I wonder why religious conservatives are mostly synonymous with capitalism supporters ? I mean arent most religions inherently socialistic ? What makes conservatives support capitalism , despite not being among the rich?

    Success = hard work.

    Hard work = not lazy.

    Not lazy = good.

    Rich / successful people = good people (unless they’re involved in godless entertainment, of course)

    Not successful = not working hard enough.

    Not working hard enough = lazy.

    Lazy = bad.

    Poor / unsuccessful people = bad people

    They do not think hard enough to see nuance. They just don’t.

    An old friend of mine once ranted to me about how poor women will keep popping out babies to get free government money & food. Like… bitch, do you know how actually difficult it is to get “”“free money”“” from the government? Are you seriously mad that children are being fed? Do you think that poor people fund their “lavish lifestyles” off government funds? BITCH, POOR PEOPLE DON’T DO THAT!!! RICH PEOPLE DO!!!

      Does anyone else see “removed” in this comment? Is the instance editing comments to censor certain words or is it just the user?

        The puritans at lemmy.ml censor “word-for-female-dog-beginning-with-B”. All comments that you see as a member of that instance are censored before being shown to you.

          Are you serious? That’s actually egregious.

            Yeah. Lookup this thread on lemmy.ml and you’ll see how all the B-bombs are censored. Also, I believe that when a lemmy.ml user uses that word, it is blocked for all viewers on other instances. Because it is censored before being shared to other federated instances.
