Wow, you fantasized about killing someone? That basically makes you a war hero. You truly earned this: 🎖️

Man, I wish I could be as cool as you. You make it look so effortless. “Do you need a tissue?”

Dude, how do you think of these comebacks?

I’d say it’s far more about the conservative descriptor than the Christian one.

Personally, I’d much rather have a Christian friend who aligned with my values of celebrating diversity, defending personal liberty, and making the economy work for everyone instead of a select few over an atheist who constantly cries about “wokeness” and “cancel culture.”

People who identify as conservative Christians are frequently white nationalists who are more concerned with which genitals are in what bathroom or kicking brown people out of the country than preventing people from freezing to death on the street. If that’s not you, wonderful; but at least in the US you are indeed a rare breed.

I’m curious: what value does conservatism as a concept hold for you?

Anyway, know there is a lot of hate for conservative/ Christian views around here, so any TIPS on where to find a ‘safe space’ to be me & express my self, and how to limit/block toxicity would be appreciated.

People don’t care about religion here like they do (did?) on Reddit. Some dweebs might get worked up, but it’s far more chill here.

People here are often wary of conservatism though because it’s an inherently reactionary ideology that seeks power by attacking targeted populations; that’s what upsets people, and the fediverse is full of those who have been targeted by such campaigns.

Almost nobody will care that you’re Christian, but nearly everyone will be upset if you antagonize trans people. If your faith is about personal improvement, that’s chill. If it’s about controlling people whose lifestyle you hate, then this isn’t the place.

It’s so sad how reactionaries get everything they want and still can’t be happy because they want everyone to agree with them.

You’re like a wilting little daisy, beautiful and heartbreaking in your desperate, drooping deterioration. Thanks for sharing your pain with us.

I think we found someone who exclusively talks in thought stopping cliches!

The only thing that surprises me is that there was something to stop.

Right? Why would people hate the guy who does Nazi salutes, sends goons in to disrupt the services that our taxes pay for, bought a presidency, calls someone who rescued kids a pedophile, pretends to be good at things to get gamers to like him, jokes about the people whose lives he ruined, says “empathy is a weakness,” shut down communication with Ukraine while they were at war, misgenders his own kid and spreads transphobic hate online, is a primary source of disinformation, and doesn’t pay his fair share of taxes?

You’re right, he sounds cool af… to dorks.
