MODERATORS
I’m so tired of conservatives.
That’s my version.
They don't even want to conserve anything good. Their whole "family values" trope is just an engine for violent abusive men to have a green light to be violent and abusive to their families without repercussion.
Every single thing they want to "conserve" are all the things holding humanity back.
They want to conserve the power of white male supremacy and the outsized power of wealth on society.
That's the entire platform. They want select white men to have all the wealth and power, with descending social hierarchies that are fixed in stone.
So yes, everything that was wrong with the past, everything that is still holding us back. Literally so.
This thread talks about how 15-20% of the economic growth of the last 60 years was driven by being slightly less shitty to women and black people.
Businesses already know that diversity and acceptance mean more profits. They don't even care about the value of human life.
They just figured out that:
None of that has anything to do with accepting/understanding that all human life has intrinsic value. It's just about profits.
Yet they would dump those profits down the drain just so they could discriminate a little longer, fucking idiots.
Yep. Just like how the U.S. military is spending a huge amount of money investing on doing what they can to protect themselves from climate change. It's not because they're woke liberals, it's because they see the writing on the wall.
But what's even the point in having money if I can still get cancelled for calling my wife the n-word in a restaurant full of obviously-criminal Mexicans?
Republicans aren't even the conservative party any more, they're regressives. The current conservatives are the establishment Democrats, like Joe "nothing will fundamentally change" Biden. (And yes, before someone jumps on it saying he was talking to rich people, I know. If anything, that's worse.)
Every conservative woman I know is a single mother with a deadbeat baby daddy.
Funny how these white people became what they criticized blacks of for so long.
I'm so tired
