I live in NY. I legit only know 2 conservatives who are my 2 out of 4 best friends. That's all. My other friends are lefties, my customers are, and so my coworkers and boss. These ppl mock conservatives and their views, most without knowing i am one.. I noticed they have no goddamn idea what I believe in. They don't actually know what I stand for, save for what the news tells them.

Something else I realized; these ppl believe so deeply in their views and how virtuous they are. They so fully believe that they're right, and that their ideas are inherently righteous. If you disagree you must be wrong. Some ppl if u disagree just turn to violence.

I guess the point is, all this leftist influence makes me have to ground myself in reality. It makes me think if all these ppl believe this how can they be right? There's no one on my side, no one thinks the way I do. It makes me a bit sad to see it. I have to remember to ground in reality, and remember what i know to be true: That there are millions of ppl in this country, amd even all over the world who stand with me.

The unearned and false sense of moral superiority among democrats is truly disgusting and revolting.

I would actually have much more respect for them if they were just honest about how demonic they are. But, like you said, they have to parade around like they’re doing something good so it makes it that much harder to tolerate them.

It’s impossible to reason with a person who is so sure of their moral superiority that they believe any slight deviation from their worldview is literally evil.

Democrat politics is like a substitute religion for these atheists. If you don’t follow their rules, you are a heretic.

What’s astonishing is how the ratio got that bad. How is it that there are so many stupid people? And I know some really, really, really sharp folks who have fallen for the brainwashing. I went through the same public schools and colleges these idiots have gone through. How is it that I overcame the brainwashing?

I used to wonder how all of those people could go along with the Nazi's. What scared me wasn't that one evil man could rise to power, it was that so many would follow. Now I know how.

Most people really are sheep, and they follow the herd - right off a cliff.

It used to be we were taught "stand for what is right, even if you stand alone" to counteract peer pressure. Now kids are literally conditioned to go with the crowd, because then it is easy to convince them that the crowd believes "x." Even when that may not be the case. I used to say "everybody knows" to liberals all the time - it drives them crazy because it kicks in their conditioning.

When I took an early childhood education class - one of the first books I was assigned was BF Skinner's book on behavioral conditioning.

"The social psychologists of the future will have a number of classes of school children on whom they will try different methods of producing an unshakable conviction that snow is black. Various results will soon be arrived at. First, that the influence of home is obstructive. Second, that not much can be done unless indoctrination begins before the age of ten. Third, that verses set to music and repeatedly intoned are very effective. Fourth, that the opinion that snow is white must be held to show a morbid taste for eccentricity. . . . It is for future scientists to make these maxims precise and discover exactly how much it costs per head to make children believe that snow is black, and how much less it would cost to make them believe it is dark gray."

Yeah I always thought it was insane that the Nazi concentration camps happened and people all just went along with it.

Then a Trump supporter was shot just for being a Trump supporter and they gave the shooter an interview on Vice and everyone on the left praised his actions, for "standing up against right wing violence".

We say TDS but it is actual derangement. They're deranged. Their minds can't even question what they've been told even if they know it can't be true.

So many people are so brainwashed they actually WANT a domestic "war on terror" to airstrike Trump supporters on American soil. They think this is a good morally just thing to do. It's fucking insane.

DoubleEagle 9 points ago +14 / -5

You're problem is that you're still thinking of the Nazis as the bad guys.

Maybe they were, but they were fighting the greatest evil humanity has ever dreamed, communism... that'll make sane people do crazy things.

You should be about the Kulaks and what happened to them and how it wasn't a top down action, but the people driven to rape women and children, en masse, murdering the men and then starving because they'd eradicated all the farmers.

Understand "Kulak privilege" (yes, a real term the Marxists used) and you'll understand the current situation and you'll understand what the Nazis were fighting and why our leftist education system and our leftist hollywood has told the story the way they have.

I'm not a Nazi and I'm not saying the Nazis are good... But not were they evil, just people who stared down the absolute worst of humanity and fought back with rabid, uncontrolled desperation.

T-Bear 9 points ago +10 / -1

Yet, the evil they did in slaughtering Jews, Gypsies, and any person that did not match the criterion for the Perfect Aryan, places the Nazis firmly in the evil camp.

