HOW CONSERVATIVES THINK - Conservative Philosophy Explained!
Вставка
- Опубліковано 18 чер 2024
- Conservative Philosophy is a very polarizing and hot topic in today's political landscape. Due to people like Donald Trump, numerous hate groups such as the KKK, and Fox News this philosophy has earned a bad reputation. But is its perception warranted or is it a mire misunderstanding? That's what this videos all about, so I hope you guys enjoy it!

I love that you focus on the fundamentals rather than the fridge aspects of American conservatism your presentation was clearly very unbiased. I’m a not a conservative but you explained everything very well from a lay persons perspective.
Thank you.
Thank you for creating this! The animation was great and made it very easy to follow. This was a very useful tool in understanding this philosophy.
I'm here trying to understand conservatives for the sake of friendships in my life. I thought this was going to be conservatives are amazing and everybody else sucks. Thank you for being objective. Integrity is a thing. I truly believe that my political opponent is not my enemy. However that seems to be the only way to learn about the other parties is to either accept that you're deplorable or they are.
Every single conservative IS a garbage person, for as long as they VOTE for white nationalists and actual nazis. Conservatism is rooted in religion. Many conservatives claim to adhere to the bible as the basis for morality. The bible advocates for slavery, genocide, sexism, racism, and the ostracism of the other. Conservatism attempts to claim our universal humanism as it's own distinct trait. When laid out in a linear structure, the distinctions of conservatism you are left with are markedly similar to the tenets of their personal religious belief. Conservatives are monolithic because their isn't a large pool of conservative thought, because conservatism is rooted in religion. Conservatives are taught lies about their nature. Galileo made it clear, there is no use for a "god" concept in any equation.
@@davidlee4903 I am a Conservative. I used to go to church and don't anymore. We have Gay Conservatives. We tend to let our women speak up more often than not. Only the most extreme ones among us would even consider slavery acceptable - although admittedly, the submission / obedience issue is a legit problem in more abusive religious circles. I came from that background, so I concede that there is some truth to what you are saying. I'm just here to say that Conservatism is more diverse than the way you portray it. As for the ostracism, a family in my first Progressive community shunned me when I was a child. They seemed to have misinterpreted a kind gesture as a sign of mental illness on my end, so the mom didn't want me to play with her kids - although she let my mom know that my sister could go over to their place. Other Progressives have insinuated that they hope I die of Covid. They have also talked trash about me and used a threat of shunning to intimidate me in our community, because they didn't agree with me. So, when you talk about ostracism and the like, um, I've personally experienced that from Progressives, not Conservatives (as far as I know). That's not to say that it doesn't happen. It does, sometimes; but my point is that it's more a matter of how strongly-entrenched someone's beliefs are - regardless as to their politics or religion. What I mean is that dispensation of existence is a potential sign of thought reform, according to Progressive psychiatrist Dr. Robert Lifton. I haven't yet finished his book "Thought Reform and the Psychology of Totalism: A Study of 'Brainwashing' in China" (originally published in 1961), but I read chapters 1-21 and skimmed the rest of the book. To be clear, Dr. Lifton did at least an informal psychoanalysis on Trump and his followers, and - as I recall - determined that there was some pathology present. You see, Conservatives like me are not opposed to learning from others at times. For me, that has meant considering perspectives including Vox, The Atlantic, Salon, The New York Times and several other Left-leaning publications. Have you done the same, with regards to Conservative publications? One of my personal favorites isn't Conservative per se, but more Conservative-Libertarian: Reason. I also like hearing from Black intellectuals and similar voices, such as Dr. Glenn Loury, Dr. John McWhorter, Coleman Hughes and Jason Riley.
I should clarify: I don't go to church right now; but I do believe in God. But, I also would rather leave you alone. I believe that if you want to believe in Jesus, that you can start reading the Bible or go to church to learn more, if that's something you want to do.
@@lyndagruen2047 I’m not sure that you’re that conservative, just based off what I’m reading here. Sound like a moderate to me.
@@davidlee4903 I used to think like you.
Hell, the only reason why I thought I was more left-leaning was solely because of the bullshit Trump supporters (truly “cuntservatives”, as I like to label them as) give to people who think like you every day since Trump’s run, nomination, and eventual win.
I thought I was a liberal solely because of pity for you.
However, the more I delved into your particular ideology, the more I realized: yes, we actually *do need* laws and regulations, as well as the overall civil rights of it’s people.
It was then that I considered myself more center-left: yes, civil rights for all is a good thing, *but*, again, we need to temper that with structure and discipline, otherwise, yes, it *would* become chaos.
HOWEVER, conservatism these days has truly become toxic: instead of logical and rational thinking that benefits society as a whole, instead it is just pure vitriol and cruelty, just for the sake of “law and order” (in which the hypocrisy of cuntservatives is evident on January 6th, especially when they constantly bitch about lioting and rooting all the time).
My point is, we need a healthy balance of both, or maybe perhaps more leaning on the liberal side, these days.
Aye this is an awesome video. Far from a conservative, but I will show my little brothers this video so they will have a more educated approach to the world as they grow up.
This is rare. An actually important video. Well done and thanks.
Thanks for not just attacking us, but while I don’t talk for all conservatives I think it’s more like we want to see absolute proof of something before we try it rather than being stagnant. This is also why we look back to history for wisdom.
