Helen Highwater posted:The hilarious thing about this (apart from all of it) is that Conservapedia proudly displays on its front page that it was featured on Colbert. Andy didn't get the joke. Also every time he laughs, my ears try to rip out my cerebral cortex to save themselves. http://www.conservapedia.com/Stephen_Colbert The whole talk page is worth reading http://www.conservapedia.com/Talk:Stephen_Colbert but this old bit stands out quote:This article presents everything Colbert has said on his show, The Colbert Report, as his actual views.

GWBBQ posted:I think those references have been removed. Even the article on Colbert doesn't mention Andy's appearance on the show. It's on the About page. quote:A conservative approach to education is powerful and helpful in many ways. It equips students and adults to overcome inevitable obstacles, such as addiction and depression, and it guides learners to lasting insights. There are few, if any, conservative schools, and Conservapedia freely provides this unique approach for the benefit you and those around you. Conservapedia was on the Colbert Report on December 8, 2009.

RoboChrist 9000 posted:It's also because a longing for an imagined time of past glory and a sense that the world of the modern era - whatever modern is - is somehow decrepit and degenerate is part and parcel of Conservatism. Conservatism, almost by definition, is about looking to an imagined past that never was with longing and nostalgia, rather than looking to the future with hope and ambition. Restoring lost glory, rather than forging a new one. Replace conservativism with fascism plz.

Pff, look at you idiots, everyone knows that Hitler took all the guns so no one could raise up against him, just like what OBAMA and FEMA are trying.  Also I still can't get over the National Socialist = Socialist = Liberal mindleap. I've seen it so many times by now, I just can't get used to it.

How do people get from socialism to liberalism anyway? They're just about polar opposites of each other. American politics really confuses me because you have social conservatives fighting social liberals and the social conservatives call the social liberals liberals despite both of them being extremely economically liberal but the social liberals being slightly less so. And this makes the liberals socialists. And there are libertarians off to the side who think the liberals are actually fascists because they support things like taxes.

A linear political spectrum would be less confusing if not for the apparent lack of consistency in what the two ends of it are supposed to be.

Its a lot simpler if you put it in the terms of how a Conservapedia or Freep user thinks: in extreme white/black or good/bad. Words like socialism and communism don't actually mean anything anymore to these people, it's just "bad". Oh yeah and "cultural Marxism" = "very bad", if you've ever seen that one.

Fathis Munk posted:So they are trying to tell us he was actually moderate right ? My supposedly very intelligent uncle who taught surgical medicine at a fancy school in New York insisted that because the NSDAP had the word "socialist" in their name, that they were a far-left group and in fact all leftism is associated with fascism and communism (i.e. Everyhing Bad) by default. Modern conservative/right-wing idiots absolutely like to pretend that all the terrible regimes of the 20th century were left-wing beyond a doubt.

One more detail not mentioned by the others - the reason you see "socialism" used as a pejorative by conservatives in the US is purely due to media. It's a codeword for "they want to raise your taxes and The US has a whole bunch of socialist policies, but that doesn't make the US socialist. Nazi Germany had a whole bunch of socialist policies, but that doesn't make Nazis socialists. The closest mainstream America comes to accepting socialism is the kind of stuff Bernie Sanders was campaigning for. The Overton Window has shifted so much to the right that Bernie's campaign was viewed by many as being extreme, while it's actually pretty boring moderate-left stuff in the rest of the western world.

Socialism as a slur is directly tied to "wealth redistribution" and widespread misuse of the term started only with opposition to Obama. Not even freepers, those currently most seeped in cold war propaganda, intermix communism and socialism, they're used as separate insults when talking about Obama and the left.

But seriously though, look at that spike back during the 2008 presidential race and how the interest graph is notably higher during the Obama administration than during the Bush administration. I'm not saying that it was never used as a pejorative before, only that the people you see throwing around "socialist" every other insult now often has an explicit media-driven context.