The Nazis and the Communists are two of the greatest evils foisted upon the world, and both are competing for the same audience for State Worship. That they fought each other with great ferocity, each thinking the other was Satan himself, is a testament of how truly bereft of good each were.

DoubleEagle 7 points ago +10 / -3

Did they?

Did you know that the Soviets ran "The Great Purge" where still wiped out the Bolsheviks, most of whom were Jewish.

Shortly after, WW2 happened and as a matter of dumb luck, every single death camp, was captured by the Soviets and not by the Americans.

Did you know that the Soviets, never signed the Geneva conventions and we're thus isolated from American POWs by the Germans. Odd that such murderous Nazis would sign such a treaty and then honor it.

Did you further know that Soviets, captured by the Nazis and recovered at the end of the war, were thrown into GULAGs? Their exposure to something other than communism made them untrustworthy.

You put way too much faith in your leftist education.

Try reading about the German civil war and see where that gets you.

If you're really bored... Have a look at those holocaust statistics:

https://www.jta.org/2017/01/31/united-states/remember-the-11-million-why-an-inflated-victims-tally-irks-holocaust-historians

Then have a look at Google's ngram tool, a fun one is "Gulag Archipelago" and "holocaust".

I don't claim to have answers, but a lot of shit that American public schools and hollywood have told me, turned out to be a pile of lies and now we're up to our eyeballs in postmodernists and I don't think that is a coincidence.

Edited: notice the downvotes on my other comment, for even daring to question the narrative. Leftists enjoyed a monopoly on violence in the 20th century.

Even if all of what you say is true, we can obviously put commies and nazis both firmly in the evil camp. Patriots fought and died in wars against both. Nazis don't deserve rose colored glasses

DoubleEagle 1 point ago +4 / -3

You're taking the left's opinion on history.

The Nazis are the only organization to ever defeat communism.

Every leftist institution will tell you to hate them, hate them like nothing else... because the only thing that can defeat the postmodern ideology, is a strong nationalistic ideology.

What was the Biden Administration's very first action? Even before he was physically in the White House? They took down the 1776 Commission report.

What, we can't say Nazis were evil because some lefties agree with us? Sure the left calls everything Nazis these days, but we are talking about the real Nazis we beat in WW2. The death camps are still there you know, Germany takes it very seriously if you've ever been there

Keep fighting the good fight fren. I too was blind to my country's complicity in destroying a sovereign nation along with 15 million of its people after the treaties were signed, along with giving the very countries whose protection was used for the basis for starting the war to the communists to rape and pillage. Someone here helped open my eyes to what the founding fathers tried to warn us about: that our media's main purpose is for propaganda, and that's goes for education and government as well.

The Nazi's WERE communists.

"German communists he had known before he took power, he told Rauschning, thought politics meant talking and writing. They were mere pamphleteers, whereas "I have put into practice what these peddlers and pen pushers have timidly begun", adding revealingly that "the whole of National Socialism" was based on Marx." https://www.independent.co.uk/arts-entertainment/hitler-and-the-socialist-dream-1186455.html

There are two basic ways of looking at the world:

Collectivism - which means government control over the masses and Individualism - which says their are universal human rights and that governments role is to protect those rights, and as such it should be limited and accountable.

The Nazi's were collectivists - they believed in universal health care, universal education, universal child care, etc. Top down government controlling every aspect of the people's lives, up to and including "doing away with" those that they saw fit. Which included more than Jews alone.

They were just competing groups of Marxists, according to Hitler's own statement.

It was a jockey for power, but the ideological foundation was the same: government control over the "masses."

Wow, you cherry picked a single statement that kinda sorta makes a point and flies in the face of basically everything else Hitler ever said.

I wish we had a way to know the good towns -- they don't get talked about anywhere and it is hard to pick up and move somewhere without knowing where to go. We are wanting to move out of a suburb and into a small town in our state or a neighboring state, but I've really struggled to even know where to start looking because even with research and even visiting places, you don't really know what it is like to LIVE there.

That said, I don't blame people for not sharing about their amazing little towns, otherwise they won't be little or amazing for long :/

"Masks save lives. They stop the flu and covid"

It's horrible the CDC hid that information from when Obama and Clinton were in office. What's wrong with them.

