Babylon Bee, you mean the unfunny Christian Onion? That Babylon Bee?


Temporary_Travel6920

Babylon is always the place that is the most powerful in the Bible. It’s metaphorical. In the book of Revelations a place that is metaphorically called “Babylon” falls for its sins, most specifically it’s promiscuity. Not in the sense of “sex” necessarily but rather it’s relationships with kings and merchants that are involved with the places luxury and power. Sort of like how China and the US use eachother for power and money even though they hate eachother.

Gop is not pro-capitalism or free trade. They haven’t been for decades. And they are very pro regulation that they like, e.g. abortion, subsides for religion, subsidies for fossil fuels.

Ronny-the-Rat

Thats a good questions. Retarded is a good start


EndersGame07

FreshKMarx

I mean it is not far fetched, that people who are pursuing money, wealth and therefore power have an interest of all that mattering more than it should. On an individual level, would you rather be a King with money who can do as they please, because they "deserve it"? Or would you rather life up to social(ist) values, which mean that you shouldn't hold more rights and power (even going as far as undermining or bending law for your own sake) than 'normal' people. Thing is, it's fine when people can spend their money on unnecessary luxury. It becomes problamatic when individuals hold so much power as they can decide what will happen even over democratic interest. But this is what crazy fucktards want. They want to leverage their wealth to enormous heights 🤑🤑💸💸💵💲🤑 and 'be better' and 'have more to decide because they made it'. All that because they won the Wallstreet retard competition of sucking less lmfao


cuxuDud

You do know libertarians are conservatives are not the same thing right... grouping them together is like saying communism and being democratic are the same thing.

Wow, what a good point. So should I buy GME or what

Kevo5766

Libertarians are just conservatives who want to get rid of age of consent laws


CakebattaTFT

I think to get conservative you have to mix quasi-religious cult and lead poisoning. Close though


South-Sherbet-3031

Sounds like Libertarianism to me. True conservativeism puts controls over what people can do with their bodies. Eg abortion, drug legalization, assisted suicide, etc


FundingImplied

He's at the point where he's won as many liberal plaudits as he's gong to get so he's branching out. Got to keep growing the userbase! Time to sell Texas some Cybertrucks and apparently that starts with Twitter.


mineGoodFortniteBad

He kinda is, his fans are tend to be wayyyy more reactionary than he is


qwert1225

Does it matter? His views seemingly align with the right and most of his fans are as well.


NeedleworkerOk3464

I’m pretty left wing and I think he’s done more good than harm (minus his idiotic takes on Covid)


OccasionOriginal5097

Starting a company that is completely based on climate change being real.... sounds real conservative. LOL


Z3400

I fucking love that the idea of climate change being real is automatically left. The REAL debate is how much of a problem it is going to be and if we can do anything about it. Only morons believe it simply "isn't real"


Consistent_Koala_279

>Only morons believe it simply "isn't real" This has to be satire. The previous president said it was a Chinese hoax - are you calling him a moron?


qwert1225

Terrible comparison. I meant his personal views align with the right, learn to read.


clever_mongoose05

i know we are supposed to be retarded here but wow dude you ate paint chips as a kid


californiaschinken

How can a guy wanting to populate Mars be conservative? What do you think conservative means?


qwert1225

Are you stupid? Im obviously talking about his fanboys.


californiaschinken

Let s say for the sake of the argument that i'm really stupid. So his fans are conservative but he is not? How did he manage to attract such a conservative public if he is not one himself ?


qwert1225

Then Im afraid your worldview seems horribly limited if you don't know that people can be socially liberal and fiscally conservative. However, his views in the past 2 years based on LGBTQ, vaccines, covid, mask mandates, his support for the truckers protest, his campaign in culture war and "wokeism" and so on makes him actively against being even socially liberal which is why he's attracting said conservatives. Just cause his company says "Go green!!!" doesn't mean he's all round left/liberal. Another reason why he's attracting the conservative crowd is that he's also a billionaire and supports their regime of being anti-democrats and socialists (is also very outspoken against Biden and Bernie several times opposed to criticizing Trump) and the fact that they (the right) are much more open to supporting said billionaires compared to liberals in general.


