      conservatism

      Consevationism, there’s so many other aspects of conservativism than conservationism, the capitalists/right wingers aren’t going to hurt themselves by outlawing all of conservativism.

      Conservativism also touches on race, religion, economics, and others that are unique or spawned by the main tenets of conservativism.

        Conservationism is not in any way a part of modern conservatism. Conservatives hate everything about conservation of nature.

        I’m keenly aware of the difference between conservatism and conservationism.

        Conservatives are famous for aggresively damaging the planet with their destructive legislation and anti-science positions. They are a plague of death in desperate need of a cure.

        The mission of conservatives, based on their actions, appears to be the destruction of the planet’s inhabitants. It is a cancer that will stop at nothing to kill us all. Conservatives delight in the misery and death of others and, if we do not stop them, they will gleefully kill us all.

        Conservatism should be abolished and erased from the planet.

          When you are right you cannot be too radical; when you are wrong, you cannot be too conservative

          -MLK Jr

          Love-making is radical, while marriage is conservative.

          Conservatism should be abolished and erased from the planet.

          This is like the war on “terrorism” or “drugs” (drugs won, lol), you can’t wage war on thoughts or things, no matter how progressive and futuristic we become there are going to be “conservatives”, people that don’t want to change this or that, religious folks, even conservationists, abolishing them isn’t just monstrous and unreasonable, but probably impossible, it’s also by nature a conservative reaction. Progressivism and conservatism are sliding scales going to infinity, each way representing one of the two values, so where would you even put the line? There’s always going to be “too conservative” or “too progressive”. It’s like how back in the day people protested automobiles, or when we stopped murdering “witches”. It’s like one of those people who called Harry Potter “satanic” and now Harry Potter is all good with right wingers because JK Rowling is a TERF.

          What is progressive and what is conservative even switches sides in certain circumstances too, like when during the “Southern strategy” occurred where the center left liberal Republican party, and the center Right Conservative Democratic party of the 1800’s became the Center Left Liberal Democratic party and Center Right Conservative Republican party of the 1960’s onward.

          You have to know you’re enemy, just saying conservative is too vague, as conservative is a political spectrum, you’re talking about the American GOP/Republicans, or the British Tory’s, or the rest of the shit heads on this list.

            Problem is, most people who want to save the planet hate the very people who is able to kickstart a space industry development
