every once in a while i like to listen to conservatives talk. just to see how they're doing over there. and the absolute double think necessary to be a conservative is mind boggling

like one of the big things with conservatism is "keeping up the past" right. and that "past" is just western european ideals which is its own bucket of worms but the gist is "individualism good, sharing bad". however right wingers (specifically trans ones. think blaire white) will talk about how "the majority is cis so we should make sure they're the most comfortable :)" THAT JS THE OPPOSITE OF INDIVIDUALISM. WHICH YOU WERE JUST TELLING ME IS GOOD. THESE THINGS MEAN THE OPPOSITE THINGS AND I AM CRYI G

#sage talks #idk man conservatism just emphasizes same ness which is so boring #and that just might be bc i'm autistic + lesbian + the other brain problems. but sameness is so full #i love listening to everyone's different life experiences. and i have a desire to make them better #also conservatism is typically pitted against communism and civil rights activists were seen as communists bc they wanted equal rights #which. hmmmm. makes you wonder now doesn't it #regardless. i do actually find politics interesting because i cannot imagine myself believing this shit #and even then i find myself occasionally falling down the pipeline #'we should make sure ppl are comfortable :)' yes 'so we should consider their opinions' yes! 'and their opinion is that your existence is #invalid' huh 'and so you should stop' Huh #like it's really easy to fall down that pipeline #because it starts so normally. lmao #whatever. can you tell i'm autistic and have some sort of spin when it comes to 20th century + forward history
