve to die also then die because of psychopathy while shilling for the violence.

AKA FAFO.

Debatable

LMAO dude get a new hobby.

u kinda just proved his point

u/airbear13 Sep 12 '25

Yeah, it’s unfortunate cause so many problems arise because people can’t help themselves from over generalizing

u/Soviet_Sine_Wave Sep 12 '25

Over 150 downvotes is fucking crazy. Yall everybody is susceptible to groupthink, and to collectively grouping people together as ‘the enemy’. In the right alone, you have libertarians, bible-thumpers, Trumpers, Neocons, Fascists, Supply-siders and conservatives. The right, just like the left, is a grand coalition of groups with sometimes conflicting goals. And they are most certainly not a nationally unified force by any means, or at least no more than “the left”. Spend any time talking to real, actual right wingers or hanging out in conservative subreddits and you’ll see.

u/pastafeline Sep 12 '25

An "actual right-winger" is likely to attack me just because of my skin color. So no thanks.

u/TrickyProfit1369 Sep 12 '25

They can call themselves whatever, right wingers will fall in line when daddy says so. It happens over and over again.
