It´s just a hunch for me, but conservatives have already given up on the whole civility thing which I have yet to experience a single liberal abandon. When people talk about their journey towards leftism, it´s either they used to be chuds or they were never sold on capitalism to begin with.

This is just anecdotal and based on my scewed experience. Anyone got something to add or refute?

    I guess we have very different crowds then. I live in europe where practically everyone around me is leaving the church right now. Liberal or conservative, or even my old catholic teacher is without confession now. And when it comes to intenet interaction, I rarely ever see people arguing from a religious point of view. So in that sense, I have very little issue conversing with those considered conservative here. I´ve never met any truly religious crazy person except maybe one, the ex-friend of a cousin, and I only found out because they broke up over his evangelicalism fueled anti-vax bs.

    I totally get you. I wouldn´t even know how to talk to a cultist on social issues like they seem to be relatively common in the US.

      Ah yes, very different social contexts between the US and Europe, for sure. The settler colonial mindset here is very powerful, especially among white chuds.

      You made a mistake not mentioning that you were talking about eroupe in the post. As you just mentioned this is a completely different question entirely in burgerland which when asked like that is usually a hard lol no.

      This is a mostly US based site. You are totally right that in the rest of the world, conservatives are more likely to align with working class views.
