Believe me, Mr. El. I am more than familiar with the intense tribalism and pseudo-intellectualism that characterizes the majority of the regular posters here. That's why I come here: to observe cognitive failure in real time.

I mean, just look at the response of the delightful Mr. Trot:

I'd think that you'd be capable of seeing the flaw in EC's views here. I think that tribalism maybe prevents you from acknowledging it. Or is there another reason?
 
So you acknowledge that one can be on the right and not conservative, and that there are ideologies to the right of conservatism?
Without a doubt. What those ideologies are however will be a point of indifference.
 
You are taking a 200 year old Eurocentric view of what conservatism was in Europe and applying it to America. I assure you I'm not the one here using a private definition.


Comedy was never your thing.
That one was for Limbo Pete.

The error is on your part.

Define conservatism

Ah, more projection from the resident welcher, the newest addition to the "latch on to a catch all term as a crutch" team; pseudo-intellectual may now join leftist, globalist, and socialist, in the lexicon of Crutches for the Rhetorically Challenged. Congratulations. I'm sure Breitbart would be very proud of your contribution. You should apply to be the new Milo.

I don't know what that means, but the natural implication here is that "preserving the status quo" is not necessarily right-wing.

There's a Tommy Boy quote about taking a dump in a box and labeling it that seems appropriate to this discussion.


No True Scotsman would ever be an American Conservative, or something, I think.

Conservatism is always inherently on the right. Is everyone on the right a conservative? No. Is conservatism always on the right? Yes.

Now since we will never agree let's move on shall we?

Define conservatism

There are different possible definitions. For the sake of argument here and condensing as much as possible, what I think we're looking at is the belief that society should evolve organically and that tradition carries wisdom that is not easily articulated that should be respected.

The thing is, I think it's just a matter of objective truth rather than some kind of difference of opinion. But we can agree that your definition of the "American right" doesn't apply to the American right (that is, the real political movement that is solidly behind Donald Trump) and does apply to the American left.

Got into a nasty political argument yesterday at the water slides with some dude. Long story short, I accused him of employing the "No True Whigs" fallacy and he called me a cuckold. So I slapped his five year old son across the face and made my escape down the "Dooming Vvrooming."
Hearty lol

Tsk yet more mis-attribution. R&B sometimes, rap almost never.

Wow, seriously splitting hairs between rap and R&B? Just the sort of petty, bad faith pedantry that I would expect of a WMWTTSTMAAISLTRMS. You people are the scum between my toes.
