So, I’m more conservative leaning (European wise) but everywhere I go - the communities are usually filled with so much hate. That I just avoid it.

Is there any place that I can go where there’s not so much based on hate but more on actual discussions and such?

Though, I have been told that - European wise, it is considered more leaning to left in eyes of US. So bit confused.

Note; please keep it civil.

EDIT: Thanks for the responses (even the hateful ones lol), I got the grasp of what I asked. I’ll look into the suggestions that were made.

EDIT 2: I LOVE how some of you are saying that conservatives are so hateful and yet here you are. Doing the exact same thing. Quite cute and ironic lol! That said if it makes you feel better to spew hate on Lemmy go ahead.

I always thought that the “left side” were open minded and friendly but seems I was wrong, at least here on Lemmy. I suppose, Lemmy become Reddit 2.0. In that way.

    I appreciate the candid responses, and I don’t have a solution for you, but the question is an interesting one. Most of the ‘conservative’ people I know who are not interested in the typical hate-filled conservative politics seem to be invested in family and religious pursuits - home-schooling, church volunteering, support groups sometimes - things like that.

    If those are of interest, there are likely to be communities that talk about them (or you could start one). However, when it comes to conservative politics, the actual money and laws that those same people support with their votes and donations - that’s pretty hateful stuff, and most of it boils down to some kind of sexism, racism, classism, or something like that.

    You might try looking for more academic areas where a particular teaching, theory, or philosophy is being discussed. But daily news items about conservative politics are going to be full of high emotion because a lot of wrongs are being done every day to people and things that deserve better.

    Good luck!
