My current philosophy is very slowly morphing into: “I don't want to abolish conservstism. I simply want to reduce it to the size where I can drag it into the bathroom and drown it in the bathtub.”

I firmly believe Tom Nichols is, in fact, the sharpest, most principled, and most intellectually rigorous thinker American Conservstism has to offer.

And he blocked me: probably for saying exactly that in a post that did not tag him, repost him, or use his full name.

I stand by the assessment.

Blindly trust politicians and the federal government.
Sin,
Small Government Conservstism

He’s the epitome of Conservstism. He’s done nothing but go down the checklist fulfilling every item on the conservative wishlist and as predicted, they’re all atrocities.

Put a spotlight on the supporters not Trump; highlight how hateful and ignorant MAGA voters are, embarrash them. Highlight that voting MAGA is being unpatriotic to the country. Highlight that patriotism is saying NO to Trump/MAGA/White Christian Conservstism

When a mini dictator Nazi / ‘Facilitator’ like Trump is exhausting, w/their manipulation lies & propaganda. Not only are they a sociopathic psychotic Terrorist, they are Perverted! Conservstism! #TrumpsAmerica #GOP -
1/2 a century of Zombie smash & grab Anti American Anti Democratic Reagan FASCISM!

Youngsters are not afraid of the word socialism. We all know the most loved benefits of Americans are Social Security and Medicare. And we know both are socialist programs.

Be honest. Socialism is not the problem. CONservstism is.

Conservstism has been a grievous injury for some time now, Fiscal conservatism has been a laughable joke the entire time...

But all of it wreaks immeasurable havoc downstream.

To pick this back up there’s Conservstism as a political ideology which has basically nothing to do with conservatism as a policy concept. This is why the term reactionary is so useful, because nobody who calls themselves conservative right now actually is.

Did Tan Tehan say.

It's not the liberal (conservatives) policy to get to net zero.

You can't have no net zero policy and then say. We will reduce emissions while mining for coal and drilling for gas.

Yep. Conservstism is done in Australia.

#auspol

Yep. While the UK went Tory. We completely rejected conservstism in '83.

I don't think cis people will notice until it affects them or friends/family, which it will eventually as Gender Conservstism is just the thin end of a fascist wedge

These definitions, from Ben Hillier of Red Flag, provide a useful reference point. Particularly when so much said by lying & ignorant politicians;
& a captured, timid, weak, & often complicit media provides deliberate disinformation & talking points as fact.

Thread 🧵:

They are misguided and hateful and dragging us down and backwards. Until we overwhelm them this will not end. Conservstism is a violation of the law of physics.

Corporations arw fundamentally conservative in their outlook. And conservstism has always believed that only some people deserve rights.

Conservstism is the belief that the in group be allowed to control the bodies of the out group.

When the fuck did realizing that #PrivateCorporations being "integrated" into the #FederalGovernment is #BadThing make me a #Liberal... unless you mean #ClassicalLiberalism, AKA #Conservstism

🖕 your #Populist #Bullshit

Conservstism is a mental illness.