"Wait what?"

You just said it stops the flu, we had about 50,000 Americans die each year, probably mostly minorities because the CDC is racist. All of them got murdered by the CDC under the first black president and obama terms. How could either of them allow such monsters to run such a crucial agency?

lerm4comptroller 4 points ago +4 / -0

You now have an opportunity to start on your own without her being able to hold anything over your head regarding your future success. She's basically handed you complete control over your relationship forever. If she can kick you out over political disagreements, then you don't have to call her back unless you want to. This is forever a card you have during arguments now, if you ever even bother in the future. Imagine her trying to tell you you're being unreasonable; unless she wants to talk about this moment forever, she can't. The high ground is forever lost with you as her "kind nature" is revealed to be a façade for her demands of submission, and she can no longer talk about "how much she cares" as you can just remind her that she threw out her child during a pandemic because of a stupid political spat.

You'll be fine. You'll eventually find a place and probably a decent job to go with it, hopefully also a spouse and maybe even some rugrats. :)

She's just going to keep getting older and more bitter. Oh, and she'll be needing you more every year.

Hold the line, fellow centipede. Lots of us either are currently or have been behind enemy lines, and it's not a fun place to be. I had to move my family across the country just to live in a place that wasn't a complete clown show.

These people don't question anything. They are told they're smart, and special, and the entire world revolves around them. The news tells them what to think and they blindly accept it as reality. It's frightening. They'll fight for homeless people in front of others like them, not a single one of them will ask a homeless person if there's anything they can do to help. Their version of helping is to donate to some charity, they'll never get their hands dirty. They're too precious.

Keep doing your thing, continue to question everything, there's more of you than you know. There are meetups with conservatives and stuff, you can go check them out after work.

Get out of the city and into the suburbs and you will see that it's much different. There are still many great people in NY who hate what Cuomo and DeBlassio have done to kill it intentionally. Stay strong and find pedes to validate you and perhaps if you start pushing back with a few red pills when the sheeple discuss things they don't even know about and how GEOTUS hurt their feelings, they might start seeing the light. I know you can't completely come out of the closet on being conservative because of the backlash but just ask them some questions to reignite their brain.

Sadly, you do have to do this. Especially at work. I work for a tech school and when I worked on the academic side I was outnumbered by libs. Anyone who expressed any conservative opinions was ridiculed and mocked in my department. I tried to just keep my opinions to myself. I've since moved to IT work where I was surprised to find most of the conservatives were. It's great to be out of that environment, but we all still have to mostly keep our opinions to ourselves.

GeraldBroflovski2020 3 points ago +3 / -0

You're not alone, fren. It just feels that way. That's how they want you to feel.

Critical theory requires them to attack every foundation of what you know is true. You have to feel alone and like nothing is worth it. They need to demoralize you until you give up.

I lived in brooklyn up until a couple years ago. I had to get out when I started seeing "kill the white women" written on the subway platform. My wife and kids are white as well and I couldn't stomach them being home in that neighborhood while I was off at work.

Nj isn't that much better. I still work in brooklyn. My boss, all of the department heads, most of our clients. They are all either active post-modernists or useful idiots.

When my wife feels demoralized, I pull out the county election map. Despite historic cheating, there are millions of pedes all over the country, even within your city/state who agree with you. Staten island is surprisingly based.

Telling you not to get down probably won't work. Please remember you are not alone. When you feel that way, that's exactly what they want.

When I get down about feeling like most developers and tech are insane lefty, I'm comforted by the fact that a huge amount of the crypto community are based AF. Crypto and defi are blowing up. That's my next move personally. The winklevoss twins have a few nyc based startups that look good.

Anyway, good luck pede. You're not alone.

You must live in NYC or in a college town. I'm up in the Finger Lakes region and there are way more conservatives than liberals. But for as red as central NY is, you get in college towns, like Ithaca, they have gone full retard. A lot of old woman are also retarded. My mother is one of them. Her ONLY reason for not voting for Trump is because he was a mean person in her eyes. She didn't look at policy one bit. But then again my mother is as old as dirt and suffering from a bit of dementia. So I'm not going to start any battles with her. She doesn't have a long time left on this planet and I'm not interested in disowning her or vice-versa for what time she has left.