It's interesting that my moral upbringing in the area of things like sexuality were very conservative leaning. However, the sense of fairness for minorities that was also instilled in me is quite liberal leaning. And of course personality traits effect my views and feelings. I think most of us have some of both conservative and liberal in our hearts. However, human nature wants to be "right". We then tend to band together with others who agree with our ideas of being "right".
I'm looking forward to your analysis of liberalism! Thanks!
Thank you very much for this well put together video. I having been searching for something clear and foundational to help me begin to understand the political divide in the USA. This is illuminating.
I'm a proud American, but the USA is on its last stand right now. Both sides hate each other very much. Have a good day
Late to the party, I know, but if you're still learning this stuff, read "the righteous mind" by Jonathan Haidt. A self proclaimed left wing atheist looks at why people differ on politics. Long but excellent read. He also has several youtube videos.
I also enjoyed that book.
@:0:25 "Dominate"
@045 "Liberals too brainwashed"
@2:22 "free enterprise"
@3:46 "insure the freedom of individuals"
now this where it goes ignorant.
@3:53. replace the word "authoritarianism" with "totalitarianism".
"Author" is the root word in "authoritarian". as in a author of a plan. a party with a plan. and conservatism is against a plan. to block the Left's plan.
Opposite of a plan is deregulations.
Free enterprise with no plan. no regulations.
Now the definition of Liberal is Liberal freedom except when infringes on other people's freedom. Rules. regulations. so it doesn't infringe on other people's freedom. opposite of free enterprise.
For example, free market, as long as worker's rights are not infringed on. so the working-class's rights are not infringed on by the free (no rules) market.
I’ve read it, and it seemed like a thinly disguised defense of conservatism. I didn’t like it much.
This video is awesome man. Keep it up.
Well done. Some disagreement, but one of the best on conservatism so far.
Thank you.
Very Good. By your voice you seem like a young guy, and I want to encourage you to keep going. Best wishes on a bright future. -Brian

My brother-in law is a conservative who critiques Democrats on who he believe is wrong, but a Republican has the same thing or worse he remains violent observing Ronald Reagan's "thou shall not critique another Republican" 11th commandment. That's conservative philosophy put in to practice.

All your videos and subjects are so relevant to my life right now. Thank you!!
Happy to help! I'm going to try to upload more going forward, feel free to drop any suggestions.
nice pfp
As an conservative from America, I really liked how you talked about conservatives. I get the sense you are on the more liberal side, but you did very good on shedding light on the good parts and why conservatives think like they do. Very good execution.

Yikes
Fucking lying sack of shit.
@@woobiehastelly Yeah. I'm secretly a communist.
Being too hardcore in either ideology can be a bad thing, however, there are too many flaws with mainstream conservatism, and we are starting to see the fallout now with the disinformation, cultism, and anti-science/anti education contrarianism.
Says: "Being too hardcore in either ideology can be a bad thing..." then proceeds to be hardcore in one of the ideologies. lol
@@seth.czerepak what did I mention that was hardcore in one of them? I’ll wait...
@@historybuff1017 oh, my bad. As long as you don't use the word, that means you don't fit the description. By that logic, a Nazi isn't a Nazi as long as they don't call themselves one. A fascist isn't a facist, as long as they don't call themselves one. Same with Marxists, Communists, Serial Killers, and even biological men or women. Got it. And you accuse other people of disformation? 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
@@seth.czerepak looked at your profile. Checks out...
Both sides are guilty, COVID has proven the lefts dogmatic obsession with shifting the goal post and implementing policies for others they themselves do not follow. Anti science is not the replacement for disagreement, but that’s what many have concluded. It’s not that we are anti science, many of us simply question the current science and are labeled for doing so. And as far as education goes….I’m confused as to that term you used, because it’s both conservative and liberal parents alike railing against the dangers of CRT, and educators violating parents rights to be informed before teaching their 3rd graders about Anal sex, masterbation, and gender fluidity.
Con here, this is a pretty good video explaining the ideology, maybe not fully in my honest opinion, but a damn good explanation, good job

I’m trying to understand conservatives
S t r a n g e L o n g c a t Same cause I’m a liberal
Liberal are great but not under ccp
I'm trying to understand conservatives as well. My friend that is a conservative claims I've been brain watched by social media (I'm a liberal), but I knew what brainwashing was and knew what things were obviously brainwashing so I was skeptical of his statement. But since then I've realized that I don't really apply the same expectations that I wish conservatives would to myself and that is to question what you're usually consuming. So I've been more cautious of what I've been consuming and since then found middle ground between the two political philosophies. Its been generally eye opening. Also I would like to point out I'm not a radical leftists. Its a purely silly mindset to think all conservatives are misogynists, racist, uneducated etc. That way of thinking does not cultivate discussion.
Snortis I am a conservative that just came out to my liberal friends. Want to talk, I be been feeling a bit depressed lately.
@@vhan87 Hey bud, did they take it well? Did they overreact and that's why you've been down?
Really well done.
I don’t fit in a group of people and prefer not to but I just want to know how my father thinks. I’m in the lgbtq community and I just want to know why he has something against the community. It breaks my heart that he doesn’t support me but I want to know why.
