Today, we still have the king’s friends even where there is no king (dictator, etc.). Another way to look at this is that the king is a faction, rather than an individual.

As the CORE proposition of conservatism is indefensible if stated baldly, it has always been surrounded by an elaborate backwash of pseudophilosophy, amounting over time to millions of pages. All such is axiomatically dishonest and undeserving of serious scrutiny. Today, the accelerating de-education of humanity has reached a point where the market for pseudophilosophy is vanishing; it is, as The Kids Say These Days, tl;dr . All that is left is the core proposition itself — backed up, no longer by misdirection and sophistry, but by violence.

Baby and bathwater breh. I am able to see the value in only the two things I mentioned. The rest is trash.


Im a pragmatist at heart. I believe you can harvest an apple without eating the core.

That's because you assume that in the two things you like, you belong to the ingroup :yeshrug:

That Republicans from Lincoln’s day are the same as today, ultimately freeing the slaves :unimpressed:

Either they know & want to be ignorant or just dumb. During Reconstruction politicians had backroom deals where the parties essentially switched ideologies and halted civil rights “progression” of their day

  • Socialism/communism has failed everywhere, not really a downright lie, more like lying by omission
  • Street crime effects more people then corporate/white collar crime
  • Black on black crime is a thing (it’s not)
