Nobody hates those who oppose conservatism like other people who oppose conservatism. 🙄
It's more than that, progressive spaces are bound to have conflict due to the fact that progressiveness is way more abstract than conservativism. Conservativism is about not having change, about things staying as they are, no progress. Progresivism however, you can be moderately progressive, very progressive, radically progressive... You also can be progressive in some aspects but not so much in others, yet you identify as a progressive.
Conservativism champions homogeneity, progressiveness champions diversity. In a diverse environment there are bound to be disagreements.
It is what it is, we just need to be better and reach agreements. All the time.
great response
It’s Gulag for everybody who doesn’t win. You can’t blame lefties for not cooperating. It’s still unfortunate.
Y'all have just made an enemy for life
