Conduct news - Conservatives of ModDB

As a man following the path there is a expectation to continually better yourself and as a member you also consent to rules. Don't engage in the following:

1. Arrogance - lack of virtue, consistency, effort, use of ad hominems, accusations, threats, indifference/disdain to members, posting simply to get a negative reaction etc people who simply are not interested in being a part of a movement, not contributing or associating with any conservative group. Anyone who hasn't should read the group description.

1.1. Concern trolling - Reddit.com

This is where there are is people pretending to be on your side and they act all concerned and really about your good well being but want to give advice where the message is right or get to that point but is found that they aren't really on our side. They will typically call for someone to soften the message and be 'subtle' by removing from the discussion rhetoric and the stance by being measured or less difficult. The point of the opposition is to get the other side compromising, that's where they hope we are compelled to sacrifice what we treasure by an effective bulwark that is providing protection from what is against the family and society.

1.2. Shitposting - Contentless posts or posting images that have little relevance to topics discussed just for the sake of a funny image. Its best to have images contribute with information to the various stances, arguments, theories, concepts, archetypes, virtues, ideals and world-views of the right-wing (names of which are listed in the group description). Anon posts are allowed but are expected to follow the rules, however anything remotely like spam will be removed.

1.3. Role-playing - Referring to things in the third-person that has no relevance to the real-world or entirely based on fiction, tv series, movies, games, hollywood, LARPing etc. This includes hobbyists and entryists who are not serious about challenging mainstream views but would rather simply engage in abstractions, purple prose, be a 'special snow-flake' and post conspiracy theories which are more suited to the government corruption group.

Question: What is Cultural Marxism? Cultural Marxism or Cultural Bolshevism seeks to destroy everything good about society, what holds it together, what helps it to advance, what promotes intelligence and beauty. It seeks to demoralize its population, start to question national and religious cohesion. It's based on the marxist lie that everything good about society is all a form of oppression. Everytime anyone promotes cultural Marxism, they use the same line claiming it is about freeing people from oppression. These common cultural Marxist themes all are promoted by the same lie that they are done in the name of freedom: mass immigration, affirmative action and feminism. Cultural Marxism is largely a syntheses of Marx and Freud. It is Marxism as applied in the cultural sphere and the analysis and control of the media, art, theatre, film and other cultural institutions in society, often with an emphasis on class, race and gender. AS a form of political analysis, Cultural Marxism gained strength in the 1920's and was the model used by a group of intellectuals in Germany known as the Frankfurt School; and later by another group of intellectuals at the Centre for Contemporary Cultural Studies in Birmingham, England. The Fields of Cultural Studies and Critical theory are rooted in and influence by work of Cultural Marxism. Cultural Marxism is formulated as a way to subvert European nations and civilization using methods other than direct political action. And has been to an extent successful in spreading its lies in leftist academia. From SmashCulturalMarxism. “Political correctness (Cultural Marxism) is used to stop people from speaking freely...It’s got absolutely nothing to do with communication and tolerance.” Another lie is: "postmodern/neo-Marxist claim that Western culture, in particular, is an oppressive structure, created by white men to dominate and exclude women." ~Jordan Peterson.

Cultural Marxism can be defined as: "The gradual process of destroying all traditions, languages, religions, individuality, government, family, law and order in order to re-assemble society in the future as a communist utopia. This utopia will have no notion of gender, traditions, morality, god or even family or the state."

1.4. Responsibility - A level of responsibility is required to not be baited by users looking for a emotional outlet as opposed to a discussion. If you allow yourself to submit to your lower nature, don't complain as provocation won't be a defense, remember you are complicit in your impressions.

1.5. Communism - The communists want to expand the government and purview of the state so that they can control more parts of the society and the means of production, stealing from the average person too so as to get redistribution policies in place (violating the non-aggression principle and their consent), and secondly to gain even more money and finances directly from the state. Both are contrary to the conservative stance i.e. they are unable to be conservative according to us. Marxists also try to deconstruct the way of life of the west, it was a critique of the west. Marxists believe we are infinitely maleable and can be changed to suit their whims that they may have. Whereas we believe that humanity is fixed, has universal morality and culturally unchanging, natural law gives some points for us to follow as to what that maybe & how to structure society.

We're here to be of benefit to our people, find a common ground hopefully, not be consumed by consumerism, reluctance to defend family, nation and society, traditional gender roles in the family, parenthood and religion, be a defense for our rights as fellow citizens. Some of the powers that be aren't going to stop attacking our rights so we should not give up on protecting our way of life and the rights that help give us the freedom we need to live that particular way.

The secret to effective meditation:

1. Sit in a comfortable chair, don't try to do it on the floor or anywhere else.
2. Know what your purpose is. And know what you want to have. i.e. Answer this question: what do you want?
3. Feel as if your dreams are coming true with every meditation. Also let the thoughts come and go. Zazen meditation is the meditation that helps most with dealing with disruptive thoughts.
