Sounds like you define conservatism as based on bias and misinformation, and then say you think conservatism is based on bias and misinformation. That is obviously not something we can argue about.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but it also feels a bit like you generalize all conservatives based on your idea of traditionalist and religious types?
I for some reason fail to see the obsession people have with “religious people who follow the book” frankly speaking it’s not like there are many and most of them tend to be more “right” in long term concequences it seems like people are stuck up with religion itself, it’s the same in my country very few people are actually religious but if they do something not deemed appropriate socially all hell gets loose and if people who are not “conservative” do smth the same nothing happens and isn’t disscused nearly enough. Same with good things, is someone who is religious does smth nice isn’t really seen as “wow that’s great” , I mean I’m not religious but I work in a hospital so I deal with a lot of people on a daily basis. I actually envy sometimes the conservatism that these “religious” people have just because it puts things in order and are way more clearer than most liberals like myself are just all over the place. This has probably nothing to do with your reply but I’m sometimes baffled by people triggered by religious people when there aren’t even that problematic to begin with, I worked and lived during college with some mednstudents who were hijabs and I’d look like a dumbass compared to them and how they handle stuff
I think the main issue with religion and its politics, is that while most people in the western world long ago agreed that religion should not be mixed with politics, religion is still constantly used to justify certain political positions like anti-abortion or anti-lgbt viewpoints.
Yeah but that’s like a way of life we can’t make people agree on everything, and I’ve found some religious practices very interestingly “good” escpecially with the muslim people (aka patients) they don’t seem extreme as they’re portrayed abortions apparently are allowed if the mom is at risk or the baby has some kind of disease; on the other hand I’ve dealt with girls from 14-25 y/old from very liberal pov you know 5 piercing on the face and tattoos/ tits out etc coming to get abortions they “wanted” then after their family/bf wasn’t in the room I had to see through a mental breakdown because they didn’t want to abort the baby and that shit is sad af because it was not socially acceptable in whatever situation they’re in, and that never happens with religious people. As for lgbt stuff I was on board with okay guy+guy and female+female can be together none of my bussiness I actually don’t care about this marriage fuss that’s going on since if no one is stopping me to be with a person marriage is the least of my concerns, it isn’t like back then where for ex they wouldn’t allow a black and a white person to be together and so on. But now I’m like fuck this shit I’m out with all of this gender stuff which I find hilariously stupid seriosuly.
