I’m just curious what y’all think about that aspect of your identity. What’s it based on? What are its limits?

    The foundation of my conservative values is my distrust of the government, either they are intentionally fucking people over or their programs accidentally do at a huge cost to tax payers. Government is incapable of making policy at a micro level that is tailored to an individual’s needs.

    Tipper Gore with her push censor music was the thing that changed me from apolitical to conservative.

      So, how do you think about corporate malfeasance? Because businesses are capable of making policies at a micro level that are tailed to individual needs…that extract value from them to redirect to shareholders.

    Actual conservative here. To me it mostly means a defense of the essential culture and values of Christendom, AKA Western civilization.

      Thank you.

      What do you mean though? It could mean anything from literally waging war to a steeping yourself in its philosophy to push back against other ideological strains…or both.
