Curious if anyone has the original Universal Monk comment handy.
Jeez, Universal Monk is still at it? Christ almighty.
Good. Lemmy should not be a safe space for fascists.
There's already a lemmy instance safe space of fascists, they can go there (the instance is blacklisted by the majority of other instances).
Exploding heads?
I was thinking in another one, so I guess there's multiple of them to choice.
Yes we should.
I saw, and was suspicious of Donald J. Musk. Umonk again! What a dweeb.
Didn't notice the username at first.

Literally an oxymoron and trust me, I know because I have seen more of it than any of you combined.
It’s mostly all based on: we must make leftist cry. Such seriousness, the very core of it is fundamentally a joke.
No wonder right leaning instance is just shitposts and memes galore. This is basically what modern conservatism is.
The sad fact is America needs an actual conservative movement that isn’t just nazis in hiding. Im not sure it can exist anymore as conservatives havent had a “normal” party in 30+ years
Does it though? I mean that would be better than fascism, no doubt, but what are we trying to conserve, really?
Ideally fiscal responsibility and a resistance to government intrusion in the private sphere.
By private sphere do you mean people’s private lives and activities or corporate political organizations? If the former, then I agree, if the latter then those are in dire need of disruption.
The former, the GOP used to be conservative liberals.
Conservatives haven’t had fiscal responsibility in probably near 50 years. People should absolutely stop equating conservatives to fiscal responsibility. It’s a lie conservatives keep telling each other.
The economy has always been better under democrats.
I'd seen comments about this account before and noted how the phrasing and comment behavior was a dead ringer for Universal Monk's usual bullshit. Glad to see others saw the same thing.
serious question, does shitjustworks have a reputation as a conservative community? I guess I do most of my browsing in the all feed so maybe I just haven't seen it? definitely not the instance I'd like to be on if that's the case 😅
I think they're referring to the /c/conservative community ON shitjustworks. I certainly have never experienced the instance in general leaning conservative.
I love how all the conservative comms have no legit posts above 1 upvotes.
Hm, so other bans are going to follow?
Has his Barry Goldwater alt been banned yet?
Is there something weird with shitjustworks that I’m not aware of?
Not that I know of, this is just the unhinged rant of a madman.
I think the conservative community was abandoned there, letting it go to seed with people who aren't in that cult.
It's too friendly. Something's not right.
My experience with UM et al is cavity inducing sweetness of tone while spouting racist BS.
I think the conservative com there got taken over by mods that aren’t right-wing and now exists to make fun of the right. I don’t particularly care but I can see why rightists might not love this.
lol before the takeover, every post made in there was kicked over and over like a sad puppy.
Yes I actually tried joining a few conservative communities for rational and productive discourse. The "progressive" mods deleted my good faith posts and comments, brigaded and made outright hostile comments. God forbid people seek common ground and building bridges, rather than do the exact things we get upset with "the other side" for doing. They certainly have me not rethinking my values, but certainly rethinking with whom I want to align for the greatest good of our people as a whole, regardless of political leanings.
Unfortunately the only common ground online right now is toxicity, group-think, and mutual hostility. That said, I honestly think outreach to most people on the right is a waste of time, at least online. I’ve tried to educate people for so long but the cult mentality is too strong to overcome. Maybe a more relationship-centered approach could work, I haven’t tried this. But that would take a huge amount of energy and effort.
You're generally right about group-think and hostility, but the couple of good-faith exchanges I had with right wingers may have gotten a couple of snarky replies (maybe pre-emptive defense from being heavily attacked, prior?) but also half-hearted attempts at engagement and addressing my points until the "progressives" came in and did what they do. It's sad, I don't even want to alienate others, preemptively, by calling myself that. Leftist definitely does that. And I'm probably some conglomeration of leftist and libertarian (in the global sense, not the Yankee sense) with a sprinkling of anarchism, somewhere in the mix. I'm not sure yet. I'm not exactly in the process of changing my core values, more somewhat refining them into a more mature form. It's not quite personal anomie, but I haven't found my solid footing yet on the shifting ground beneath them.
Anyway, thank you for a bit of understanding. I appreciate it more than you know.
There are plenty of conservative spaces online and it’s exceedingly rare where “good faith” and “rational” conversations are possible.
The fact that this one is a satire of that and folks are upset is hilarious to me
It sounds like this guy actually believes themselves, dang
So where is this word-for-word duplicate comment? Can anyone link to it?
At least the universal monk is being honest with their intentions with that user-name.
And here I thought Lemmy was too small to have prominent trolls. Thanks for the head's up.
Oh we had (have) loads.
You can always depend on someone having absolutely no life and an agenda to push endlessly.
Monk needs serious help.
He's a literal fascist. Let Supply Side Jesus sort it out.