How to be conservative:
1. Pick a problem in society
2. Instead of seeking a solution, point to the problems with the people trying to solve the problem
3. Scream out to world "look at these peoples problems!"
4. Use that to justify doing NOTHING about the original problem in society
5. *bonus* use this logic to justify supporting the people actually making the problem worse!
Did I get this right?
Very well explained. I needed to understand why my views seem so radically different from those I love . I know they’re good people so what gives ?? Lol. The video makes a lot of sense . I’ve always been one to not really know for sure what side I fall on. I’m just for what works for the time being . I’ve been pushed more to one side of the spectrum than the other though due to what seemed like a lack of empathy and ( like you said in the video) they seemed very selfish and “all about me no matter the suffering of others” Now I see that they are simply too concerned about how bad things will be for all if these tried and kinda’ true?? Systems that we have in place are challenged. ) After watching this video I think I’ve always been slightly liberal , although still near the center line , just within reason . I do believe that we need a balance between of both sides to make things work . I sometimes agree with conservatives and I sometimes agree with liberals . So I have to ask are these labels just two different forms of being too extreme , only in different ways and causing different problems depending on the view ?
Holding some beliefs consistent with one side, and some with the others would leave one either a Centrist or a Libertarian. Any choice is fine. The main issue is that I think that we do well to have civil discourse and do our best not to become too extreme in our views, because the more extreme our views become, the more likely we'll hurt some people.
Very good video! Only thing I'd add is that one branch of Conservatism- British One Nation Conservatism, appears much more open to the idea of societal obligations. Benjamin Disraeli, the founder of the branch dealt with the idea of noblesse oblige- the idea that the rich have a paternalistic responsibility to the less fortunate. This idea of Conservatism you express I can understand, in the American context however. Just thought I should bring up some divergence between Conservatives in different countries.
I think you are right. The conservatism philosophy he has discussed would also adhere to that ideal as well, due to it being a traditional and historic practice - see patronage in Late Antiquity. It's intriguing, as we have the antithesis at the moment, where the elites (modern day barons) expect to be bailed out by tax dollars of the working class.
Thank you for trying to see both side a lot of people are to proud too.
I really enjoyed your video and content. The music was great too. Also have enjoyed the broader understanding from the comment section. Great work, and subscribed instantly 😁👏💜.
Conservatives understand that we are all individuals, and we are also part of society. It’s possible to be both, actually.
Exactly. Liberals view the world as a collective of separate little groups, like cliques. The blacks, the whites, the Christian, the Islam, the men, the women etc. While conservatism at it's core believes in individual liberties, but its realistic and sees that those individual liberties need to eventually be restrained in order for a collective society to operate, eg. Taxes: free market and tax as little as possible, privitize as much as possible, still pay taxes for roads and stuff
Yes you're an individual. No that doesn't mean you can't contribute to society. I love how most conservatives love individualism until it comes to abortion.... then there isn't any individual only a vessel of reproduction. Conservatives are so hypocritical.
You seem to be suffering from a little tunnel vision. You claim people are denying that a woman is an individual - but in fact you are denying that a baby is an individual.
Pro life people (at least the sane ones - who are the majority) do not deny the personhood of pregnant women. They simply recognize that every pregnancy involves not just ONE person but TWO. It is pro abortion people who outright deny the personhood of one party.
Let's be honest. This total denial of the personhood of babies is not based on any scientific argument. It's simply based on the fact that some people find it "inconvenient" to recognize that personhood.
Under the constitution, it is entirely reasonable to believe some right to abortion must exist. But to base our laws on a total denial of the personhood of one individual is irrational at best. And to regard such a blatant denial of personhood as the "morally superior" view - while casting false accusations at OTHERS of denying a personhood - requires a rather impressive level of self-delusional hypocrisy.
@@person3271 as liberals are progressive I don't think your theory is true. It's actually conservatives who continue place individuals in certain camps. This is the great myth about the conservative movement. Conservative claim to be champions of individual freedom until it conflicts with their personal beliefs. Due you believe that individuals have the right to do what they wish with their body as long as it doesn't impact another person? Do you believe that individuals should be free to consume whatever substances they choose? Do you believe that individuals should have freedom from religion? Do you believe that individuals should be allowed to love and marry whoever they choose, regardless of race and sex? Do you believe that individuals should have the right to access universal health care regardless of their personal wealth or employment status? Conservatives by definition are trying to stop change. This isn't natural as change and evolution are constantly occurring throughout the universe.
@@deanray553 a baby is an individual yes. A fetus is not a baby. A fetus is not an individual. Nobody is aborting babies. That would be murder. Aborting an undeveloped fetus is a personal choice.

Well Researched, Impartial, and explained video.
Nice job. I’m a political liberal progressive curious to understand the ideology of the “other side.” I was looking for a well-reasoned, rational discussion devoid of violent, hateful, or judgmental rhetoric of the current alt-right movement and I feel like I’ve found a great starting place.
What most concerns me is the obvious division between traditional conservatives in America and the sudden upheaval of conservative politics that advocates Fascism. And thank God. I shudder to think what would be going on in America if cooler heads had not prevailed in the 2020 elections, here.
