It satisfies all of them, if you don’t understand that’s a you problem

It can, it also sometimes can’t unless you ask it “could it be x answer”

Nixon Foundation has been posting edits of him on their Youtube channel, tons of pro-Nixon comments

Headline is just a lie, its not banned

no one person is single handedly making decisions for everyone else on a given subject.

No, as I said, the best you can get when you have a unrestricted democratic government is the majority making decisions for the minority. That’s still not good.

being pro cop and antiprogressive is conservative.

I am neither of those things. And it’s very condescending to assume you know what I am. Well it depends what “anti progressive” means, I support some progressive stances but oppose others.

If you’re not applying pressure for reformation

Again, you don’t know me.

The rich aren’t progressive. Companies pandering to diverse customers aren’t progressive

They may or may not be. I think it’s wrong to assume companies aren’t just made of people, and people may make some logical oversights of their beliefs to keep their standard of living and job.

Social media companies don’t censor conservatives unfairly, instead they protect conservatives from the policies they implement to prevent brands from pulling advertising.

Why would brands pull their advertising? No person sees an Amazon ad on something dumb and thinks that means Amazon endorses that belief. There are however certain organizations such as the ADL that pressure companies into pulling their ads.

Accurate descriptions of reality in science and journalism tend to support progressives more than conservatives, with publications often introducing inaccuracies to prop up conservative positions.

This is true. Progressivism has a basic moral value of utilitarianism. Conservatism basic moral values are religion and tradition. Of course one of those has more evidence for it.

Many agents that I thought were left wing actually weren’t, instead only supporting left wing causes for personal gain.

Well isn’t that a lot of those out of power too? After all, one of the biggest criticism of poor Trump voters was that they were voting against their interest. They weren’t voting for personal gain. Which would imply that at least some less conservative voters were convinced by that argument. Maybe no one votes in their interest, but at least conventional wisdom was the two wolves and a sheep saying.

Empirical observations are almost always in opposition to right wing plans for improving society.

You know, how you define improving society depends on your values. We probably agree on some parts of the definition and disagree on others.

Exclusively right wing plans never make things better for the weak; never.

That’s not to mention the definitions of right and left wing tend to depend on the person.

Being effected doesn’t mean there is a “we” that is justified in making decisions for others

I appreciate you sharing, but I think you’re misunderstanding me and what I was saying. I am not conservative, nor am I progressive. My point was just that progressivism was the dominant ideology of authority in most of my upbringing. Being the authority ideology doesn’t inherently make it wrong, or its “designated opposition” right. I have a few fundamental values that are based(like I think deep down probably everyones) on my intuition and emotion. I then try to interpret how certain things align with those values. Its true that probably at least some of the basis for those values were initially rebelliousness- but that doesn’t exactly make them wrong. I also don’t know that I agree there is such a thing as a fundamental truth- but I’m curious what you are the likely answers to (and what are) humanity’s biggest questions?

There are plenty of people who homestead. Are they at least out of the we? And I never disagreed that most people rely on each other. Instead I disagree that that mutual reliance makes a collective of people with the same desires, interests, and goals.

Well it’s not everyone, both those things effect people differently. Even if I live in a country with decaying infrastructure- if I barely go outside it doesn’t effect me that much. Or, I may value infrastructure or the climate differently than you.

Especially because average privilege accross a demographic says nothing of a given individuals privilege.

But I think that’s not the only reason people feel this way, but also because for the people we interact with they are the authority. Most of my teachers were progressive, anti-capitalist, and ERFs(I don’t know about trans exclusionary since they never talked about it)- but said ridiculous things like “men can’t get raped”. This might’ve been just my school, but especially amongst girls, anyone suspected of being “conservative” was bullied. I wasn’t conservative but was pretty argumentative, and I have someone email my school email thanking me for saying what they wanted to say but were too scared to.

Remember for a lot of people my age, early 20s and late teens, when we were growing up people who made funny memes(like from our perspectives Alex Jones or whoever) were being banned while the inverse wasn’t happening.

What is the we?

Agreed, but there is no we. You shouldn’t make decisions for me either.

Yeah?

To a lot of young people, myself included. The authority, or at least the authority we interact with- is progressive. So something like a thin blue line flag is rejecting that authority. Also the Gadsden flag has always been anti-authority.

I’d prefer people making decisions for themselves as much as possible.

The difference is generally they make it voluntary

We individually aren’t, in theory the majority on any issue is.

Sadly people like to tell other people what to do
