I mean like this: “Realized that most of these programs are not meant to help anyone, merely to control people and make them dependent. I was forced to reconsider everything I’d once believed. I developed a profound distrust of government regardless of the philosophy of the people in power. I remained a liberal on civil-rights issues, became a conservative on defense, and a semi-libertarian on all other matters.” - Dean Koontz. Am I wrong?
I think most users on here lean left one way or another.
I’m a conservative and that’s not popular here at all.
I’d like an honest discussion. What opinions do you hold that are conservative, which me as liberal leaning would disagree with you on?
I’m anti-abortion in most cases, though I do see room for exceptions. I’m for a small government, though living in Australia I have seen that there is a place for the government to provide certain services that tend towards monopolies or that are vital to national security, like utilities, defense, etc. I don’t agree with how we currently approach transgenderism: I believe it’s a mental illness with devastating effects on its sufferers and that surgery and drugs are a blunt way to try and deal with it. I’m anti-immigration on a mass-scale, and I think allowing manufacturing to be decimated by globalism was a big mistake that we shouldn’t have allowed.
That’s just a few off the top of my head.