Honest question. How are conservatives fascist when their core beliefs is less government involvement. Isn’t the left demonstrating totalitarianism with the suppression of their oppositions opinion ex: shadow banning conservatives, canceling facts that don’t fit the narrative, and forcing people to vaccinate? I’m not trying to come off as rude and I am not heavily involved with politics and maybe you can help me better understand, but when I hear someone say conservatives are fascist it sounds like an oxymoron to me. I don’t get it
I would like to see the liberal philosophy video that you alluded to do you have plans to still make it?
Conservatives start with beliefs, then ignore any demonstrable fact that conflicts with those beliefs.
Like what?

I come from Britain where everything is far less polarised, more positive and conducive. I’m a staunch defender of Conservative philosophy & went into this ready for battle & to bash the uninformed American.
You really did me proud, this is incredibly holistic, honest and largely fair.
My only gripe would be continental conservatism tends to be far less libertarian market based & capitalistic - we’re generally less individualistic too, believing in community & social responsibility. Those divergences I think are largely cultural however as we view America as often too materialistic. Hegel is a good philosopher for it over here.
Nice video tho, liked and you’ve earned a sub.
Wow thank you!
BD Design Co.
To quickly continue my boy - conservative people & philosophers over here generally believe the way to achieve a utopian-esque society is to preserve the autonomy of the family (as a unit) not the individual - whilst still recognising the necessity of individual liberty in the eyes of the law
Tom Colsy yeah that sounds pretty inline with stuff that I read while researching for this video. It’s quite perplexing how warped and misrepresented conservative philosophy is in today’s society.
A hug reason for the polarization. Is because religion. One side have a unchanging belief and try to force there belief on not verry religious/atheist. Sadly religious freedom must be extended to all form of authority or you don't have it at all and conservatives do not want that.
@@sanctejohannesorapronobis8825 hay moran what about the freedom and liberty of the children. Children are not porperty, the reason you focus on the athortarian family unit because you want to indoctrinate them for political power.
I’m of the opinion you need both philosophies as liberal and conservative values can both be meaningful and necessary but society works best when they balance each other out rather than one or the other competing for absolute dominance. Yin and Yang, mother and father, night and day, so forth. I strive to hold a balance of both sets of values.
As someone who has read Burke and those who followed him like Russell Kirk, I strongly disagree with your second point. They taught that society isn’t the sum of atomized individuals like liberalism(including libertarianism) teaches. Rather it’s individuals existing in relationships to their families, to their communities and from a religious point of view to God. That’s why conservatives are against the view of liberty held by Locke and Mill. But as to the argument you make as crime being the fault of the individual, that is correct but not because conservatives don’t believe society exists but rather humans by nature are prone to act on impulse and selfish passions and thus need to have restraint
I actually prefer Locke's point of view to Burke's.
Thank you for correcting this issue. This is a huge misconception that even many conservatives fall into.
Conservatives wish to conservative the society from which they live. There’s nothing conservative about only caring about the individual and letting everyone else struggle. We have an obligation to care for all members of our culture
Amazing video this is one of the first things I've seen that even mentions Edmund Burke and the foundations of the conservative ideology I feel like the right understands the left position way more than the left understands the right
Not sure why this is so difficult for both the left and the right to understand. The individual is the fundamental unit of society, the building block, if you will, and society is the structure formed by amassing enough units together to the betterment of all. The foundational, philosophical differences of the left and right act as countermeasures to the more aggressive/regressive aspects of the other serving as a self regulating system to ensure that the appropriate changes necessary to evolve and adapt to requisite changes in society occur in controlled manner so that society doesn't erupt into chaos and so that stagnation doesn't give way to the social rot of rigid, unchanging blind adherence to ideas that have been shown to be antiquated or inappropriate for the times. Thanks for making the video. I hope more videos lime these are viewed by more people so that we can at least attempt to have some understanding of the position and reasoning of those with who we disagree politically.
i'm 70, grew up with conservative governments and labor ones in Uk, I could live with the old conservatives as they were relatively moderate however since the 80s ( thatcher and reagan ) conservatism has gone further and further to the right , and labor parties have followed suit , its rare to get a moderate conservative government anymore, we have one here in South Australia, they aren't too bad at all,but the hard right factions are not happy . The best place to be is somewhere in the middle and to be open to cooperation and consensus, but both sides of the spectrum just really don't want to do that much anymore.last time that occurred in may experience was during Bob Hawkes govt in the late 80s.
Good video..keep it up.
Eric Satie (background music) was the most radical non conformist person imaginable. He’s known for walking a lobster around Paris on a leash.
Wow beautiful! So accurate! Well done man.
Where's the rest of the series?
This video is excellent
Convert narcs, = Conservative philosophy. That why, i gave a reformation, declaration of Independence, from George Washington, farmhouse. Just a Republican or government, as self ownership. That put , things of attributes to my name, i have to clear up, cause some wanted to attach their children, ideas, and etc to my shai name.
It's going even more crazy but even if logical fallacies on any political or religious view...I expect history to repeat.
Take any ideology in the world, add a bunch of pride to it so the people will try to force everyone to follow their ideas against their will. That one thing can make anything bad and evil.
The moment I heard the expression "phenomenons," I knew you weren't going to "educate" me.
