The people behind the current events aren’t conservative. They don’t try to conserve. They try to destroy, uproot, and drag us back. They are reactionaries, everything-was-better-in-the-50s daydreamers, and neoliberal oligarchs. They do not care about conserving moral values, otherwise they wouldn’t have voted a criminal into office. Conservative is a word they are hiding behind, like a marketing slogan. Like how fascists figured out that calling themselves patriots makes them acceptable.
I do not think that conservative = bad. In fact, I myself believe that with many issues, it might be better to wait for the dust to settle a bit, and to not jump on every hype train. I would even go as far as saying I am a patriot, if that word wasn’t dragged through the mud by mouth-breathing, racist neo-fascists.
Those people do not deserve to be called conservative. Call them reactionaries or oligarchs. Because that is what they are.
Is it surprising to you that people can spend their free time independent of their political paradigm?
No, it’s bothersome how certain hobbies are more likely to attract bad people
I understand the distaste toward conservatism with current events. If you think that conservative = bad, then you have a very narrow frame of mind.
