  • The con in conservatism is that it convinced billions of people all around the world, it stands for “respectful conversation of traditionalism”, rather than “conversation of power”.

    Besides of the abandonment of the working class, white cishet men were steadily losing their power in society. They no longer can crack jokes at the expense of minorities. They’re no longer guaranteed to get a loving wife that won’t abandon them even if they’re abusive as hell. So the social contract that only existed in their head was broken, and want to undo it all, ASAP, no matter the cost. It’s just conservatives tried to not care about women gaining rights, especially up until women didn’t live with them. Same with the rights of other marginalized folks.
















  • With the levels of anti-intellectualism, it’s also quite hard.

    You write more that 3 lines? You used a “buzzword”? Congratulations, your refutation won’t be read, but will met with ridicule!

    My mother’s boyfriend often “reads” articles from more liberal-leaning news sources, and he just laughs at the buzzwords. Cannot tell what the articles were about.




  • To some of the comments:

    When a black person does a bad thing, we never question their blackness. If an LGBTQ+ person does a bad thing, we never question their LGBTQ±ness. If a Muslim does a bad thing, we never question their Muslimness.

    If a Christian does a bad thing, they’re not a Christian. If they’re rich, we bring up the parts of the Bible about how the rich won’t get to heavens. If they’re hateful, we bring up Christ’s love. If they’re violent, we bring up the “other cheeck” line.

    We need to stop whitewashing Christianity, and realize the evil its capable of in the wrong hands. That’s how we got the dominionist cult into the most powerful country, and that’s how we got Putin, Orbán, etc., and will continue to get others if we dont change our outlook on things.
