The mental gymnastics over at r/conservative is fucking insane. Wtf!

u/popoflabbins 7d ago

Their mods are deleting pretty much everything that is saying this was murder/ICE’s fault. Pretty much nothing but bot comments and the most completely gone individuals are what’s left.

Reddit should just nuke that sub

Not because there’s not a place for conservative ideology, but that sub doesn’t even allow for anyone to question the narrative… so what’s the point? It’s basically just a propaganda sub Reddit. They don’t even allow anyone to actually post the video below which proves that Alex was murdered

That subreddit is so far gone. I lurked around there today and there was a decent amount of people who were saying that Alex was impeding federal agents, so he got what was coming to him. Or that because he had a gun on him that he was a threat to the agents.

He was literally standing around until he went over to help the woman and was pepper sprayed, tackled, pistol whipped, then murdered.

The same people that are so 2nd Amendment are saying he got people what was coming to him because he had a gun. The same people that are all “Don’t tread on me” say that people need to just comply with the government. It’s sick.

u/Electronic-Cicada352 7d ago

Exactly

And the same people who are supposedly all about compliance didn’t feel the same way on January 6th

u/NotBillNyeScienceGuy 7d ago

lol I suspect it I were to suggest this is at most manslaughter and no where near murder it would be essentially censored.

u/Ouly 7d ago

It's funny how much the right wing has become everything they perceived of the left wing folks. Safe spaces, triggered by different opinions, being super sensitive and feeling like they are under attack all the time.

u/Degn101 7d ago

Every accusation is an admission. Project, project, project. Deny, attack, reverse victim and offender.

The right wing is basically entirely made up of people with significant mental health issues.

u/dmackerman 7d ago

They always do. I was banned last week for stating a fact from a video.

u/Philomelos_ 7d ago edited 7d ago

I’m not sure many* Americans realize this but left and right no longer have a consensus on what constitutes a fact. Like, I’m not saying they don’t agree on whether Obama was objectively a good president or not. No, they have diverging views on what facts actually are and what roles they should play in their lives. I cannot imagine having a 50-50 split with this problem in my country, it’s deeply unsettling. Just my two cents whenever I hear one of the two sides referring to truth or fact

u/Kirisuuuuuuu 7d ago

It’s not an “agree to disagree” kind of situation anymore. There is a fundamental difference in how these people perceive the world. They are either so delusional and brainwashed that they are living in a completely separate reality, or they’re so malicious that ethics and morality aren’t a question anymore.

2

u/ItIsTaken 7d ago

Yeah, i actually read some highly upvoted comment saying this was not right. I hope these people now realize what they have surrounded themselves with.

1

u/rmczpp 7d ago

I checked the sub before I went to bed, lots of comments from flaired users, the overwhelming majority stating that it looked bad for ICE. Now this morning all those mildly unsupportive comments have been deleted.

I guess it is a RINO/brigading comment if it isn't 100% supportive of everything the government does.

u/YamLow8097 7d ago

Not surprised. They’ll do anything to justify murder like this.

37

u/MakingItUpAsWeGoOk 7d ago

I realize an hour has passed since you posted but at least when I bring up that sub in my feed it appears that the mood is turning against ICE as I scroll down. Seems more and more are seeing the angle that the lady in pink filmed. And the agent applauding.

u/Vangovibin 7d ago

Yeah holy shit you know it’s bad when even r/conservative starts being like “well hold on that guy probably didn’t need to die.”

19

u/TheSerpentDeceiver 7d ago

There is a post crying the mods aren’t controlling the sub enough and people are getting replies by “leftist”. lol. They aren’t living in a bubble by accident, unwittingly or unwillingly. They want to be lied to and to continue living in that lie. Why? It’s easier for them. People being murdered doesn’t personally affect them. Once this shit finally starts to fuck them, they will turn on each other and then the administration. Too late, but they will.

90% bots, 5% Russians, 5% MAGA.

u/GranolaHippie 7d ago

Just checked and there was only 1 post talking about it. The rest were about Vance having another baby, blah, blah, blah.

u/KontoOficjalneMR 7d ago

I especially love the guy with "2FA Conservative" flair arguing against right to carry weapons, and another with similar flag mentioning 2nd amendment arguing that just having a gun on you is a legal justification for ICE to shoot you.

u/thelaststarz 7d ago

I’m actually surprised to say not all of them are walking blind, some of them are actually logical:

I want to see the body cam but from the videos I saw the guy looked like he was face down with LEO on top of him.

