I just searched “nazi salute” on r/conservative… and its just such insane denialism…

Like, what if musk just do the “Heil H**ler” too?

I wonder what excuses they’ll make then?

🤔

Fake News?

Deepfake?

🤣

r/conservative should be renamed to r/neonazi

    Asking if a very close relative to fascism is going to do mental gymnastics to somehow normalize even more fascism is neither new nor is it controversial.

    I genuinely wonder what kind of echo chamber you would have to live in to think saying “normal right wing ideology is very close relative to fascism” is not controversial.

    Then trying to steer the discussion towards the US democrats (still right wing from an objective position) is not only unproductive, it is obvious trolling.

    I am not trying to steer the discussion. It is Satire. Showing people how stupid the argument is by applying the exact same logic the post uses to their own favourite party to make them think of the counterarguments on their own.

      So it is untrue that a large percentage of the conservative parties worldwide are rightwing extremists? It is not true that fascism by definition shares large parts of its ideas with conservative parties? It is for example not true that a large portion of the german fascist party consists of former right wing party members?

      I think we both know where this ends my friend. Your mental gymnastics are insufficient and I‘m no longer willing to provide a platform to your fascist propaganda.

      We are more.