Ok I rather like keeping my values, but if bad would also recongize the need for radical change while still having the good parts of my values. Do conservatives believe all values should be retained, or that the and ones should be removed through process?
i think most conservatives believe certain values CAN be changed gradually through time but find that extremely unlikely for most traditional values, as they are traditional for a reason. (because they are based on unavoidable truths)
Did that video on liberalism ever happen?
After reviewing the comments, I would say I found the analysis mostly correct. I would say it lacks references to it's conclusions which do appear to be quite similar to left of center commentary. I wonder what Thomas Sowell would conclude?
@Solitaire then write your rebuttal make your own video otherwise you're just pointless noise.
@Solitaire you gave an opinion. You know what is said about opinion don't you?
This video only served to reinforce my belief that conservatives are resistant to change. They fail to recognize that tradition is peer pressure from the dead. Sure we need to have structure, but they fail to see that change is always happening and in most instances those changes are better for all people. Sure the ways of the past served the populous well in it's time. Though the newer changes work best for the current society. Cling to the bedrock of the past, but not so tightly you fail to see that they no longer serve the majority of our current society. We record history in order to not repeat societies mistakes in the past. Without change we will not evolve as a whole.
Based answer👌🍃
Is that Thelonius Monk? Who plays that beautiful background track?
Probably super late to comment on this but.... as a conservative, this was refreshing. Although, I would not go as far as to say that liberals should be compared to American revolutionaries, I don't think that those ideologies match up. I definitely can't picture the liberal men of America fighting for freedom. And the problem with bringing up slaves and people who lived in concentration camps, those are definitely not the same type of people that are living in America today who have those ideals and are pushing for "change". The poorest person in America is still living better than a wealthy person 100 years ago and the entitlement of people these days to act like they are oppressed in the same manner is just crazy to me. I'm pretty sure people in North Korea are trading children to different families so that they don't have to eat their own children, that's oppression. Modern claims of oppression in America are what makes it hard for me to respect modern leftist ideologies and the person who believes them.
I'm not going to argue or anything, but out of curiosity, where did you grow up? (small town, country, city, suburbs, etc.) I find that it wasn't until I was introduced people unlike the way I grew up was when I really started to understand where they were coming from.
Yeah, that’s pretty spot on to how I think politically.
Best used for explaining toilet paper use.. Some people like to use TP that has kittens on the bag and use a lot, and some like to see bunnies on it and use a little. Staring at furry animals is weird while we do this either way, let alone its damaging our earth/cultures with a little or a lot.
As a paleoconservative, I would recommend to you Michael Knowles or John Doyle, with whom I agree the most on the issues.
In my dialectical understanding of conservativism is preservation of traditional values, the Rule of a few, and the preservation of order. Many conservatives are collectivist and some are even anti-capitalist, in a sense conservativism is a means to a social end.

Nice video. My thoughts on the resistance to change criticism... I can only speak on behalf of my personal beliefs (I am a Conservative), but I am smart enough to understand that revolutions throughout history are inevitable and necessary. François-René de Chateaubriand in 1818 used "Conservative" in his own context and so I don't believe his personal resistance to revolutionary change is a good blanket for how every modern American conservative feels. For example, I don't believe slavery is moral. If it took a revolution to correct that wrong, I would be supportive of it. I believe in a moral right and wrong, or Universal truth of some sort (which I think is a core belief for Conservatives), so any resistance to change would be waved if it meant doing the right thing. I think a lot of conservatives would be willing to change if it meant going in a positive direction. It's the direction and means of achieving that conservatives butt heads with others on, which stifles the progress and perhaps gives the illusion of stubbornness.
Conservative here, too. I'd refine your point by saying that Progressives / Leftists have a moral code, as do we. What we view as moral differs from what Progressives view as moral, and that is why our political divide is so strong. To keep a sense of national unity, it's important to keep the laws politically-neutral. The greater the imbalance either way, the more likely the disenfranchised group - either one - will respond with some form of rebellion. As a Conservative, I've been trying to figure out how our people could respond, because a lot of American Progressive policies have been harmful to us Conservatives (in the US). I think I now know a suitable nonviolent response, although it would take cooperation among Conservatives as well as time to implement. But, if voting works for now, great. = )

I wish Conservatives in 2020 were more like Mitt Romney and John McCain and less like Donald Trump.
0 wars the lowest unemployment rate in america since the 30s the billions invested in predominantly black and hispanic communities the billions given to people with disabilities the lowering of sentences of non violent crime and releasing 3 thousand inmates who were in prison on non violent charges 90% of which were black straight away the 20 times he has condemned white supremacy reversing the damage obama made and making peace in the middle east lowering of taxes so people can spend there own money and not have to struggle to get food and reversing obama’s border policies but lets be less like him
@Srim 1 oh so we can just ignore the now highest unemployment rate since the 30s due to his negligence surrounding the pathogen he tried to pretend wasn’t real for months. Cool cool.
Also no wars literally means nothing. Not like he resolved any wars either.
So neocons you are a fucking tool
Neither Mitt Romney nor John McCain were conservative in any sense of the word. McCain had a 50% rating from the ACU, one of the lowest of any Republican. He might as well have been a Democrat.
Frankly Donald Trump was the best candidate we could've gotten over a sea of career politicians that don't care about the people. He did some amazing things until covid created heavy problems for him, but I mean he still made peace with North Korea, Russia, and almost achieved full peace in the Middle East.

