I’m a conservative. I don’t mind the liberal stuff here. It’s good to learn the other side, but I don’t want a liberal echo chamber. I’d like to be more politically balanced in the fediverse. Is there any way I can do that?

american conservatives care more about denying rights and liberties than anything else as evidenced by their leaders and publicly shared platforms; so if you believe that censorship has anything to do w it, you’re not a conservative.
I think both the left and the right are concerned with restricting rights, they just have different views of which rights it’s okay to obstruct.
Which rights to leftists want to “obstruct”?
They never come back to answer that question do they?
I personally would like to further obstruct the freedom to murder children at school.
I second that
Personally I want to obstruct the right to murder schoolchildren that seems to have become prevalent but the rightwingers seem to think that’s an infringement.
Free speech is the biggest one.
Women’s rights is another.
Go on and explain those, please.
Free speech? The left want any speech they deem “hateful” to be censored, banned, and made illegal. They encourage and campaign for people to be deplatformed and banned from social media.
Women’s rights? They want biological men to have access to everything that biological women do.
Explain. What speech do they deem hateful? Why is it not actuwlly hateful? And what are they doing to ban it or make it illegal? Also, where are these leftists? They’re certainly not in government.
Such as? Also, what is a “biological man”? As far as I’m aware, biology has nothing to do with gender. It relates to sex, though. There are biological males, that’s for sure. So, it seems to me you’re just doing mental gymnastics to say trans women aren’t valid and are just. To sum up, you’re just reaching to be anti trans, and pretending this is an anti leftist argument.
Also, i thought we were talking about the left? The left are more likely to ve on boars with trans people, true, and to be against hate speech. But the left are generally more about worker solidarity, unions, busting hierarchy and removing the state. Seems you have leftism confused for general progressivism.
The “rights” to deny bodily autonomy and to enact ethnical cleansing are not worth defending.
Ah yes, the classic conservative “both sides” argument.
Which side are literally calling for more censorship? Democrats or republicans?
Great question. Republicans.
Ooh so close. Try again.
