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 also do believe more in the traditional family kind of thing (husband working, wife taking care of the household and both of them taking care of the children).

    What if the family has two dads? Or two moms?

      I honestly would not care since it is not my life. They’re happy? Good, let them be. None of my business.

      It is true that my religion says it is wrong, however it is my religion. I believe in it, they don’t. So, who am I to bother them?

        I would call that Socially liberal. Maybe, as others have already said, you should re-evaluate your political standing. You might not be as conservative as you think.

          That’s an American-centric position. In Europe, there are right-wing parties that don’t oppose gay rights.

            No, you’re right… some don’t openly oppose gay rights. Yet. They’re merely xenophobic racists.

            Linguist Ruth Wodak has stated that the populist parties rising across Europe do so for different reasons in different countries. In an article published in March 2014, she divided these political parties into four groups: “parties [which] gain support via an ambivalent relationship with fascist and Nazi pasts” (in, e.g., Austria, Hungary, Italy, Romania, and France), parties which “focus primarily on a perceived threat from Islam” (in, e.g., the Netherlands, Denmark, Poland, Sweden, and Switzerland), parties which “restrict their propaganda to a perceived threat to their national identities from ethnic minorities” (in, e.g., Hungary, Greece, Italy, and the United Kingdom), and parties which “endorse a fundamentalist Christian conservative-reactionary agenda” (in, e.g., Poland, Romania, and Bulgaria).[8] According to The Economist, the main attraction of far-right parties in the Scandinavian countries is the perception that their national culture is under threat.

        You sound like a social liberal, economic conservative.

        To be clear - being socially liberal doesn’t mean that you want to be LGBTQ. It doesn’t mean that you want to be atheist. It just means that you believe other people should be allowed to be that. So you can still be Muslim and have a traditional family and still be considered socially liberal.

        As for your question, that’s quite tough. American Democrats are, politically speaking, probably the closest group of people I can think of. But somehow, people think that Democrats are socialist, so your mileage may vary

        Well, you’re not like any conservative I’ve ever spoken with. At least not in the America sense of the word- maybe it’s different in a European context.

        I tend to drop basically every political topic with anyone that actually identifies themselves that way. In my experience that is not going to lead to any kind of pleasant conversation or debate so I just don’t engage.

        “Non-hateful conservative” basically reads like an oxymoron to me.

        Do you believe that family should have all the same rights, protections and support your “traditional” family has?

          Yes, I do. I mean, just because they have different values and such than me - doesn’t mean they’re bad. We are all humans, we all deserve the same rights, protection and support.

          Kind of surprised with the questions though, while I’m just looking for an community.

            You’re already aware the sites have a liberal slant. What you might not be aware of is the plethora of “conservatives that don’t hate” that turn out to be fucking awful bigots that come to these places and try to stir shit up. The questions are to weed out whether you’re genuine or one of the awful bigots.

            That being said, you seem genuine enough to me. However you seem like you might still be somewhat impressionable and I’d caution you in looking for a “more conservative community”. Those tend to be hotbeds for recruitment and indoctrination.

            I’d ask, what do you think you’ll get from a more conservative community that the more easily found liberal communities cannot offer?

              Apologies for the late reply, was a sleep.

              I was kind of hoping to find same-minded people, however seems I’m out of luck. I wasn’t expecting anything special though. And that explains it, questions.

              Like I mentioned on someone’s else’s comment, when doing official country tests - it gives me “centrum right” and thus wanted to know how a non-hateful environment of the right was.

              I’m NOT* here to stir stuff up, the question was genuine and it seems I got the grasp of it.

              I quite much feel that, I don’t fit in neither left nor right. I’ll look into something what another commenter, commented about. Social Liberal.

              Edit: correction, including “not”.

            As others already did I also would challenge your (purely) conservative tag. One of the most prominent “features” of current conservatives is to remove support and even legal standing of non-traditional families.

              Yeah, I don’t agree with that. Everyone deserves support, protection and a happy life.

              Just because I don’t have the same values/mindset as them, doesn’t mean they don’t deserve support. They do deserve it.

              I commented somewhere else in this thread. It seems that I don’t fit in either left nor right wing. But whenever doing the official test of my country, I keep getting “centrum right”.
