    what you just said means you are not a conservative…

    a conservative would want to keep the highway system the way it is, take more money away from its maintenance bugdet if anything. a conservative would never want to dissolve large businesses. a conservative would not give a crap about what you’re using as shelter, and certainly wouldn’t believe that access to housing is a basic human right.

    You’re a lot more left than you realize. you might even be socialist. do you believe that the workers of a company should be given the profit that company enjoys, or should it all go to the shirts at the top? Do you believe that the working class should never be disarmed, and any attempt to disarm the working class should be disrupted?

      yes, very aware of that, as i am in fact an anarchist syndicalist.

      the point is to make fun of how modern conservatives have nothing they want to conserve other than their racial purity and personal wealth.

      i would very much like to reclaim the term conservative for opinions that are ACTUALLY conservative, such as ending the suburban experiment and the neoliberal pursuit of wealth above actual happiness and social stability.
