Is it Nature or Nurture?

No one ever asks the question, "are conservatives actually good for society?" Well, I do. And I think they're not. I think they're just bad people. I don't think we need them. I think all of society would be better off without conservatives.

Conservatism is just a hate cult. They just hate everyone who isn't a clone of them. That might sound a little crass and reductionist, but is it wrong?

I think we have a real conservative problem in America and the rest of the world. No one is talking about the conservative problem. We need to start talking about the conservative problem. There is a conservative problem.

Homophobia, transphobia, racism, sexism, and hateful bigotry is not an "opinion" that people can hold. The intended outcome of bigotry is to hurt a bunch of people who have done nothing wrong.

We have to come to terms with the fact that conservatism is not good for society at large. In order to maintain a civil society, we have to stop tolerating conservative intolerance.

My wife and I were talking about this over dinner. She wondered how old these different ways of seeing this actually was.

We talked about early humans... the progressive ones say "Yes! Let's eat these unfamiliar berries, and the conservative ones say "No...I'm a little skeptical. I've never seen these berries before."

Or the progressive ones say "We've never gone over that mountain back there... Let's go and see what there is."

And the conservatives say "It's probably something terrible. I've heard there were monsters..."

Well it isn't bad enough they try and sell off public lands and historical national park land but now they are messing with the section 106 laws so they can do more damage to historic places. You can be ISIS and destroy the history we see but its not gone from our minds and we will always talk about it.

What does everyone else think?
