          No, that's not a strawman, conservatism in the context of liberal democracies and/or capitalist mode of production demonstrably entrenches white supremacy through historical links to European colonization and imperialism that still rear their heads to this day. To pretend otherwise is intellectually lazy and dishonest in a way that only the biggest rubes fall for. Your shtick is boring, overdone, and easy to dismiss for the farce it is.

          Edit: In addition, liberalism in the context of liberal democracies (and pretty much in every historical instance I can recall) has been responsible for entrenching white supremacy due to it's nature of upholding a bourgeois order built out of the context of white supremacist genocide and colonization.

      One person being extremely extroverted and going to parties, and another being extremely introverted and preferring their alone time is two people believing different things.

      One person committed to an ideology that continually oppresses and degrades all life on earth for the benefit of the individual and another who is committed to the betterment of society are not just believing different things, they are believing things that are diametrically opposed to each other.

      My opinion is that you should rot and burn in hell. I do political organizing and vote for people who, if elected, will do their best to make sure you rot and burn in hell.
      Its just a difference in opinion though, we can still hang out and be civil.
