That bf would get clocked if they intimidated my siblings like that and spewed that nonsense in my house.

dads a moron-n. derog. subj.
This is how extremism works. If they get rid of knowledge they then control the knowledge and how it’s interpreted. Especially how people are educated.
Imagine being so scared of pronouns that you tear up a little kid's English homework. Like, can you really be that dense? What's next, Adjectives?!
Modern conservatism is mental illness - it's not a case of being dense - it's a case of being genuinely disabled.
Ironic for a political ideology grounded in and returning to eugenics.

Anti-intellectualism is a cancer growing in today's societies
That's also your brain on being a stupid little dipshit who didn't pay attention during elementary school grammar.
Well I know what my mom would do. She'd kick that bf in the nuts for getting mad at her kid like that, lol.
I am not being hyperbolic.
Yeah, my mom would dropped that like it was hot. I was home schooled because we moved so much (poor, not military). When we got to the science module of the school books when I was ± 8 years old, she realized just how much fundamentalist bullshit was in them. She has spent basically everything on those books, and we never used them again. Went to the local library and got all the science books she could, and taught actual science to me. The books they had sent literally had drawings on humans wearing leopard skins foraging for berries while a dinosaur drank water in the background.
Lol what :-D I'd love to see that picture!! Hope you're doing okay and what a lovely mother!
Oh you don't need a picture from a book. There's a whole museum dedicated to that bullshit now.

Kick him in the nuts before also kicking him to the curb for being unbelievably dumb?
A broadly educated population is incompatible with, and toxic to, conservative ideologies.
Conservatism is about favoring tradition and supporting the status quo. Going this wild about a common grammatical construct because it reminds you of people you hate for existing isn't conservative, it's something far worse.
Conservatism is about favoring tradition and supporting the status quo.
No, that's a lie conservatives tell to make their ideology seem less abhorrent.
What conservatism is actually about is perpetuating hierarchy.
That would be the tradition they favor.
One could argue that so called "traditions" they are holding so much dearly in their heart never was fully a thing and is just the product of past idealizations and marketing propaganda. "The perfect suburban american trad family" from the 60s is a construct made by marketing people to sell fridges, diamond and beautiful car.

Had one working parent and stay at home moms. But they don't give a single fuck about that part of it, do they?

Idealizing a fake era of greatness which came before the weak, but also very powerful bad people took it away.
Now where have I heard that one before? 🤔

In liberal democracy, the status quo is liberalism. Conservatism was to conserve the monarchy and aristocracy.
There is a difference between historical conservatism and what it has become. Even setting that aside, there is much daylight between what a movement will profess and what it will ultimately produce.
No, there really isn't. True conservatism is an unbroken line from royalists, to confederates, to nazis, to Trump.
It's the allegedly small government, pro-freedom "conservatives" -- i.e. self-deluded liberals who mislabeled themselves -- who were the aberration.
What's the most confrontational way to respond to someone who agrees with you?
I think you dropped your writing prompt
Conservatism is about favoring tradition and supporting the status quo.
That's just what Conservatism claims to be about, but it has always been regressive
I think we agree that most self-identified conservatives aren't actually very invested in the status quo or tradition, and are actually regressive reactionaries, but I think it's a clearer point to say that most self-identified conservatives aren't in fact conservative, than that conservatism isn't actually what people (claim they) mean when they say conservative. At that point, conservatism loses its meaning.
At that point, conservatism loses its meaning.
Conservatism hasn't lost its meaning, conservatism just never meant what conservatives claimed it meant; it's always been a façade.
Conservatism is about conserving (and reinforcing) power structures; all talk about 'tradition' and 'stability'/'status-quo' is wool over your eyes.

I would suggest it's the conservative ideologies that are toxic, education is the antidote.
I’d posit both statements are true and fundamentally complimentary.
Well, toxins are ~~inorganic~~ not really alive, so they’re not really killed by antidotes
Now if the analogy were infections an antibiotics….
(Edit corrected a word. Apparently, toxins are produced by organisms, got confused for a second there.)