How do we blend the two so that we can prosperity to society. Seems folks have a lot to say but...
Naivete and idealism versus logic and pragmatism. There. That, to me, is the political spectrum in a nutshell.
I’m a bit late but I am a conservative in America and u are spot on
People confuse liberalism with more left leaning politics and they frankly could not be more different I am an anarcho individualist and I wish to study anarcho communism as an alternative to capitalism but honestly the democratic and republican party both suck they are broken and our democracy dosent work because our bipartisanship makes it so no progress is made and only the interest s of major corporations and the ultra wealth y are represented it is sad. People say I am un american but I love my country so much that I'm willing to fight for change to make all of our lives better
Even if your ideas are different than mine. I just have a different idea on how to get there. I talk to conservatives all the time and point out that even though we are both on extreme different sides of our spectrum we have more in common than fox news would leave you to believe. Encourage discourse. Peace yall
I'm conservative. I agree
You did pretty well up to the end. I also noted that conservatives have strong feelings for individual rights and freely and eagerly engage in society in many forms.
You got the last part backward just like many other liberals today. Jim Crow laws were written by democrats. Democrats headed the KKK for 100 years. It was Republicans (conservatives) that passed the 14th and 15th amendments with scattered help from a few northern democrats. Look at the vote count by each political party.
It was a conservative, President Eisenhower, who integrated the schools and pushed Congress to pass civil rights legislation. Finally, Lyndon Johnson figured out to offer welfare benefits and pass the civil rights acts because he had more control over the democrats. He guessed the giveaways would tie the recipients to the Democratic party for 200 years. See the quote attributed to him when he signed the bill. Conservatives were always and are still for equality.
You sir just gave a breath of fresh air.
Please don’t spread half truths and misinformation like this. The Democrats you speak of heading the KKK for 100 years was before political realignment. The Democrats at that time alight with current republicans(conservatives) ideals. The philosophies of each party flipped in the mid 20th century. This is easy to look up and verify.
@@ngouhboy I believe nothing of what I hear and only have of what i see. Democrats and Republicans are best friend parties. They work together to undermine the general population with illusion of choice. I still lean Republicans because Trump got majority of the minority population vote for him. Democrats try and be inclusive and diverse but yet trump did better on that? Weird considering everyone considering him a racist...

I definitely see the two sides of the system as divisive, yet the true power is held by corporations, banks and the ultra rich, many of whose names are never spoken. True power today is held by those outside of political offices.
Delusional much?
It is neither, there is a spectrum of beliefs within conservatism, you can be an environmentalist conservative, far right conservative, etc. I for example am a center conservative man.
Conservativies believe they should be able too keep what they take and fair as long as it's fair for themselves 🤦🏽♂️
I asked a staunch conservative white guy buddy of mine, So if you had been born black and from the ghetto with absolutely no generational wealth do you think you would think the exact same beliefs ?
He's actually pretty honest only reason why hes my buddy and actually thought for a second and said no he don't believe that he would have the same beliefs.
It's always the same thing when you're young and if you come from poverty you have more liberal mindset and then if you happen to get successful you jump on the conservative bandwagon because they're taxing you to death.
Just being young in general it's human nature to rebel a bit against structure and discipline but usually if you have any conservative influence it'll come shining through with age ....... And in the Trump era I've seen conservative roots come through enraged to the point of delusional 🤦🏽♂️

Another reason I believe driving the polarization which doesn’t have anything to do with this video really is neither sides supporters even recognize when they’ve won some thing. Most the conservatives in America believe the country is falling into liberal Socialism despite the evidence that it is not and the liberals believe we are in an era of authoritarian conservativism which isn’t completely true but the conservatives have been stacking W‘s recently conservatives don’t seem to acknowledge as wins
"Indeed, it is easier for camel to go through the eye of a needle than for someone who is rich to enter the kingdom of God."
Luke 18:25
What’s the conservatives attitude towards poverty?
They think it's part of the order of things, and that poor people are probably just lazy. Conservatives don't understand reality.
If the systems in place are exploitative with the intent to consolidate wealth to those with excess, “change yourself” or “fall in line” doesn’t seem to be an adequate response to me. If a system is designed with flaws, it’s ok to adjust.
Innovation isn’t profitable, it’s risky. Competition isn’t profitable, but both are important aspects to a strong economy. Consolidation of economic power away from the individual and into the corporate space doesn’t provide strength, it induces minimalist practices, monopolization, and rampant privatization of every aspect of our lives. If we judge things based on the systems we are living in to be “natural”, despite them being socially adopted ideas, we lose sight of ideals and become complacent with ever disparaging circumstances.
As Americans, it is our duty to question our government. It is our duty to objectively look at our society and ask if our trajectory is one that we are willing to live with.
hello random viewer. In this dark world, i just thought i'd let you know that God loves you and that you should also always love yourself
Uses the only black cartoon character for the guy who commit crimes.
