    Just curious about rule 2 “Posts must be (American) right wing.” This post doesn’t seem to be about American right wing politics, nor the one about Canadian health care. Can I get some clarification on rule 2 in this context?

      Basically, I’m an American, and thats my bias. Pro-freedom, smaller government, less pre-crime laws, common sense in general.

      Right wing in other countries like Palestine or the UK is just about the opposite. Lots of oppression, lots of bigotry. Like I understand being fearful of the right if you live in Poland or India, but the American right wing is not like that. (Only place that comes close is Canada, but they’re just America lite)

      I hope that makes sense and I’m not making an ass of myself.

        Sooooo… It’s ok to post about things other than American right wing politics as long as the substance of those posts have an American right wing bias? Im not sure I’m picking up what you are putting down here.

        Anyway thanks for your perspective. I’m very glad to know that there’s no bigotry among American conservatives.

          Yeah kinda. I try to be self aware about my biases, and the biases in my work.

          If youve ever seen /r/conservative, similar thing, except without the flairs only threads.

          And for the record, I do realize that bigotry is everywhere. Assholes and idiots exist in every large group of humans.
