I have an online friend who wastes his time dunking on boomers and "left wing germans" (aka mainstream germans) on twitter. It's really depressing to scroll through his posts. Especially because he even uses the polite for of "you" like an old person would. Fucking weird
@igeljaeger but hes owning the libs, with facts and logic
@a7 Im glad germans dont call lefties 'liberal'
@igeljaeger The United States is ridiculously ideologically narrow. What's called conservatism in the US is technically still liberalism. @a7
@terryenglish @igeljaeger @a7 Well I mean, our very constitution was built around being liberal. Our favorite word is liberty.
@igeljaeger @a7 @terryenglish Does it mean drinking only a little EU jizz a day instead of the whole bucket?
@kro @a7 @terryenglish are conservatives conservative about values that are 3, 30, 50, 100 years old, or older? Depens on your answer to that
@igeljaeger @kro @terryenglish completely depends on the conservative, they all call themselves the same thing, some people want 100 years ago when women knew their place some want 30 years ago when the homo’s didnt whine so much.
@a7 @igeljaeger @kro @terryenglish Conservatives want to preserve values and traditions as the foundations of society as it moves with the times, obviously. It's a mistake to think it's about imposing a model from the 50s or taking away individual freedoms, it's actually about adapting to the times and figuring out how to have a society of traditional families raising healthy children in the modern world.

@deadheat Conservatism is about adapting with the times. Now there's an interesting definition. @kro @igeljaeger @a7
By the way, the focus on "free markets and small government" pushed by the wealthy elites who took over mainstream conservatism in the United States do not represent this ideal. Their policies have not made it easier for people to marry, have children and educate them in a healthy environment, and it's promoted for their own selfish interests. They also have done nothing to protect the American institutions from being taken over by progressives, who now push their social engineering like transgenderism as mainstream ideas.
