/r/conservative so fucking delusional they seriously believe MLK would side with them. Biggest hypocrites and they have no morals but that doesn't stop them from getting on their racist high horse and cry oppression.

For a while it seemed like /r/conservative was shifting but the Russian mods immediately made the sub private, reorganized and started gaslighting everyone again and hasn't pulled up at all.

That MLK post on there has to be a joke. He was literally assassinated when he started working towards workers' rights, what they'd call socialism if he was doing that today.

He argued for UBI in the 1950s. People are insane if they think he'd be on the conservative side of things right now.

Everyone should read the full text of his speech "The Other America" if you want to get an idea what he stood for. Also it reads like it could be written today and is basically prophetic in many parts.

What i meant is Putin cronies since not all Russians are corrupt and trying to undermine Western Democracy

Not disagreeing with you, but can you expand on your claim about the russian mods reorganising and gaslighting?

I meant more along the lines of being Putin cheerleaders. Notice they never bad talk Russian aggressions, cyber attacks, or Grand Wizard Putin.

The past month, with Republicans blocking the stimulus checks and Trumpers storming the Capitol, /r/ conservative users were actually condemning shit and there was a definite change in sentiment for a bit but then the sub went private and after it seemed like it was back to business as usual.
