"i guess im also considered radical bc i think conservatism has never offered a single idea of value and is in fact an evil movement that seeks to stamp out the very concept of human happiness, but thats just bc i listen when conservatives say all this pretty much explicitly"

As near as I can tell, the entire US political project is a failed rehab center for conservatives.

They never change, they never get better, but we're not allowed to just get rid of them either because they're "special little guys with their whole lives ahead of them" or some shit.

Brett the rapist football player who lives and breathes saying the N word and thinks vaccines are fake deserves his chance to be mayor, governor, president, over and over again, no matter what.

Since 1980 if not Nixon, both parties have worked to launder this collection of Klansmen, Neo-Confederates, Neo-Nazis, theocrats, and other freaks into the mainstream of US politics because gosh darn it, they're white men.

The conservatives are the slaver class or rubes for them

Every time we try to redistribute the stolen wealth of the slaver class we fail. I think the best we can do is end slavery in a ratcheting, piecewise way. They're left with their money, but they can't steal more as quickly as they could

From a completely unqualified anthropological standpoint, the strength of humanity seems to lie in our ability to adapt. Conservatism seems to be the born out of some misguided impulse to resist that ability.

@TheGreatLlama It would be one thing if they were merely an inertial force resisting progress in the belief that old, established ways are stable and superior. They would still be wrong. But they wouldn't be outright evil.

Instead, yeah, they seem to have chugged the Anti-Life Equation and are hell bent on destroying us all out of religious mania, greed, or whatever reason.

I sometimes think that the core of it comes down to miserable people who just can't stand to see anyone else enjoying life. They can't be happy and they'll burn the whole world to avoid anyone else getting one over on them.
