  • I’m the one saying Libertarianism has been sold to Americans under the brand of Conservatism.

    … and it’s important to point out (particularly to young people) that these two philosophies don’t mesh.

    You’re free to say “No! All you conservative voters are actually fascists and you’re evil and stupid and need to stay away from everyone!” - and continue to see whether that shaming moralism of young men starts winning them over. You’re free to persist with declaring everything right wing fascist.

    After the last election some might suggest it’s not winning any votes.


  • I didn’t say anything about fascism, that’s a whole different topic entirely. So weird that’s you’ve brought a third term in whilst claiming I was playing on the no true scottsman fallacy (which I don’t believe is the case).

    Conservativism is about the family unit, the church/traditional culture, and serving your community and nation. Conserving tradition in the name and style of your ancestors (so Confusionism is fairly conservative for instance, as it focuses on ancestors worship and supporting your parents).

    Libertarianism is about reducing government, avoiding taxes, and maximizing individual “freedoms”.

    They’re simply two different ideologies. Has nothing to do with a not true scottsman fallacy. Has to do with the fact they’re obviously not overlapping sets of values, and in fact oppose each other greatly and often.

    However American have been tricked into thinking they’re compatible.

    Your comments and those supporting it are proof of this. You’ve been had by billionaire think tanks and mega churches. Brainwashed into seeing them as the same ideology when they’re actually in opposition.

    Foolish American. Brainwashed people are bound to vote against their own interests. Lambs to the slaughter.

    Because they have a bunch of dumb opinions no one tried to address - feminists are trying to destroy video games. Women won’t date short men. Liberals are stealing girls breasts and making them trans too easily. Or giving them tattoos and making them fat. One or two chads every generation are getting all the sex, leaving them as lonely incels. Dating apps don’t work anymore. They feel insecure about masculinity.

    They blame women for all this, so they’re not going to vote for one. Especially if no one’s listening or appealing to them except the orange raisin and his American exceptionalism and edgy humor.

    Get someone who appeals to them if you want thier vote, don’t just sit around calling them fascist idiots, and laughing at them for being incels or Jordan Peterson fans. They need fathers and role models who actually give them structure, meaning, purpose, closure.

    …someone who appeals to them. Someone who joins their story, and makes it feel coherent with their America.







  • That makes sense, one for each of them, and two to span their differences whilst keeping the most extreme differences furthest apart (so 5 all up). Typical lefties, reproducing the parliamentary liberalism that society is currently based on.

    I suspect if you put three conservatives in a room you’d either get one dead, one too scared to talk, and one covered in blood… Or, three far right loonies calling for the death of all gay people, who all just had their first gay experience and plan to keep that fact secret.

    Conservatives, they’ll either kill something or fuck it, and either way they’re gonna lie about it later.
