I dunno but for some reason they're on this platform too (dunno why all things considered). Go ask them.

It's either a belief things can only get worse or hate in their heart.

Like, if you get dunked on everywhere on the internet you go maybe take the hint your beliefs are generally frowned upon and may not be correct.

i'm 24 and a proud conservative: i want to replace all highways with railways and interurban tramways, return to having small dense cities surrounded by lively rurality, dissolve large corporations and replace them with small local businesses, and bring back that thing where we went "hey the slightly insane guy who never works is living in a shack that barely qualifies as shelter, let's build him a new cottage so he has a proper place to live, because everyone has a fundamental right to housing no matter what."

Lmao my mans rode the political merry-go-round and came out the opposite side full on Marxist. Welcome to the club brother, we got dope ass flags and mad pamphlets.

and bring back that thing where we went “hey the slightly insane guy who never works is living in a shack that barely qualifies as shelter, let’s build him a new cottage so he has a proper place to live, because everyone has a fundamental right to housing no matter what.”

This never existed. Not since capitalism at least.

Conservative literally means to conserve. To not change the way things are.

You wanting change means you are progressive.

Your motivation in thinking these changes are the right ones is not conservative, I imagine. You probably think about the future, how things could be better, not based on some traditional values or because you remember how things were vaguely "better" in the past.

Sorry to break it to you, you are progressive.

That's liberal. Far left liberal in fact.

I don't understand how those world views can identify and (you didn't say this, so hopefully not) vote conservative in US these days

[–] [email protected] 48 points 9 months ago (1 children)

He's making light of how twisted the US understanding of the word "conservative" has become.

If conservatives actually governed the way they should they’d be easier to vote for. Small government, cutting spending, actually legislating to support rural Americans with things like good education and affordable health care…etc.

But they’re pretty much the opposite of all that.

That's the point. The Republican party isn't conservative at all, but radical. They've abandoned most conservative political positions, including orthodox fiscal management, and exchanged conservative values for a constructed collection of 'traditional values', which are derived less from tradition than from the endless grievances that have replaced policy as their political program
