No Stupid Questions
No such thing. Ask away!
!nostupidquestions is a community dedicated to being helpful and answering each others' questions on various topics.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.

Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.
If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.
Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.
If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here. This includes using AI responses and summaries.

Excuse me. If they a re not conservative what are they?
What they are in reality is an extremist, fundamentalist and far-right strain of liberal. Liberalism has always really just been the fig-leaf ideology behind which capitalism hides... but these people calling themselves "conservatives" are really just capitalists that don't see the need to bother with a fig-leaf at all. Simply consider the behaviour of people like Trump, Musk and all the other billionaires that barely hide their contempt for the working class. They are not true fascists, but I don't see a problem with people calling them that - they certainly would like to be true fascists but lack the connection to the working class to actually do that like Hitler or Mussolini did. They are just extremely spoilt rich people living in bubbles of privilege... unlike the fascists of old.
Conservatism itself is essentially a dead ideology - the conservatives of Abraham Lincoln's time would sound like radical leftists in comparison to the people using that label today.
Yeah and "Democrat" used to mean you liked slavery. The meaning of words (especially regarding political ideology) shift over time.
These people are conservatives.
No. They're not.
But if you really wish to continue flattering them, feel free to call them "conservatives" - it informs them that their pretense is still working.
Flattering them??? Conservatism is not some holy religion but if it makes you feel better. What ever.
You seem very desperate to pretend that there really is a big difference between liberalism and (so-called) "conservatism."
Are you a liberal, perhaps?
No, im asking you if fascism isn't the appropriate description of what "conservatives" believe what is it?
I've already answered that question for you... your reaction suggests you're a liberal that didn't like what they were told.
You're reaction is that of a decomposing corpse clinging to ideas that were only relevant 30 years ago.
Soooo... you're just another liberal that doesn't want to accept how right-wing your ideology truly is.
Bro. Fuck off. You’re a conservative because you have a history of intruding in spaces where you are clearly not wanted and arguing with people, fuck off. That is not an insult. It is a command.
Oooooh, I don't know about that... it seems it's only desperate liberals that don't want real leftists around.
Besides... you don't need me to highlight the intimate links between liberalism and fascism for everybody - you and Genocide Joe managed that quite nicely.
No true Scotsman fallacy detected again, fuck off weirdo. Or should I say, Sir Real Leftist fuck off🤣🤣🤣🤣
What's the matter? Afraid your pretend-leftist schtick isn't working the way you thought it would?
What's the game plan, liberal? Praying all the Palestinians are dead before 2028?
Where are you getting this shit? Try harder not to be partisan you fucking hack.
Partisans were people who fought actual Nazis, Clyde... you know, that thing you liberals couldn't be bothered to do?
Barking up the wrong tree.
Hahaha liberals bad, im a based political commentor.
Ie... liberal.
Fuck, call me liberal. Its way better then what ever you proport to be. Call authoritians liberal, fine, nothing would get the GOP turn on themselves faster than adopting the moniker.
Youre a basic scrub pretending to know something you have no real grasp on.
What else should I call a liberal... except a liberal?
What should I call person with the mind of a child other than a child.
Ie... you're a liberal.
Fuck fuck fuckity fuck fuck. Woooooo
Language, its beautiful.
