I don't know about that. In my experience, the average liberal is actually less tolerant than the average conservative. With this, they see any tolerance of conservatism to be intolerable and will do whatever it takes to quash it.
I know who all of you are talking about. I just want to address the thinly-veiled accusations which have been expressed here.
Intolerant of conservatism? What does that even mean?
I've already made it very clear that I don't consider guns to be inherently bad. I don't consider Christianity to be inherently bad.
Isn't that what conservatism is about? It's all about God and guns right?
I'm opposed to lies. It's possible to be a good Christian without lying about Islam.
Nationalistic mythology is full of lies too. America, Canada, Australia and Great Britain
all sided with Indonesia during the East Timor Genocide. It is morally reprehensible to ignore this fact. Also, ignoring the East Timor Genocide could be considered anti-Christian, because the people of East Timor are Christian. In fact, East Timor is statistically more Christian than the United States. 99.1% of Timorese people are Christian, compared to only 71% of Americans.
We should not pretend that the US military wants to liberate people. The US military has a long track record of killing innocent people (many of whom are devout Christians) and more innocent human beings will be killed if we submit to nationalistic mythology.
I have nothing against the traditional conservative lifestyle. If a woman wants to wear a dress and stay in the kitchen, I have no problem with that as long is
she is the one making that choice. I also have no problem with a man who wants to give up pornography and go to church every Sunday. When I was younger, I felt that Christianity had no value ... but then I watched some documentaries about the Byzantine Empire and now I get it. Christianity has historical significance. Plus, Jesus was good man who wanted the Roman emperors to stop being so mean.
From what I have seen, most of the conservatives on this site are
not all about morality, discipline and self-control. The conservatives here are all about the phrase "Why don't we just bomb the son of b*****s?" as well as the phrase "My country, right or wrong."
Am I opposed to self-discipline? Not at all ... as long as it isn't being imposed on other people. "Conservative values" should be a choice that individual people make. It should not be a "choice" that is imposed upon society by the upper class.
I am, however, opposed to senseless killing. I'm also opposed to the pseudohistory which reinforces senseless killing.
By the way, I have not turned this site into a "left-wing echo chamber". I've been to left-wing echo chambers before. People on those sites whine about "sexist video games" instead of stuff that happens in the real world. Not my style.