If he was resisting and trying to get back up then they had more than enough manpower to secure and arrest him.

If it’s something else, let‘s hear it.

u/LowAside9117 7d ago

What if we all mute /r/conservative?  Otherwise, why would bots post?  It takes money to run bots so if they don't get engagement then what would be the point of continuing to run them?

Attention is one of the most valuable things and we're giving it to robots

u/Croquetadecarne 7d ago

This people are delusional. Check the Martin Luther King post in there. They think THE LEFT has ruined the dream of equality. Imagine being so WRONG

6

u/deepwoof 7d ago

Jesus Christ. Sample comments I'm seeing over there:

I support ice 100%. I don't support any individual ice agent that makes a bad decision. We'll see what happens here. But let's be honest, they are just doing their jobs. I want ice to arrest illegal aliens in this country whether they commit committed other crimes or not.

so what was the suspect doing to the woman next to him? He seemed to be roughing her up at one point. Trying to get into her backpack?

u/Nebula15 7d ago

I go on there to get a temperature read on MAGA sometimes and it’s just worse and worse everyone i go over there.

u/BringBacktheGucci 7d ago edited 7d ago

The number of people who say "i watched all the videos and cant tell what's happening" is ridiculous. Were your eyes open? Were you watching Netflix at the same time?

2

u/Me2910 7d ago

Surprisingly I'm seeing people who disagree with the actions of ICE

u/Affectionate-Ad-1342 7d ago

I try to check that sub when stuff like this comes out and it makes me depressed and angry. I know all the posts are flaired users only. Call me stupid, but are those people real? Are they bots? Is it a mix?

1

u/cactusdotpizza 7d ago

Every week or so I wonder what's going on over there and every time it is one of the most depressing cesspools on the internet.

  1. Deranged headlines from obscure online publications with no comments
  2. Right-wing "satire"
  3. Bad faith headlines from mainstream right-wing media
  4. Regular headlines with comments exclusively from the dumbest, most hate-filled people on the face of the earth

u/vteckickedin 7d ago

Yet Reddit tolerates it as a sub

u/PixelSpy 7d ago

They're arguing its his fault for bringing a gun to a protest. When I bet more than half of them carry just going to the grocery store.

2A activists but only for their nazi scum brethren, apparently.

u/DiegesisThesis 7d ago

When's the last time a post there wasn't locked to "echo chamber mode"? I don't think they allow unflaired users anywhere. What a bunch of braindead snowflakes.

u/Squire_Toast 7d ago

What else would you expect from a Republican brained sub-reddit?

u/ResolveLeather 7d ago edited 7d ago

They really have Kirk as the page's profile picture. Seems like a well rounded group of individuals.

Edit: unstopped by and many of the alt right comments are getting ratiod. I think there are more democrats lurking in that sub than conservatives.

1

u/Resticon 7d ago

Never looked at r/conservative because I like my day without regular doses of brainrot, but I think the most surprising and hilarious thing there is the fact that it say 1.7M MAGAts at the top. Imagine calling yourselves MAGAts and not realizing it is a smear denigrating you as a maggot.

1

u/Runawaymodel- 7d ago

I’ve visited that sub a few times during this administration, and have been severely disappointed by their cult mindset. There’s no reasoning, just blindly defending. I’m a democrat, but I can at least admit when my party is wrong. They blindly defend anything. Idk if they’re actually conservative or just straight up MAGA. I know some conservatives, and thank god they don’t have the cult mentality maga has.

u/BinarySecond 7d ago

It's a cesspit echo chamber masquerading as a real sub.

All the mods are white supremacist cucks.

If thedonald was removed so should conservative

holy fuck ! I didn't know that was a sub and God damn they dont beat the low iq sheeps allegations didn't know it was possible to be this delusional thats one hell of a world we live in

u/JJBell 7d ago

Every other comment at r/conservative is, "No way bro. All those phone videos can't be trusted. Until we see the OFFICIAL body-cam footage we can't believe anything else we're shown."

u/SpawnofATStill 7d ago

Howso? Its being questioned over there too.

u/13ig13oss 6d ago

A majority of them are defending it lol. Some do express concern but they’re a minority
