As the National Book Awards came to a close on Wednesday, finalists for the prestigious literary prizes took the stage in New York to speak about the Israel-Hamas war, with others at the ceremony also choosing to address banned books.

    Thank you for reminding us that every word uttered by a conservative is deception or manipulation.

    Nearly every hate crime, act of oppression and act of bigotry ever committed in the U.S. has been committed by conservatives. We should be teaching children why it is immoral to conduct business with or keep relationships with conservatives.

        I’m not insinuating that you are a conservative. I’m calling you out for espousing a very conservative position. Supporting conservative positions is a pretty conservative thing to do. You should not pretend to be so surprised that someone has called you a conservative.

        And, like most conservative positions, the one you chose to support is harmful to vulnerable people, intentionally hateful and toxic as fuck. You chose to defend an evil position using deception. I didn’t do that. You did that.

        I’m glad you would find being called conservative offensive. Being called a conservative should always be taken as an insult.

            Happens every day. People call me conservative, liberal, Nazi, Tankie, etc.

            Strange. That doesn’t happen to normal people. Maybe try not espousing hateful, deceptive conservative positions. Hope that helps.
