They’re scared :lenin-laugh:
Also this is just a list of countries where the US killed indiscriminately to end socialism (not Cambodia)
“ Whereas the “Father of the Constitution”, President James Madison, wrote that it “is not a just government, nor is property secure under it, where the property which a man has in his personal safety and personal liberty, is violated by arbitrary seizures of one class of citizens for the service of the rest”; and
Whereas the United States of America was founded on the belief in the sanctity of the individual, to which the collectivistic system of socialism in all of its forms is fundamentally and necessarily opposed: Now, therefore, be it resolved that Congress denounces socialism”
Lemme just cite a slaver on the violation of one class of citizens for the benefit of another
Okay but now I'm clueless about who is "they"? There are normal people that are conservatives just because they literally don't know anything. Like literal calcified rock-brains that are byproducts of a horribly inefficient and counterproductive education system. Those people are definitely not excused from having shit takes, and when they get in the way, I promise I won't have any qualms about which of them goes against the wall, but I think it's a massive stretch to assume they are consciously nefarious agents, when they are so clearly dullard in everything they know. This is especially the case when we consider that we can clearly deprogram 90% of these people when we use language that doesn't offend their sensibilities. The only reason I'm under the impression these "ordinary chuds" are the "they" of conversation, is because your general reflection back to "the conservative mind" after you make your point about their political leaders.
If we're discussing "they" as in, the political leaders of conservatism, then to that I entirely agree, on both your psychological analysis and the dialectical one premised in the first part of your comment.
