  • Does the fact that we think even “regular” conservatives have shitty beliefs make you feel better?

    I could already imagine what you think of their ideology. The problem I have is with labeling a general political orientation as illegitimate.

    Do conservatives want to fund public services?

    They probably don’t want to increase their funds. But yeah, public services exist for a reason. How many funds they should get it a debate to be had.

    Do they want to reduce police funding?

    Probably not (?), though would you mind explaining what the whole police defunding demands are about? Is it just currently viewed as a waste of money or what?

    Do they want to reduce inequity and tax the rich?

    They probably dont want to tax the rich more than they currently do, but yeah they would AFAIK still tax them (and tax them more than normal people). Inequality is a moral-based question again. You may find it fair if everyone has the same amount of money, someone else might find it fair that you get more money the more you earn, etc.



  • “I never said it was but it totally was!” So no to that as well.

    To make sure you can’t interpret this the wrong way:

    • I did not claim that having the right to drop a baby was comparable to having the right to abort
    • However, it is completely irrelevant how comparable they are because this nontheless clearly shows that your absolute claim of “total choice” is false.

    To sum it up for you:

    • The dropping example refutes your claim about total control
    • You said it isn’t comparable
    • I agreed and pointed out that I never claimed it to be. However, it still refutes your fucking claim. The whole point was for it to be non-controversial (I hope we agree dropping a baby is not your right) so we can both agree that you do not have total control, which you had previously implied.
