However, Today's conservatives have become completely subservient to power/capital. They have abandoned the noble goals of their predecessors. They have in short become war mongers and fear mongers leaning towards hatred for immigrants, minorities, and even poor whites. I long for the days of the real classical conservatives....My beliefs have been hijacked.
Thank you.
Oddly, classical libertarians and conservatives have been replaced by "classical liberals" and "neoliberals."
And so it goes...
This tells us one thing. That politics is mostly a game played by the 1% to distort facts and confuse the 99%... It is the art of deception designed to wage war against the poor and middle class....
Agreed.
"Real conservatives and classical libertarians used to think about human progress,poverty, environment, and war.... " Yes, and why didn't it work? If you're curious, the banking system is a good start.
