If you have any questions for me, about anything, post them here!

2020-06-11 00:36:24 UTC  

Was there any moment or anything in particular that led you to become a conservative?

2020-06-11 00:40:35 UTC  

@Tyler Zed There hasn’t really been a platform to put the meme’s, from the reddit page, is this going to be used here for that?

2020-06-11 00:48:53 UTC  

My daughter lives in Des Moines. It seems like half the people I meet there is from Minneapolis. They call it Des Apolis or something. Is that something you see?

@1 Greenhorn Yes we want to share memes here! We've got the <#707963490526298112> channel set up and have talked about creating multiple channels for memes (non-political, dark humor, etc) but we'll see how the one channel goes first

@Downskated Great question. I'd say the thing that had the greatest influence on my political compass was my time in the military. Specifically seeing how a big bureaucracy works and how inefficient things can be with so much red tape. Smaller government is the only answer!

@Steve714 I do know a few people from here that live in Des Moines who are from Minneapolis. I have never heard it called that though!

@Tyler Zed I hate to tell you that they can get way worse, a naval procurement officer created a flowchart to show what goes into acquiring a aircraft carrier it looks like a spider's web.
It gets even worse when you consider the military will do stuff not even remotely in its own best interest.

2020-06-11 02:10:12 UTC  

This one is particularly fascinating, especially if you're into the AR-15 family at all

2020-06-11 02:11:43 UTC  

The whole movie is worth a watch

Wrong place for this stuff

2020-06-11 02:39:02 UTC  

It's in response to what Tyler said about his time in the military and I was giving examples of government bureaucracy to further illustrate his answer

@[TDE] Smokie who are you??

2020-06-11 02:53:05 UTC  

👀

2020-06-11 02:53:12 UTC  

Just a bear in the woods

@RoyandTracieRusch Smokie is one of the mods on the channel and helped set this whole thing up. I think he meant wrong thread/channel for the examples, not necessarily that it was wrong to post.

2020-06-11 03:11:56 UTC  

Correct

2020-06-11 03:38:23 UTC  

How do you feel with broadcasting companies removing shows like Cops, LivePD, and even talks about removing paw patrol?
And second question, how do you feel about US soccer players now being allowed to kneel during the national anthem?

2020-06-11 03:39:58 UTC  

Q1 I think it's just stupid shit

Q2 they shouldn't be playing of they're not proud of the country

2020-06-11 11:32:38 UTC  

it might make a good 51st state.. hehe

2020-06-11 12:33:37 UTC  

Hey Tyler any chance with you opening a subscribestar, some of us actively avoid patreon

2020-06-11 14:37:42 UTC  

We are setting up the donate bot for that

@Tyler Zed

**Question:**
Have you watched any of **John Doyle**’s videos? He seems to be a fellow no nonsense conservative who has the backbone not to just call out the left, but also Republicans who don’t stand for true conservatism

2020-06-11 19:43:30 UTC  

Yes, he's actually my favorite political channel on YouTube at the moment

2020-06-11 20:16:26 UTC  

He's alright. Rants a bit too much for my taste

2020-06-11 20:21:01 UTC  

I enjoy rants to an extent. Primarily because I rant frequently.

2020-06-11 20:45:47 UTC  

I think he often makes pretty polished videos, only the recent 42min was a true “rant”. Usually it’s a structured 8-12 min of news/commentary

2020-06-11 21:09:23 UTC  

What do you think of John Stossel?

2020-06-11 23:03:35 UTC  

Has anyone heard about this news that possibly BLM is a financial pyramid scheme? Candace Owens tweeting about it...

2020-06-11 23:04:25 UTC  

theres widespread claims and accusations that antifa and other protest groups recieve funding, and a pyramid scheme would be the best way to ensure you get a strong following.

2020-06-11 23:04:45 UTC  

its plausible, but im not the kind of person to believe something without some hard evidence to back it up

2020-06-11 23:04:51 UTC  

Me too

2020-06-11 23:05:07 UTC  

you'd think were it the case it wouldnt be that difficult to try to join up for the sake of uncovering it

2020-06-11 23:05:17 UTC  

There’s some suggestion that it is operating as a charity but isn’t registered with the IRS

2020-06-11 23:05:26 UTC  

not sure how long they might expect you to be involved before you get accepted into the paid ranks tho :/
