No. But it's unfortunate that 95% of them give the rest an unfair reputation.


Yes, 95%. :roll:

For what it's worth, I started off as a pro-monarchist conservative. Thankfully it didn't last.

No, my country never got rid of ours. I think there might have been a picture of her in the classroom, there was one in the library that I recall.

Basically pro-British Empire, pro-Anglosphere integration, pro-NATO, anti-socialist, mostly favourable to Sun Media editorials, etc. As a young kid your views aren't that developed but I had a far less cynical view of a lot of the things I've grown critical of, sometimes even positive views.

Ah, gotcha, though I would have been really curious if you'd been NRx, that's a truly odd ideology.

I've got mixed feelings about my own cynicism, I think it gives me a generally accurate view of the world, but it's kind of bleak sometimes believing that hardly anything or anyone is genuine. I think I depress my mother with it, she's gone through most of her life taking everything at face value, and is genuinely horrified when I point out the angles in business and politics both historically and currently, I feel bad doing it but can't seem to switch it off.

The one heart over head thing I can't seem to shake from my younger days is humanitarian interventionism; no matter how much I tell myself it can't and won't work, I still want to put our exquisitely trained killers and state of the art murderbots to work knocking over various corrupt and abusive states, it's right up there with the honor culture I don't know where I picked up.

There haven’t been violent protests recently.
History teaches us that what happened before WILL happen again. Not tomorrow, and not next week, but it WILL happen. And it'll be the Q guys protecting your cherished family-owned small business with their legal rifles from the violent arsonists. All while Cacala Harris's future counterpart pays their bail to help them terrorize our streets again.

I don’t need a Q guy to protect my home.
At my homes BLM protest there was only one armed person who planted themselves in front on the Christian bookstore.Like it was in danger of looting.What’s even funnier is that it’s the End Time Handmaidens of the Lord store and they hate guns.If someone had called them they would have run him off.
Too bad the store was closed that day or it would have been comical.If you work at their religious compound you have to sign a paper that you won’t bring guns on the property.
