lmao moving the goalposts, you may leave now.Maybe, but what about the hundreds of "cancelled" books/movies/personalities ? When I talked about burning books I didn't only mean it literally.
Yet your views align perfectly with the idiocy of MAGA nonetheless.
Personally, I continue to see no reason to differentiate a conservative from a Nazi in 2024.
That's not what it means lmaoSo if one seeks to conserve democracy, making them by definition a conservative, would they be a Nazi by merit of seeking to conserve something?
That's not what it means lmao

If anything, conservatives degrade democracy as they are only interested in their power. look at all the voter suppression conservatives did in UK and US to ensure they keep winning by disenfranchising voters.
Just ask yourself who is burning books these days. It's a very simple and sure way to tell who has a fascist mindset.
The one that is actually recognised today in the language we are speaking with each other, not the one that exists only in your head and which no english dictionary recognises. You want to rely on the latin meaning? Then maybe you should speak latin. There's plenty of people in the Vatican who'd be delighted to ignore you.Your refutation is appealing to the contemporary dictionary. My response is appealing to the Latin root. We must now discuss which ought to be considered correct and why if we are to continue this conversation.
Not nessecarially. Just as with most political topics, conservatism can be reasonably interpreted to mean differing sets of values based on who the person in question is.The one that is actually recognised today in the language we are speaking with each other, not the one that exists only in your head and which no english dictionary recognises.

Seriously, learn History... You're really embarrassing yourself once again. And you're insulting the millions of people who died in concentration camps. You should be ashamed.Personally, I continue to see no reason to differentiate a conservative from a Nazi in 2024.
There have been numerous right wing gatherings to burn books the last couple years.

Please read posts before replying... You are seriously hopelessWhat's arguably worse than being far-right is being a blind supporter of the far-right, because that's where their power is derived from.
Amazing. It's like context doesn't exist for you.Etymology lesson: The root of conservative is conserve. Conserve is derived from the Latin conservare, meaning to preserve or keep. My question stands in response to equating conservative with Nazi as it is possible to have a position seeking to preserve or keep values opposed to Nazism.

I favor appealing to the Latin as it avoids any dilutions that have occurred over time, which make it more difficult to correctly interpret older text, which I consider to still be a valuable knowledge resource.
Quite a few people, including far-right Christians, like Greg LockeJust ask yourself who is burning books these days. It's a very simple and sure way to tell who has a fascist mindset.
I read it. You saying you're not far-right doesn't make you not far-right.Please read posts before replying... You are seriously hopelessBye

The one that is actually recognised today
A person who conserves or preserves something; (now usually) an adherent of traditional values, ideas, and institutions; an opponent of (social and political) change, a conservative person.
in the language we are speaking with each other, not the one that exists only in your head and which no english dictionary recognises.

It does. This is why I am challenging the definition of conservative. The concept of democracy is a political concept. If one seeks to conserve democracy, would they not be a political conservative?Amazing. It's like context doesn't exist for you.
No, they would not. In the context of the political parties, which is the context he was using the term in, conservative refers to a specific ideology, it hasn't got anything to do with conserving x thing or y thing. It's pretty simple but apparently not for you since Ansem spoon fed it to you and you still busted out the Webster.It does. This is why I am challenging the definition of conservative. The concept of democracy is a political concept. If one seeks to conserve democracy, would they not be a political conservative?

I didn't say (or suggest) anything about Nazis. I explained to him what context is when he busted out the semantics. He is objectively wrong about this, Nazis or no Nazis.Conservatives don't share the same views amongst themselves, there's overlap and there is conflict in ideals. It's foolish to think there are only 2 types of people. But for you, here is what you are suggesting to be "Nazi".
- Limited Government: Many conservatives advocate for a limited role of the government in daily life, emphasizing individual freedom and responsibility.
- Free Market Economy: A strong belief in capitalism and free market principles is common, with the idea that economic freedom leads to personal and national prosperity.
- Traditional Values: Conservatives often emphasize the importance of traditional social values, which can include views on family, religion, and national identity.
- Strong National Defense: A robust military and a strong stance on national security are typically emphasized in conservative ideology.
- Individual Liberties: Rights such as freedom of speech, right to bear arms, and religious freedom are often strongly defended by conservatives.
- Law and Order: A focus on the importance of law enforcement and a strong legal system is another hallmark of many conservative viewpoints.
Oh so you know my own political affiliations better than I do... mmmkay You'd do great in an inquisitorial tribunal.I read it. You saying you're not far-right doesn't make you not far-right.
You know your own political affiliation, you are just being disingenuous about it. It's easy to spot when you can't even back up your own claims. See here.Oh so you know my own political affiliations better than I do... mmmkay You'd do great in an inquisitorial tribunal.
