Because it's a carbon copy of reddit and it replicates all of its problems in miniature. Also because everyone in here is extremely exclusionary and hateful of anyone who isn't wholesome 100. Also because it's decentralized but not peer to peer, which means that it's basically feudalism.
I mean sure but you're using the term "conservative" which is deeply embedded in american rhetoric. You're basically saying that anyone who isn't an ardent communist or anarchist should die, which is not exactly what Popper meant either..
Conservative just means opposed to radical change. Sometimes the world gets enshittified. Sometimes a thing you gave for granted changes, and the change hurts because you know what it was like before.

Claude didn't just target the Minab school; it double tapped it. Also nuremberg etc. etc. Seriously the sooner you guys stop giving any benefit of the doubt to these chess players, the sooner we can fix society. Any day now.
Doing or thinking anything over 1 standard deviation from what the middle of the bell curve endorses, I guess.
Right. So everyone in this thread is seeing whatever the fuck they want to see in the comic, which is vague on purpose because god forbid OP actually expresses their political views like an adult, and we're all talking over each other while they sit back without elaborating on what the fuck they meant. And we think we're so smart, too, while discussing engagement bait drawn by someone with the artistic skills of a literal toddler.
Man, I feel you. You say X and then a mob of rabid dogs comes at you with "SO YOU SUPPORT HITLER??!??!". Modern online discussion is soul-draining. You know what's funny to me? That these people copy and pasted reddit, and instead of removing downvotes or at least bringing them back to a tool for moderating off-topic content, they kept them. And they still use them as a "I disagree" button, which is against the original purpose of the reddiquette that no one ever read. Also they made it decentralized but not peer to peer, so basically they ended up promoting reddit mods to instance admins. Amazing revolutionary pragmatism.
Popper's paradox of intolerance is something that is never discussed by online leftists. Why is that? How can you respect people who will put you in an oven the moment they gain power? Don't you see how you're literally enabling them by pretending to hold a moral high ground that doesn't exist?
The internet trained us to think that anything remotely hostile or "hateful" is an indictment on a person's soul. That if you don't accept everyone unconditionally you must be a monster. But my immune system keeps me alive by literally eradicating foreign pathogens that pretend to be benign. If my immune system didn't do that, then not only I but humanity itself would not exist. So what gives?

Replace that with "power seems to actively hate the idea of anyone having anything that remotely looks like choice". Mostly because everything is determined. And they know this. They understand that nothing is up to chance. We're perfect little bots who respond deterministically (albeit chaotically) to sex, advertisement, gambling, propaganda, drugs, and so on. Basically all aspects of modern life are designed to chip away at your degrees of freedom. Consider a mortgage, for instance. It locks you into a job so that you can't afford to quit anymore, or you end up destitute. Then consider marriage: it exists so that you buy a house and so that you have children in it. Every choice we think we're making clicks like a ratchet and locks us into a lower energy state that's easy to control.
Or... and I'm prepared to receive flak for this. But consider transitioning in the US specifically. On one side you have Dems coddling you, and on the other side you have Republicans threatening to murder you. So once you transition you're a Dem voter for life even if you don't agree on their other policies. Both parties are playing the same game behind your back.
