A more conservative community without the hate

Good luck, there's a reason that conservatism is inundated with hate.

It might be a lot easier to re-evaluate your own moral compass and realize that maybe if everyone you want to hang out with is full of hate, you need to find a new crowd.

Since you were unwilling to be open or direct with your beliefs (a hallmark of conservatism), I did you the favor of looking through your comment history to try and find the disconnect. And I did.

You seem just as insufferable as other conservatives, just more sexist than racist, which is not an improvement.

At the end of the day, the right is about abusing people infavor of financial gains and controlling their lives. Whatever justification they apply to it is irrelevant. In every country all over the planet, they use different reasons but the political right is always about controlling people.

So you're looking for a community without hate, but your only willing to look at abusive communities. You're not going to find it. You need to ask yourself, why are you a conservative and why do you still want to be part of them?

Maybe if you be more specific about your stances on policies, it would be easier to find you a group.

Any hyper focused group, especially one that has an excluded "other", will form a totem idea of that other and unreasonably become extremely against that totem. So hate spirals out of control. This occurs on either ends of the political spectrum. It can happen with sports teams vs their rivals.

CGP Grey made a video a number of years ago explaining such things better. https://youtu.be/rE3j_RHkqJc.

Conservatives typically do not like discussion or debate because it forces them to look at the status quo and ask hard nosed questions. Try the religious forums - Islam, Christianity or any communities focused on nationalism. I imagine that's where such people hide.

Also, European conservatives are usually just as bigoted as their north American brethren. The major difference is that they may be less religious.

I appreciate the candid responses, and I don’t have a solution for you, but the question is an interesting one. Most of the ‘conservative’ people I know who are not interested in the typical hate-filled conservative politics seem to be invested in family and religious pursuits - home-schooling, church volunteering, support groups sometimes - things like that.

If those are of interest, there are likely to be communities that talk about them (or you could start one). However, when it comes to conservative politics, the actual money and laws that those same people support with their votes and donations - that’s pretty hateful stuff, and most of it boils down to some kind of sexism, racism, classism, or something like that.

You might try looking for more academic areas where a particular teaching, theory, or philosophy is being discussed. But daily news items about conservative politics are going to be full of high emotion because a lot of wrongs are being done every day to people and things that deserve better.

Good luck!

Lemmy is a cesspool for politics. Of all flavours. Hell, most of the internet is. Lemmy is especially left slanted though. I wouldn't look for anything remotely right wing here. Hell I wouldn't look for anything politically flavoured. All you'll find is Lemmygrad, Hexbear and Exploding Heads. All awful cesspools of different flavours.

All political subs are full of hate. Pseudonymous social media just isn't a good venue for that kind of discussion.

I blocked all political / political meme instances. Lemmy is as much of a cesspool from both sides as reddit was.

Here is a conservative lemmy community https://communities.win/c/TheDonald

Gab is a fork of Mastodon where conservatives flock. Yes, there are a lot of neo-Nazis, but you aren't exposed to it for long unless you want to be.

You won't find that on Lemmy. This site is a magnet for pseudo-intellectual, mentally ill communists. Good luck.
