As for my personal political stance, it isn't left or right, nor is it really democratic. I'm a full blown communist for conservatism. Democracy is only good while I don't have my way in office. People who don't think they are communists aren't paying attention to themselves. Everyone wants their vote to matter.
Conservatism? As in preserving old values?
Old values are often timeless and functional, while there are no real new social ideas, they're either implemented or not.
Hmmmhhh. I'd say I default to being a "conservative" but I'm willing to entertain new ideas. I'm curious about everything, but ultimately I need clear reasons to accept anything new and otherwise I default to my principal values.
I find conservative minds typically are able to foresee the results of ideas better than their political opponent can. I don't see any reason for society to not implement new things as long as it isn't dysfunctional.
Take the displaced refugee crisis. Liberals were waving signs, fighting for them to enter their country, meanwhile those refugees hate the west, created no go zones, rape and other crime rates went up, the refugees call for Sharia law in numbers.
If I were to contrast that with what you call conservatism, my impression of you is that you're more tilted towards rejecting and demonizing what is new before attempting to understand it.
Whatever I demonize, I'm sure I have valid reasoning behind it.
For example I don't think we should confuse the genders and teach children in kindergarten how they probably aren't boys and girls.
Transgenderism is a mental disorder, and if you're a man expecting people to make-believe you qualify as a woman you'll be in for a ride in the real world.
BLM isn't a new idea. It's simply dumb people who claim to be anti-racist, but are very racist.
Whites hating whites is somewhat treasonous, coloured people hating whites, is racism, but it triggers them if you call it that.
Safe space culture is filled with self entitled people expecting society and others to bend for their desires. They also plant flags and lay claim on territories that don't belong to them, and decide whose welcome there.
Modern day radical liberals accuse others of being Nazis, though there aren't any, while they themselves are like the Nazi more than anyone. And etc.
My acceptance of ideas are simply a matter if they are functional or not.
My impression is furthermore that you haven't spent a great deal of time to try to genuinely understand those ideas that you dislike.
I recognize them very well tbh. I'm often satirical about homosexuality, because it's often made to be of upmost importance, while celebrating being straight is offensive and will lead to war.
Homosexuality continues to be imposed on children. Some say it isn't while they teach children the odds of most of them being straight is less likely considering there are 50+ additional unheard of genders now, said some professor who happens to be fruity and probably crossdresses at night, if not you're discriminatory.
I think, if you did, it would be easier for you to bridge the gap to discuss with people like Turncoat.
TC doesn't seek intellectual conversation. Every line, every sentence, every paragraph doesn't get through to him.
It's been over 10 years okay. I'm not the only one who sees TC the way I do, and we certainly learn a little about a person after prolonged communications.
For example. You see how we have productive conversations, and we'll either agree or disagree. With TC the conversation turns into having to clarify and detail an increasing about of information, then it turns into how the conversation went, and now it's a principal contest. I told him it's required to be at a certain level on intelligence to talk to me, or else I'll have to water down and dilute my speech, then when you look back at the conversation, it's TC asking fragmented questions and accusations.
It seems like I can't have productive conversations with TC unless we're talking about fictional entertainment, because I don't think it's a good use of my time. I don't think your conversations go too well with him either.
I think we both agree we don't want a women-only world, at least. I also agree that some of the recent left-wing ideas are rather bizarre.
Evil I'd say.
Women don't want a world without Men. From the sewars to the skyscrapers, we did that. There were no feminist on the Titanic.
Need your car tire fixed ? We got you. "Hey look everybody a woman did her own automechanics !" Oh that's nice *world remains the same*
You're a bad bitch and think Men should serve you ? No problem darling, we've been doing it all along, it's just we can't do it for free, but at least sometimes we do it for free anyway. The plumning is working, the electricity is on, farmers farming, that tomb underground is called a manhole and you won't ever have to go down there, we'll take out the trash don't worry, the work you don't want to do is being done.
When people call law enforcement, they want service from masculine men, and even moreso the greater the threat or worse the situation. They want G.I. Joe to show up and manhandle it, so peace is restored.
