Conservative because truth doesn’t change. Fighting for common sense, one post at a time.

The greatest tool against lies isn’t censorship. It’s truth, spoken with courage.

In most cases of suicide
a person doesn't want to die.
They just want the pain to stop.

You are not alone going through this, please talk to someone. 🫂

Yeah, this is…not true.

And yet conservative accounts are banned daily, while his account is still active.

I’m called racist or some other slur just about every day. But blatantly racist comments like this are everywhere on this app and no one seems bothered.

You see how your argument has moved from facts to feelings? You have no way to argue against data, so you try to win by making yourself seem morally superior.

You can be upset about how I said it, but facts remain.

Have a lovely evening 😊

Facts still matter more than feelings 😊

Migrants had a 2.1x higher crime rate vs. natives according to this study.

We all understand not every migrant is a criminal. It’s called a meme.

Calling out real disparities isn’t racist.

Your sources dodge raw gaps.

Gulf of America @elchamb.bsky.social · 7h

I used rates, not raw counts: Brå 2021 shows immigrants are 2.1x more likely to commit crime (2.5x raw) vs. natives, adjusted for age/income

And it’s of course not speculation. www.researchgate.net/publication/...

True, War on Drugs showed racial bias. Blacks are 3.7x more arrested for marijuana despite equal use. Europe has similar issues (like immigrants being over-policed in Germany). But raw data still shows overrepresentation in violent crimes.

Yes, I read it. Most immigrants aren’t criminals, but raw data shows disproportionate impact. Victims being newcomers doesn’t negate overrepresentation.

Your claim ignores raw stats. Immigrants are overrepresented in violent crime in Europe (for example: 2.5x in Sweden per BRA).

DW, Guardian, Le Monde cherry-pick adjusted data to downplay real concerns. Check unfiltered reports for truth.

Sure - here’s one.

If you’re interested, you should look into Tommy Robinson when you have time. He’s based out of the UK and has spent years exposing some of the many issues they’re facing.

Facts aren’t bigoted. They’re just inconvenient for people who build their arguments on feelings instead of data.

Hamas has killed nearly 50 Palestinians in Gaza in last 48 hrs, targeting “collaborators” post-ceasefire.

Mehdi Hasan, Ana Kasparian, and Cenk Uygur.

The UN has been radio silent.

And media has barely even covered it.

Where’s the outrage?

As a former Californian, I can confirm this is 100% true. And it’s more common than you might think.

Gulf of America @elchamb.bsky.social · 23h

Yep, sure did! You should look up:

-18 U.S.C. § 1505
-18 U.S.C. § 1071
-8 U.S.C. § 1324
-18 U.S.C. § 371

Reminder to all my conservative friends:

Bluesky is a bubble, and it doesn’t reflect reality.

Have you noticed that one of the most significant peace deals of our lifetime isn’t even being talked about on here?

They shout loud, but most of America disagrees. Keep proclaiming the truth, Patriots💪🏼
