About USMB and it’s status as a “conservative(?) Board” etc.

[RetiredGySgt]

Freedom of speech doesn't happen for everyone here.

LOL ya you have your own section where you are free to lie and misstate and call out everyone but you are oppressed here. LOL.

 

[1srelluc]

On the front page, look at the people with the most reactions.

How many are left-leaning?

Could it be that nobody really cares enough about what most leftists here have to say to bother to react to them? If I take the time to read their tripe I'm always reminded of Charlie Brown's teacher.



Let's face it, they are a right humorless lot and are no fun to be around.....That and arguing with them is always a zero sum game with no net gain for either participant so it's best avoided.

 

[bodecea]

Let's see here, Sweetums - which of the two of us racks up the most posts showing how much she cares?

Hmmmm?


I swear that some of you must be paid by the post. If people look at the list of which people have actually made the greatest number of posts, the top ten list is dominated by you Stalinists.

I have no idea...I don't count them or bemoan them...like you seem to do.

 

[Tumblin Tumbleweed]

No. I simply point out that you miserably unhappy Stalinists aren't likely to get many because you are all so dull, humorless and full of resentment towards the world.

You are pointing out things you couldn't possibly know about others on a faceless political message board for cheap political jabs. Nothing more. It says more about you than anything else.

 

[Flash]

Factless personal attacks is not pushback. As for the ideology here, primarily right wing.

But yet bat shit crazy uppity Liberals like yourself get to spout your racist hate all the time.

 

[Tumblin Tumbleweed]

I disagree with you. And it is you who assumes way too much.

Are you seeing how valuable your contribution was, yet?

Just as valuable as yours, I suppose.

 

[Flash]

2020 wasn't stolen.

 

[justaschmuck9]

I see a Ocean of Trump voting base which isn’t true Conservatives and Progressives who are not truly Liberal and very few True Conservatives and Liberals on this board.

As for moderation just remember they are humans…

this strikes me as bs

Maybe you tell us what your definition of Conservative is?

By my own definition, which i feel adheres to objective truth quite nicely.. there are plenty of conservatives here and in fact, it is one of the few forums where conservatives are actually, truly welcome to say what they want.

 

[Circe]

It used to be the board itself cleaned threatening posts...not anymore.

Can you give an example of the sort of thing you mean?

 

[Zincwarrior]

Condoning/Ecouraging/Supporting Insurrection is something they have no problem with. As far as they are concerned, Bigoted/Homophobic/Islamophobic/Racist Language is all kinds of fine, well, right and good.

It is a far more open forum than I have seen elsewhere, I will grant you that. I would love more insult free discussion, but I accept that the forum is place for views that I disagree with, that I even find repulsive. In effect its the forum equivalent of the First Amendment. The FA is not for language I agree with, its to protect the language I detest.

And frankly its enlightening. Where else can I get into arguments and cuss out racists, conspiracists, nuttburgers, and even people that own cats (shudder), without being banned? On other more civilized forums, I cannot defend the Second Amendment without being banned as a crazy rightwinger. Inversely on different forums, I can't bring up moderate views on the Second or criminal justice reform without being banned as a crazy leftwinger.

So in the words of the immortal bard:

When you think about it, the entire Democrat schtik is to convince people that they are miserable failures in life and straight white males are the source of their failure.

Such a message only resonates with disgruntled people as successful, content people simply do not fall for the sales pitch.

 

[justaschmuck9]

Bullshit offend a Trumper and see your posts removed

good.

I wouldn't say that normally but I have been on other forums where you are persecuted and treated like dirt bc you are a conservative or devout Christian. God help you if you are both.

So if a liberal doesn't like it here, doesn't want his or her posts removed, he or she can go to one of those aforementioned forums.. Don't the let door hit your sorry liberal ass on the way out

Of course I know about you.

I read your angry tripe all the time.

 

[Dogmaphobe]

I have no idea...

Truer words have never been spoken.

I don't know what they get out of that stuff.

Maybe it's just a catharsis, getting all the rage out.

 

[BackAgain]

Just as valuable as yours, I suppose.

Holy shit! Yes. That was the point. I mimicked your inane babbling bullshit sufficiently well to get even you to recognize how meaningless it was.

There may be hope for you yet. I doubt it. But it’s still possible.

Now. Back on topic. This is a mostly liberal/progressive/Democrap/libtard board. And it frustrates the bejeezus out of many libtards here that they cannot enjoy another libtard echo chamber.

Well I think that being a leftist counts for being a miserable failure at life......Maybe that's just useful idiots....Blah, it's hard to tell them apart at times.

I have had a couple "vacations" for breaking the rules.

I have been on a lot of forums over the years, first one I joined was in 2000. This one has some of the least intrusive Mods I have found

Meaning that they let you get away with your crap. Unlike the ones you got kicked off of.

 

[Catman51]

Liars gotta lie.

Which would be why you are still active.

 

[Stryder50]

When you don't have insane over the top censorship with some element of freedom of speech I think most construe that as a conservative site.

Which is what we hear mostly from the Left side of the political divide in the USA where the Leftists/'Regressives' want correct think and group think on the views only.

If one isn't a flaming far Left Socialist/Communist then they are "evil" Conservative Right-Wingers.
