Actually the folks at /r/conservative are more-or-less agreeing with the left-leaning majority opinion at the moment. https://archive.ph/nYEXh https://archive.p

That happens every time. A few hours later the talking points get decided on and it’s suddenly crickets. (Plus a few bans.)

    That is legitimately scary. That's narrative control tracked live. Any comment critical of 5 ice officers shooting one guy they gave disarmed and face down in the street were deleted by the mods. I can understand this for the last ICE shooting where it's possible the officer legitimately feared for his life. Not so for this shooting. I'm divided on if the r/Conservative mods are deliberate foreign agitprop actors, Trump admin employees, or MAGA true believers.

Meanwhile on AR15.com most comments are along the lines of, "good, they should be shooting more commies".

  Is there something inherent in conservativism that you have to be a bigot to be one? I didn't know. Your comment is a bit "no true Scotsman vibes".

    However conservatives define conservatism in their mind it always ends up for a vote for the bigots in the ballot.

> more-or-less After reading the thread, pretty sure it’s “less”. The most common and fervent “disagreement” in that thread is “this should be investigated”. People who believe there’s any chance of that happening (without a regime change), have to be so embarrassingly naive that they could be tortured themselves and would still defend the torturers.