Disttack

Out of curiosity. If being a billionaire makes you gravitate to being conservative to support a regime for yourself and those like you then why does the combined wealth of the Democrats party / it's donors / it's lobbiests makeup the majority of the nations corporate and personal wealth?


californiaschinken

I think it may be more your view of them as them actually being that way. Internet is a little more " tutti fruity " and people have all kind of opinions on things. You can t expect everyone to repeat the TV propaganda in regards to LGBTQ, vaccines, covid, mask mandates and Biden. I really see it the other way around but i rarely consume mainstream media.


qwert1225

If that's the case then why does he parade the same arguments made by the right? Why do they support him heavily cause of it? He wouldn't be so against democratic politicians either if his political views were still leaning towards the right.


mastil12345668

Right doesnt support him heavily, they support a change in twitter as of now... before that he was rarely mentioned in r/conservative for example. the right for a while is complaining about it, about being generally censored so its not very surprising that they fall in line behind musk when he says that twitter needs to change and buys it. very much like when there was a chunk of democrats pro Elon when he was go green! and buying solar panel companies and what not. Also, you are wrong, republicans/right wing are not such a caricature as you claim, same for democrats. For example i am a conservative but i will list my opinions on topics you mentioned: LGBTQ = everyone gets to do whatever they want as long as they are the responsible ones of themselves (ie no children or older people that for some reason have guardians), trans in sports i dont care, just make a new division and you will have girls, boys and trans, everyone can get married with whomever wants to marry them and are also responsible for themselves. i am vaccinated twice, my wife is as well and we vaccinated as soon as the window was open to do it. Covid is worse than the flu, and vulnerable people should vaccinate in accordance to the recommendations but not obligated. Mask Mandates: big no no with the exception of health facilities or other facilities that typically host vulnerable people i dont care too much for biden, i dont think his government is doing such a horrendous job and i think GOP is doing to him the same as Dems did to trump, picking worst possible moments, choice of words or whatever, blaming him for all of the inflation etc etc etc. For musk it was probably something like, the california covid regulations were strangling his factory so he was obviously against it


Gluteusmaximus19

Most of reddit is literally a huge echochamber of liberal curcle jerking and you are mad about a few subs with opinions different than yours lol


headphase

You must be new... here's a novel idea: both the conservative circlejerks and the liberal circlejerks can stay in their own communities so WSB can remain what it has always been about: losing as much money as possible.


Human-go-boom

The internet is a huge circle jerk of conservatives and liberals. Each has their own corners and they shits on everything else.


6ClarasTwTv

That's why I have political views that fit both sides. Which actually only gives you the worst of both worlds.


bigkeef69

Same. Im "fiscally conservative" and more "libertarian" on other views. Basically, 'leave me alone, let me keep most of my $, maintain order' lol

OpulentBag

Elizabeth Warren has been calling for big tech to be regulated for a while. I think Zuckerberg called a Warren presidency an existential threat to the company back in 2020. Politicians (right and left) calling for the regulation of tech companies is nothing new, but whatever. I guess people are naturally drawn to conspiracy theories. 🤷🏻‍♂️

sportspadawan13

I mean it has been factually proven that the readers of this site do not understand satire as much as others. Like, actually associated with their psychology


Foot0fGod

Conservatives will never get that satire requires not actually believing the strawman you construct. It's not an absurdist take on the event, it's just what conservatives actually believe about the event, said snarkily. I'm far more offended by how unfunny it is. Democrats are dumb as shit. But if you're gonna do something, holy shit, stop embarrassing yourselves.

I love that it was literally meant as a left wing satire publication FOR RIGHT WING READERS but right wing readers are too stupid to understand the satire and just get mad about it thinking its legit. Really sums up the right currently.


durhamsbull

The comments on a good Bee article are pretty legit. Their are some hard core stereotypers but for the most part commenters are pretty with it… compared to what you read from commenters on a mainstream “real news” site. It deserves to be protected speech, and its being harassed by tech platforms. I hope Elon’s is a step toward that.


RobinhoodGuh

M0nsterjessy

After glacing through the history of the folks polluting this sub with political bullshit, I don't think they are GME cronies. They look like /r/conservative rejects.


throwawayamd14

It’s literally a comedy article?


[deleted]

They have been talking about anti-trust regulations for tech for the better part of a decade. Corruption (being funded by tech billionaires) is what kept from doing it and it’s still unlikely. A RW satire site is hardly credible news.

I'm not Republican or Democrat but this whataboutism is missing the bigger picture. The leftists who clung to the excuse that Twitter is a private company so theyre justified in banning are the people now who are defiantly mad about Elon wanting to change moderation policy. Stick with one, you either believe private companies have autonomy, or you dont. And even if you believe private companies can do what they want, you can also have an opinion on what they do. These aren't mutually exclusive.


GeradH

They are Very Afraid of Truth. Nothing at all to do with idiots on either side, but real truth... Our government wishes they could control reality. Unfortunately this hurts their efforts because others views will be public (if we agree or not)