But she was also a huge Cuomo fan. I went to see her over the weekend and I brought him up. She said "I don't even want to talk about that pig". LOL! I told her it proves you can judge a book by its cover. Then we talked about non-political things.

DK_The_White 2 points ago +2 / -0

Believe it or not, there are a lot of people who agree with you that simply are afraid to speak their mind. As a result, they end up pretending to join the leftist crowd for fear of persecution. I know this because I have a couple of friends this way, and would occasionally get PMs on Reddit from people explaining such.

The ones who are right never have to force you to side with them. The Nazis got into power by convincing Germans that opposing political views and certain people groups were to blame for everything wrong in the world. They triggered the primal self-defense against a non-existent enemy. They blamed a boogeyman and everyone went with it one by one.

There is no boogeyman. Only a government who tells you there is.

the issue is our side is willing to have a conversation with someone with opposite views and treat them with respect even though we see things different, the other side however just wants to state their views and expect you to agree or they write you off and dismiss you. The other side has louder supporters, they have the media pushing their agenda. A lot of us have stopped backing down but the majority of us still do and that's our problem, there is more of us than them but they are louder.

I had the same feeling while I lived in Minneapolis. I moved. Life has been so much better after I moved.

I go through it every day too fren. Upstate New Yorker here, and it turns out two of my friends are commies, and one was raised Democrat and lucky to have me red pill him. But I know what you mean, it's almost like every day I need to check my sanity.

There are genuinely no leftists that can possibly believe they are wrong. There used to be, but the moment they realize they are wrong they are no longer leftists, and down the rabbit hole they go.

it's a bit of a sad feeling, isn't it? I feel like I lost my family even though they're all still alive.

A lot of the people who keep their mouths shut are probably conservative. Keep that in mind.

Not everywhere is like that btw. Where I live it's pretty much the opposite.

I know the feeling... was laid off due to covid last year and new job is full of leftist assholes (california tech). I participate in the 2 minutes of hate not because I want to but because I have to. My goal for 2021 is to live in Texas!

I just posted an old hour long interview with Andrew Breitbart on CSPAN. You should listen to it. It will definitely have you feeling better about being "outnumbered". We are the majority by 2 to 1. The lefts only real advantage is being loud. That's what it all comes down to imo. You are correct that millions upon millions of people agree with you. MAGA

Use it to your advantage. Slowly start to red pill them.

The problem is most conservatives don't just voice their beliefs to an unexpected and unwilling audience. Conservatives tend to keep their heads down and shut up. Leftists must do this to validate their existence.

Yes, that is part of the problem. But it's a problem you can't change entirely on your own. So understand we are indeed out there, and don't blame yourself. You are not crazy.

There are probably plenty of other conservatives in hiding, you just don’t know about them they way they don’t know about you. I started being more vocal here in CA and I’ve been surprised by who I find out is also conservative.

Never forget that what is going on in the US and Europe is the biggest gaslighting attempt in history

gaslighting

manipulate (someone) by psychological means into questioning their own sanity

We know with certainty that the 'right' side is moral. The 'right' side doesn't have to fabricate evidence to convict someone. Trump was the one who was about to be strung up over an alleged quid pro quo and relations to a foreign country while his political opposition who admitted on video to a QPQ and has clearly established relations to a foreign country has been given a free pass.

Never forget how evil the people in control are and cling to every lesson we learned from the past decade because it only gets worse from here unless we turn the tide.

7For the mystery of lawlessness is already at work, but the one who now restrains it will continue until he is taken out of the way. 8And then the lawless one will be revealed, whom the Lord Jesus will slay with the breath of His mouth and annihilate by the majesty of His arrival.

9The coming of the lawless one will be accompanied by the working of Satan, with every kind of power, sign, and false wonder, 10and with every wicked deception directed against those who are perishing, because they refused the love of the truth that would have saved them. 11For this reason God will send them a powerful delusion so that they believe the lie, 12in order that judgment may come upon all who have disbelieved the truth and delighted in wickedness.

2 Thessalonians 2:7-12
