r/tuesday This lady's not for turning 19d ago

Semi-Weekly Discussion Thread - December 16, 2024

INTRODUCTION

/r/tuesday is a political discussion sub for the right side of the political spectrum - from the center to the traditional/standard right (but not alt-right!) However, we're going for a big tent approach and welcome anyone with nuanced and non-standard views. We encourage dissents and discourse as long as it is accompanied with facts and evidence and is done in good faith and in a polite and respectful manner.

PURPOSE OF THE DISCUSSION THREAD

Like in r/neoliberal and r/neoconnwo, you can talk about anything you want in the Discussion Thread. So, socialize with other people, talk about politics and conservatism, tell us about your day, shitpost or literally anything under the sun. In the DT, rules such as "stay on topic" and "no Shitposting/Memes/Politician-focused comments" don't apply.

It is my hope that we can foster a sense of community through the Discussion Thread.

IMAGE FLAIRS

r/Tuesday will reward image flairs to people who write an effort post or an OC text post on certain subjects. It could be about philosophy, politics, economics, etc... Available image flairs can be seen here. If you have any special requests for specific flairs, please message the mods!

The list of previous effort posts can be found here

One thing I find interesting about this sub's post.

Normal Right-winged piece: barely any comments.

Anything involving Healthcare: Everyone's got an opinion.

The livelier discussion on the other post would indicate to me that maybe healthcare reform (not in the Single-payer sense, just making it objectively better) is something we should prioritize. It seems to be the only thing any one of us can agree on, albeit for different reasons.

Part of it I think is that, like you said, pretty much everyone agrees there are big issues with healthcare but the options to change it are vast and varied compared to stuff like "yes we should fund our allies" or "no don't give billions of dollars to our enemies." Just leads to the topic naturally having a lot to discuss.

LVs also swarm those posts, they see it and they're like "fuck these RW dudes, they're wrong" and basically it descends into a slapfight
