Who are your favorites? Who has the right of it?Who can save us from the Bernie Bros and the Kamalists and Donald Roosevelts market interventionism and neo command economy? Are there any of us left? What are we reading?>notes to prevent Low IQ spam>anti-rationalist means a rejection of the French Revolution and the idea that the government can tear down all of society and build it back up in a better way, and is generally skeptical of major interventions by the state on grounds of reason>secular does not mean atheist, it means separate, ie - a bunch of revanchist Catholics will not fall into this group, they are conservatives because they view it as the best objective outlook, not to build more churches etc etc.

No one can save you, especially not the calm, quiet, anti-rationalist conservative intellectual. Have you noticed that these types have done nothing to help anyone in about a hundred years? Why do you need someone else to "save" you? Do you not realize that we are on a runaway train with no breaks heading into levels of complexity and confusion never before fathomed (even by the anti-rationalist cowards)? There is no salvation, you child.

>>25256007Conservatives get attacked because they refuse to speak your language. But when you examine their stances, they are actual responses to the points you raise.>into levels of complexityWhich are enhanced by global capitalism. So the conservative push towards economic nationalism simplifies economic interactions by creating shorter supply chains.>and confusionAgain born out via the need for global coordination which conservatives deal by emphasizing a country first, isolationist approach.
>>25255248You can't be a conservative while being pro-capitalism, it's an oxymoron.
>>25258465You can't be a conservative while being a revolutionary.
