    it never ceases to amaze me how capable conservatives are at recognizing how bad conservatism is, as long as you dont tell them its conservatism they are recognizing and criticizing.

    once you do, suddenly the brain shuts off and all that bad shit transmogrifies into sunshine and lollypops

      “Conservitism” to them is synonymous with capitalism first and foremost. In their dichotomy, everything that isn’t that is communism and therefore (since big communist regimes are fascist) fascist.
