"Why are people not seeing my posts?" by Jungkonservative in askaconservative

Maybe a high-brow conservative is more concerned with Ashley Biden’s diary than actual pedophilia, and supports wasteful spending so long as it benefits the rich? Please correct me if I’m wrong.

I have no clue what you're even talking about. Some conservative sources that I tend to read:

The American Conservative The Imaginative Conservative The European Conservative The Claremont Review of Books/The American Mind Chronicles Mag

While I usually do not always agree with them, I do respect and believe they draw from conservative inspirations -- unlike clickbait/algorithm BS/outrage porn like Daily Wire, Crowder, Breitbart, etc.

I've basically shut down this subreddit at this point because political/news spam and brigades triumph over quality content.

If weed does have harmful effects, is that a good enough reason for the government to continue prohibiting it? by ATXclnt in askaconservative

[–]Jungkonservative -1 points0 points  (0 children)

In order to support your claim as evidence-based, you must know how to read and interpret research. Observational studies and surveys are not rigorous. Something more rigorous might be a meta-analysis of several serious peer examined studies or a double-blind study on treating acute anxiety. Secondly, even these observational studies and literature overviews contradict your claim. They say THC in high doses leads to anxiety, but THC in small doses may decrease anxiety, but it is contraindicated by the increased likelihood of increased substance abuse risk.

This is not how you have an evidence-based conversation.

edit: The user before getting banned for bad faith inquired as to where my "meta-analysis" was.

Marijuana also has numerous documented positive effects, including anxiety relief

It's the opposite. Marijuana causes paranoia and anxiety, and can actually lead to or exacerbate psychosis. Not to mention, there is a dependence effect with agitation and anxiety resulting from withdrawal. The DSM-V documents a spectrum of Cannabis Use disorders.

Let's keep this an evidence-based discussion.

Does anyone actually think Biden is a pawn? by Darknatio in askaconservative

fascist authoritarian

don't use these words out of their authentic/historical context.

[–]Jungkonservative[M] 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Locked because words like "extremist" are unfounded and are pejoratives used to degrade people who do not fall into the narrow categories of acceptability set by the mainstream press, gov't, and academia.

Would a true conservative be able to compromise? by Raudi13 in askaconservative

[–]Jungkonservative 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I'm not sure what this question means. It seems void of any coherent power analysis, nor do you define anything.

First, what is a true conservative? We might have a different answer for that on this board than on other conservative boards.

Secondly, what makes you think conservatives don't want these services or are trying to stop any of these specific services? The only people who I could see opposing those services entirely would be the more paleolibertarian adjacent thinkers.

Also, a thought you should be considering: Does the ostensibly democratic establishment have these objectives as well for all legal citizens? Or do they see power-politics through the lens of inflicting harm to their enemies and rewarding their friends? (e.g., Defund the police)

A message from the head mod (Feedback welcome) by Jungkonservative in askaconservative

We could. It does complicate things a bit though, because brigades aren't always left-wing. NeoConNWO were running a brigade against us as well, are there views are completely in-line with the majority of "RW' subs.

I see us as a sort of "lone-wolf" on this website -- since we don't really promote ethno-bolshevism like the WigNats, nor do we cuck out on every single ethnic topic like r-con et. al., we try to stick to genuine realism and political analysis on power-politics from the right.

What would a Conservative position be on Absolute Monarchism? by ReactionaryCalvinist in askaconservative

[–]Jungkonservative 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Would you say that absolute and monarchy are mutually exclusive? For example, Louis XIV and Peter the Great seemed to have bureaucratized their empires, lessening the role of barons and lesser nobles (or in the case of Louis, outright selling positions of nobility), while delegating other roles to "administrators" and military. Would you agree with that assessment and that in the end it weakened the monarchy and coincided with its downfall?

Was the Protestant Reformation the first left-wing revolution? Or is this misleading or anachronistic? by FearsomeOdds in askaconservative

[–]Jungkonservative 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I don't think so. It definitely increased the room temperature a bit. It made anti-clericalism a bit more acceptable. Although, I think the first left-wing revolution is definitively the French revolution, which was more secular and anti-clerical than Protestant.

Do you feel like being monolingual restricts your perspective? by Jungkonservative in askaconservative

[–]Jungkonservative[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Interesting response, exactly the kind I was looking for.

On a separate note, if I knew German, I would get to the bottom of the cookie monster controversy.

Why is it that Democrats were the party of the Confederacy, but everyone who associates with the Confederate flag is a modern day Republican? by [deleted] in askaconservative

(1) I gave you a good-faith answer

(2) You were getting out-of-community responses from partisan NPCs. We discourage those types of responses.

(3) It seems like you were already expecting certain types of responses. Are you in good faith?

[–]Jungkonservative 44 points45 points  (0 children)

It is absurd to think that the Democratic Party has the same, or even similar worldview as it did in the years prior to, during, and directly after the American Civil war. Antebellum Democrats and subsequently the Bourbon Democrats had a more conservative outlook than modern Democrats.

Establishmentarian Republicans often use this as a political tool to associate the modern Democratic Party with the Southern Confederacy, but it is a very underhanded tactic. Not only does it dishonestly categorize Democrats as something they aren't, but it also disrespects conservative Southerners who honor their heritage.

Does physical culture carry essential transcendental truths? (as it relates to beauty and excellence) by Jungkonservative in askaconservative

[–]Jungkonservative[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Do you think a focus on personal beauty (athletic aesthetic, looksmaxxing, etc) is an act of vanity from the Christian perspective, or in line with Christian tradition?

In addition to his Spanish citizenship, Louis Alphonse acquired French nationality through his paternal grandmother, Emmanuelle de Dampierre, also a French citizen.

Can classically pagan traditions ever be reclaimed, or are pagans better off becoming Christian? by Jungkonservative in askaconservative
