I feel like the joke doesn't really work, they are conservatives, drowning during baptism or something like that would've been more to the point

"all who take the sword will perish by the sword" is pretty spot on

[โ€“] 0x0@lemmy.dbzer0.com 8 points 1 month ago

Yeah, like an anti-seatbelt activist dying in a car crash.

Or a anti-Obamacare person dying of a common infection.

You do realize there is a difference between the way the left and the right approaches gun ownership and pandemic responses, right?

Dying from abortion complications...

[โ€“] causepix@lemmy.ml 3 points 1 month ago (1 children)

More like a minor dying from childbirth complications. But regardless, none of this works because they would never invite a woman to found a conservative media organization unless its explicit intent was to reach conservative women.

Found, not run. We're talking about founders.

[โ€“] ExLisper@lemmy.curiana.net 1 points 4 weeks ago (1 children)

Yeah, that's a very specific requirement. They (conservatives) invited Bari Weiss to run CBS. I think this shows they don't mind women being in charge of media organizations as long as they are loyal.

that's a very specific requirement

Not really when the topic at hand is Charlie Kirk and the guy that gave him a bunch of money to skip college and start TPUSA.

Aside from that, Bari Weiss does not own CBS. She was given her position by someone who can just as easily take it away, because whoever actually owns CBS decided it was convenient to their interests. Yeah she has a lot more power and agency than the rest of us, but she is still a subordinate. The spoils of her work belong to someone else at the end of the day.

People that receive money from someone to fund an organization are also subordinates. I though you were saying that conservatives would not appoint a women to a position of power and Weiss is a example disproving that. Of course if you narrow it down to a very specific case of someone founding an organization it will be more difficult to find someone because there are simply not that many organizations being founded all the time. Women are totally being sponsored and promoted by right wing king pins (Candice Owens, Megan Kelly).