I think conservative values are simple. Individual freedom for all, not based on race, religion or gender or whatever else you may dream up, my right to freedom doesn't impose an obligation on anyone except to permit me to live my life without harm to others and supporting others same rights. Don't bother me and I don't bother you, bother meaning infringe my freedoms. Along with those freedoms comes responsibility, conservative values includes social responsibility, treat everyone the same, do not impose your beliefs on others, your own values can't impede someone else's. My/our right to protect myself, family and property means I must value the same for all others but I must be responsible for my actions with said protection (gun, knife, etc). Abortion is not supported because it imposes death on a human, a defenseless human that has the same value and rights as anyone else. I would choose to teach sexual restraint or protection, of course accidents will happen and I would prefer to choose life rather than death for that person. These are some simple examples that become political for power rather than to make society better. Conservative doesn't mean anti-progressive, it means move slowly and cautiously into the future while protecting these values for all.
They haven't been doing thay for a while. Delusional peices of shit
@@edgaraf9411 cry
The solution to the second criticism you express of conservatism is their typically strong religious backgrounds. These two are usually inseparable. Conservatives as a rule believe individuals in society acting alone or in groups should help those less fortunate or otherwise unable to help themselves. Liberals as a rule expect government to do this. That's the biggest difference. Conservatives want to do it themselves or through private groups like churches.
You are 100% correct. I am conservative. We believe that social conditions are never an excuse for crime.
last time i remember conservatives helping out those less fortunate is when they raised a ridiculous amount of money for the kenosha shooter... shame
The "kenosha shooter" acted in clear self defence. Are we to understand that you view the idea of self defense as immoral?

@@watcherwlc53 link what?
Yea I agree, it makes conservatives looks way better than they actually are.
After watching this video this further solidifies my negative belief about conservatives
Honestly conservative or democratic or liberal... the groups are all hyprocritical in some way or another and they all lean one way to an extreme.. society, culture, and the world is too complicated to live with a one way mindset. I think when you create groups it divides us, so i dont like political groups anyway. I know it might seem like an easy out but i am truly and independent. I cannot fully agree with any group or agree that grouping is a good idea. I think having people together creates strengths withing the group overall. When everybody is divided not as much progress can be made because everybody is finger pointing instead of working together to solve the issues. Just imo.
Conservative ≈ "That's how we did it 50 years ago and it worked for me and my friends - why change something that works for us?"
About right?!
Anything new is bad. Any consideration of other people is bad. You're either a winner or loser - no in between.
That's how Conservatives think.
Looked up videos like these during the 2020 election. Trying to figure out how half of the population is still bent into trying to make The Handmaid's Tale happen
Because no viable alternative is offered. Very few people are actually "enthused" about Biden. Lots of people are glad that Biden beat Trump, but they would be just as glad if Trump had been beaten by any other politician.
Not true. Conservatives in general aren't trying to make the handmaid's tale happen. This Handmaid's tale thing about conservatives is just left wing propaganda. Trying to blame everything about the patriarchy. Keep spewing your liberal nonsense

@@jonjonboi3701 like... after the insurrection AND with whats going on today... i hope you and everybody who upvoted you fucking realizes how dumb youl ook.
I think where a lot of the modern polarization comes from is the contradictions and hypocrisy from both sides. Conservatives right now won’t hesitate to look at the history of another country and use it call as a talking point to gain momentum behind preventing change while ignoring The lessons of our own history. Another is one of their values being imperfection however they prevent small changes under the distraction that that change won’t fix everything. Not being able to fix everything about one problem has become an excuse to do nothing. These are just off the top of my head examples I can think of plenty. I can think of plenty for liberalism also but that wasn’t what this video is about
Basically it's like...
conservatives: "notice me free market senpai!"
liberals: "notice me governmental institutions senpai!"
I realize that it's difficult to understand, but both conservatives and liberals operate out of liberalism.
But conservatives will deny to the very end that they are liberals.
For most of history, a political conservative meant someone who believed in the idea of a ruling class, whether that class was royal/noble, such as in a monarchy/aristocracy, or in a ruling minority, such as in an oligarchy. In other words, being a political conservative meant being anti-democratic.
But conservatives ran into a problem in the late 20th century as democracy became the dominant form of government in the majority of the developed world. Suddenly, being anti-democratic became politically untenable, so conservatives had to re-brand themselves. That's why today conservatives talk, instead, about being for "freedom" and "small government" and "traditional values". This is all coded language for the traditional conservative belief in a ruling class. Conservatives _say_ they are pro-democracy, but their _actions_ say that they are still anti-democratic at their core.
nailed it
Yeah totally nailed it. For just about every right or freedom that anybody ever gained, the conservatives of thier day were there trying to stop them from getting it.
You are an ignorant person who clearly doesn't know or doesn't understand what is the real meaning of conservatism, you are using the same fallacies all leftist in America use to describe what they don't like, y'all label everything into categories related to hate, "anti-rights", racist and all that stuff y'all like to say, you probably haven't read anything related to conservative philosophy, I suggest that instead of commenting and projecting pure ignorance, you should read a book that could be an introduction to the conservative thinking, it's called "How to be a conservative" by the great Sir Roger Scruton, where he approaches this subject with caution and presents the core principles of a conservative person, so as to shed some light on the subject.
These are 3 important points that I consider Scruton tries to clarify in this book.
1) The conservative philosophy implies constructing a state from below up:
A true conservative person believes in a society built from the bottom up, from its people to their representatives. A healthy society is defined by its people and follows the will of the majority. Unfortunately, many states fail to understand and implement these principles. This was also the case of communist Czechoslovakia or even the UK under Margaret Thatcher.
