I don’t read r/conservative much but what I’ve seen is they keep banning actual conservatives because they correctly call out what Trump is doing on things where it’s not about left and right but right and wrong.
Some people are saying that it could be coincidental. OP asks why would the two accounts who post so regularly just happen to both stop at the same time on that day.
Yet another reason to support Ukraine, maybe they’ll knock out Moscow’s power more often.
Virtually every major outlet for the right wing is, in some way shape or form, controlled by fascist foreign actors. Especially Russia.
All the dumb-fuck faux leftists supporting Russia over Ukraine, claiming Ukraine has a major Nazi problem, need to open their fucking eyes and see Russia is the biggest exporter of Nazism world wide.
the best part of all of it…is the reveal twitter had a couple weeks ago, where they put access location and registration location as publicly visible…for all of 5 minutes, revealing the fact that most big head conservative twitter accounts are foreign controlled psyop/propaganda outlets.
Crazy how the right wing just absolutely ignores that 98% of all the big totally patriotic american twitter accounts telling them what to do and how to feel come from russia, belarus, etc etc.
Interesting. Which accounts were these at the time of reveal?

heres some of them, I’m pretty sure there was more.
Russia is capitalist, fascist and an aggressor state, yet it’s loved by some communists. It makes no sense.
Because those aren’t actual communists, they’re tankies.
Tabkies don’t have any actual principles, let alone any beliefs whatsoever.
Their beliefs are solely anti-West and that is it. It doesn’t matter what contradictions or outright lies they must embrace. As long as the narrative is anti-West, they’re 100% on board.
One comment:
Allow me to weigh in here as a Russian.
Moscow lost power due to Ukrainian drone attacks
I am sorry, /u/Ok-Stand-2128, but this premise from the post looks wrong. Could you please share your sources on this? I could find no info about an outage in the city of Moscow on that night. There was only an outage in Moscow region: more specifically, in Zhukovsky, a city with a population of about 100,000 people. (An analogy would be an outage in Albany in the state of New York, while New York City had no outage.) I’ll share my sources in a reply because Reddit sometimes deletes links to Russian websites.
I can imagine no reason for this outage to influence any Russian bots. Zhukovsky is not an IT hub.
Also, the fifth image shows that the two users in question usually start posting at 2 a.m. Moscow time, the middle of the night, not a typical workday start.
The increasing tendency of US leftists to assume Russian influence behind the conservatives seems like a rehash/mirror of the Cold War anti-communist paranoia. The profiles themselves clearly behave bot-like:
It’s definitely Ask4MD, but I figured the other one was According-Activity87. If you go on conserv sub right now half the first page is both of them posting. Both have extremely easy MOs to follow. Ask4MD will post something and never engage with it. According-Activity will post something then post a GIF response almost instantly. It’s so tuned and they’re never called out about it.
GIF responses are indeed a frequent thing for reddit bots to use, from what I’ve seen.
The increase of tankies acting like russia doesn’t sow division via bot/troll farms in the west is really annoying.
For now what I’m usually seeing is people talking about Russian influence without hard proof or just plainly contradicted by reality, as in this case. I’ve seen speculation that Dessalines (Lemmy developer) is Russian due to his tankie takes, again easily contradicted by his digital footprint.
As for me being a tankie, I’m literally banned on Hexbear for being subscribed to some anti-tankie communities.
If you don’t believe that the Judeo-Bolshiviks are polluting our precious bodily fluids then you’re a tankie
Conservatives need brand new online communities that do not push them farther into the brain rot. Seriously are there any good online communities for them still around?
American conservativism is already inherently contradictory. Conservativism as a political movement emerged in Europe in response to the emergence of liberalism. Liberalism is anti-monarchy. Conservatism is pro-monarchy. US conservativism is anti-monarchy, pro-market, pro-private property - all of these positions are liberal positions. American conservativism is liberalism.
So to adopt the label of conservative in America you already have to be ignorant of political philosophy, history, and the meaning of words that you use on a daily basis, and you have to be living out a full contradiction of political views. Or you have to be in the grifter elite that does understand this and use it as a way to fleece people.
The people who stay in the American conversative are under such psychology strain from the cognitive dissonance that they absolutely have to have purity tests to keep any challenge to their narratives out of their zones.
You are aware that it is not the 19th century anymore? Political groups and ideologies change and are different through time and between countries.
Conservatives need brand new online communities that do not push them farther into the brain rot.
That’s an oxymoron as conservatism is already a brain rot
Yup because they’re anti education.
I feel like “conservatism” has lost all rationality. I do get that it’s totally possible that “not rocking the boat” could be a good solution to society’s progress for some niches but 99% of the time it’s absolutely irational.
In fact, most conservative issues like “traditional family unit”, “gun freedom” are better approached through progressive frame like incentives to celebrate local culture and protecting human rights like rights to self defence - these are fundamentally progressive thoughts that actually solve the issue in a real meaningful way rather than just hiding behind in-action.
I really try to understand conservatism as a thought movement but there seems to be no actual thought behind it. I genuinely don’t get it.
It looks contradictory but there is logic to it. They want hierarchies, just like there was before - where Christian white men are on top and everyone else has no rights. Those are the “traditional values” they want to uphold. If you filter everything through that lens, their actions start to make sense. Technically this isn’t called conservatism (since this isn’t about a monarchy), but that’s the label they gave it.
But that’s not conservatism per se, it’s just fascism
i would wager that these quickly get perverted
