    That’s the entire Right. You cannot win them on the grounds of good-faith, truthfulness, or humanity because their politics is solely about power. Conservative politics are the politics of abusers—litterally everything they wish to “conserve” within society includimg “tradition” is their freedom and ability to abuse. That’s it:

    Family values is not about creating healthy families, it is about patriarchy and the right of the parents to abuse their children.

    Defending the sanctity of marriage is about defining LGBTQ people out of legal rights and entitlements.

    School choice is about controlling what ideas not just their children are exposed to but their neighbors as well.

    Etc. Etc.

    Every conservative position is a bad faith push to further their ability to control the lives others and their ideas deserve neither respect nor a platform.



  • Rothbard is the reason we associate Libertarianism with the Right. He’s the one that suggested calling themselves Libertarians and Anarcho-Capitalists. Before him, Libertarianism was a Socialist thing and had little to do with Capitalism.

    Basically, modern Libertarians stole the term from the Left to re-brand themselves as something they weren’t and to create this guise of pretending to care about people’s liberty and freedom—which they also don’t because Rothbard supported and advised Fascists and had no problem with slavery or indentured servitude.

    The Right loves to steal and re-define terms used on the left.