The ideology of a party is not the main aspect people should focus on. Instead, the focus should be on how they plan on implementing it. Throughout history, societies have fallen prey to all sorts of regimes. As such, people have started to shift towards absolute democracy with no intention of looking back. The problem with this sudden shift is that they leave behind what’s important: their legacy, history, and values.
For this reason, conservators are trying to preserve these cultural ideas. While still being pro-development, one can also be pro-preservation of the nation’s values and principles. Moreover, without a moral compass and a history, society is easier to divide and conquer. That’s because there’s nothing to stick people together under a common purpose.
There’s no point in rushing to bring the future closer by leaving the past behind. As such, an ideal society has representatives that offer extreme care and consideration towards the families, the traditions, the history of that society, and other similar aspects. Moreover, the elected officials ought to work to preserve these. Doing so will build a better, more developed society having such implications in mind.
2) A true conservative society is also democratic and works to keep its institutions open and accessible to all the people:
One of the many unfortunate implications of communism is the nationalization of all institutions, businesses, and all other entities. Having the idea of the greater good and a centralized administration to serve all people equally, this practice has brought people tremendous misfortune during the twentieth century. Not only is this philosophy utopic, but so much power in the hands of a few can prove to be dangerous.
Scruton learned this first-hand during his experiences in the communist states. He saw that private clubs and schools were closing due to the fact that they were providing “unfair” opportunities and access to networks to those who were privileged enough to join them. The entire approach was wrong. The solution is to make them more accessible to the masses. Thus, giving more people opportunities to seize and chances to succeed.
Moreover, by shutting them down, a state is only forcing the privileged to find loopholes to fulfill their wishes. They can still buy houses in the catchment area with great schools. This, in turn, divides people to a high extent. Therefore, allowing people to form their own societal layers and institutions is another trait of a healthy society promoted by conservators.
3) Being a nationalist means being fond of your country, not following it blindly to mass destruction:
Nowadays, people associate the word nationalism with the atrocities of the twentieth century. And for a reason! Just think about all the destruction and harm done in the name of nationalism. A primary example is extreme antisemitism displayed in policies and practices that almost wiped all Jewish people off the earth.
However, being a nationalist used to mean something different. And that is what conservators today are aiming for today. Essentially, it is about the way one person feels about their country, the people they coexist with, and overall a family-like sentiment associated with one’s nation. If you look at the bigger picture, a nation resembles a family from many points of view.
For example, There’s a lot of fighting between parties. However, everyone will eventually look for a solution that works for the family or the nation in this matter. Similar to a family, a nation has a shared identity and the members have a sense of belongingness to their country of origin. This sentiment is hard to shake off. No matter where you go, you can’t forget your family. Because you grew up with it, just like you did with your country and its specific culture.
Perhaps this is the reason why people look for the food they grew up with even if they moved someplace else. Or anything else that can give them back that feeling of belonging. Acknowledging this shared identity is what makes a person nationalist. And this is the philosophy that conservators are trying to spread around.
Everything you've said is false and uninformed. Basically, opinions like yours are based in a logical fallacy known as "equivocation." This is when two completely different things are referred to by the same name in order to create confusion. The problem is, you're using the same word ("conservatism") to refer to two completely different belief systems - EUROPEAN conservatism and AMERICAN conservatism.
Here's an easy way to make the difference obvious. Ask yourself, historically, what were these two groups desiring to "conserve"? Did they have the same goals? or different goals? Answer: Their goals were completely different. In fact, they were literally the opposite of each other.
European conservatism is the type that favors a ruling class. Why? Because historically, Europe was entirely ruled by MONARCHIES. So the conservative factions in Europe have always tended to favor a system closer to monarchy, which values a ruling class at the expense of some equality and freedom.
American conservatism is completely the opposite. America never had a monarchy. In fact, America gained its independence by fighting a war AGAINST a monarchy!! Equality and freedom (though not always fully practiced) were core values incorporated into the founding documents of America. THOSE IDEALS of freedom and equality are what American conservatives desire to conserve. American conservatives do not - by any stretch - want a ruling class!! In fact, they're deeply opposed to any type of ruling class. This is why they're for SMALL GOVERNMENT. Does that phrase ring a bell??
If you want to honestly understand American conservatism, don't get your information from its enemies. Read books from actual American conservatives.
Note: Donald Trump is NOT a conservative and he never was. He's a populist. (And also a jackass.)
I feel I am conservative but I also feel strong towards human rights, so what am I?
I am conservative and care about human rights
I've watched until 5:00. I deem myself conservative but I see myself rejected by this depiction at all
The allies vs axis was a very conservative move. Oneself has to heed the call to help the oppressed individual. A concentration camp is a concentration of oppressed individuals. The colonists realizing their own oppression and wanting to conserve the inalienable rights of men which are taught in the Bible made very conservative moves. The individual has a call to be a good neighbor to all individuals. A Christian conservative has a call to tell the gospel of Jesus Christ to all the world. All have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God. All, every individual. Conservatives are not lacking in understanding plurality or society but ultimately everyone stands alone before God. John 3:16-21, 1John1:8-10
One good way in understanding yoir political opponent, is to listen to them explain it themselves. Mainstream media has a way of misrepreaenting the other side.
