and then they called Moses a socialist

You missed the part where they said, "No I don't, but I'll ruin your life if you teach it!"

It's only taught in higher ed, so this clearly didn't happen. /s

I hate humans. We're so fucking stupid it hurts.

And people wonder why so many people hate being in public..

I wish it really did hurt to be stupid. Those suffering from it would be much more inclined to correct the condition rather than delighting in it like they do now.

"Conservative Christian" is and oxymoron but having never read any Jesus, its easy to identify that way.

First of all you don't become a conservative Christian by being willing to read. So lets imagine DeSantis misspoke and said "The only way to ensure that Trump can violate The Constitution and overthrow our democracy is to read the New Testament and understand it"

Here are some probable outcomes:

They see that Jesus is a leftist and can no longer call themselves Christian, when asked their religion they say "none, atheiest".
They see that Jesus is a leftist and conclude that the bible was simply written by leftists and that it isn't true.
They see that Jesus has good ideas, unconsciously redefine what conservative means to them, and stay quiet until someone they considerd a friend angrily calles them a libtard for stating one of jesuses teachings in disagreement of something thet had repeated from facebook.
They see that Jesus is a leftist, they trust in their lord choosing his love and reason over the hatred and fear of man and can no longer call themselves a conservative.
They conclude that Pontius Pilate and the Roman government where the good guys and Jesus was an evil libtard who earned his crusofiction and they start worshoping Pilate instead.
The whole thing goes over the readers head
They strengthen their belief by ignoring parts that clearly don't fit their belief, and twisting anything that can kind of fit their beliefs.

It’s sad really. This post was the final straw for me. I’ll be unsubscribing. I saw the same thing happen dankmemes. Post after post of politically charged, right leaning nonsense. My tinfoil hat says it’s intentional to kill Lemmy, and honestly it’s working.

......right leaning?
- Yes, this post when interpreted as ironic, is making fun of socialism and CRT. Regardless it is leveraging oft used conservative boogeymen buzzwords for a joke. It dilutes the original use of the words, and whether or not intended, degrades their meaning. It’s a very common tactic of fascism and hard right actors. It’s exactly what Trump did when assuming the ‘fake news’ moniker and repurposing it to attack media. This entire site has been circling the drain for some time, and the downvotes just prove none of you value actual discussion.
New copypasta dropped
Is that reply missing an /s or is the poster missing the point?
- Pretty sure the guy just missed the point by a country mile
A post saying racists are idiots is right-leaning? What? Lol
It's not right leaning
You unsubbing is not going to kill Lemmy
- Or disappoint any of us.
- Lemmy was already dying, just look at plots of active users since the Reddit API flap. It’s going down not up. The sooner it does, the sooner a stronger decentralized platform, or newer version of Lemmy, can take it’s place. It’s current iteration is a rickety Reddit clone that suffers from rolling defederation.
Right leaning?? This is quite the opposite, but yeah political either way
I wish my tinfoil hat could talk
- It does, just not to you.

Can we make c/politicalmemes and keep this sort of content there? It's clearly a point of division in the community, we should be more accommodating for apolitical folks.

Ah yes, the political issue of education and racism.
- ...
  Yes?
- Yes but where's the meme? All I see is a smarmy quip, there's no joke, there's not even a picture. It's just a screenshot of text.
  Even if you agree with the subject matter, you have to admit this is terribly low effort and low quality as far as memes go.
Aw man but I have so many funny X-Men posts to make.

Aged like milk

What?
