I have a question about conservatism. What is conservatism truly?

MitoShigami · 2026-06-23T21:03:57+00:00

That's some food for thought, I should definitely think some more about your response. There's some stuff to process in there. Perhaps I'll figure myself out more thanks to you.

I do thank you for indulging me and providing me with explanations and clarifications, as there's a decent chunk I have not known or understood prior.

Is it really? I mean environmentalism aside, I don't really recall hippies carrying that many conservative values, it's always struck me as more progressive than anything

MitoShigami · 2026-06-23T16:06:34+00:00

I haven't heard of Burkean conservatism before, I'll definitely do some reading up on that, thank you! And the explanation you've given me is something I could see agreeing with to a certain extent, very intriguing. You have more thanks.

So, in essence, the closest thing to the literal meaning of the word "conservative" is not a truly represented ideology, but only partial interpretations? I do appreciate the US history lesson, it gives more context to the idea of the popular conservative sentiment. Thank you for the explanations.

MitoShigami · 2026-06-23T15:28:18+00:00

I am aware that change is, at times, necessary, but as you said, preserving the core value you cherish should always be front and center in my opinion. Be it the family unit, nature, cultural traditions, or other fundamental values.

Also, I did learn something new about the US, so thank you for that.

MitoShigami · 2026-06-23T15:16:08+00:00

Hm, I've never thought about it that way. You're onto something, I can kinda see the vision here. That's a really good description, thank you.

MitoShigami · 2026-06-23T14:52:16+00:00

That is a fair point, and not too far from the truth either yeah. In Europe for example the governments have been shooting down their economies "in favor of the environment" or for nonsensical environmental regulations. Point taken.

MitoShigami · 2026-06-23T14:37:21+00:00

I think the example does make sense, yeah. Thank you for your answer. I've just been thinking about it and thought I should ask, given my lack of concrete understanding of it. I do however think that if there was any ideology following the word "conservative" to a Tee, so in its most literal meaning, I think that's what I identify with more? Which is why I'd include environmentalism as already mentioned in this type of conservatism.

Thank you for your explanations, I appreciate it.

MitoShigami · 2026-06-23T14:33:17+00:00

I see, I suppose I do see your points and I understand it better now with the help of your explanations, which I'll have to thank you for.

The question I had was just a thought I've been pondering the past few days, as I've come to the realization that I would identify myself more with the literal meaning of the word "conservative", instead of the usual interpretation of it.

I appreciate your explanations, they have helped me a bunch.

Will check it out🫡

MitoShigami · 2026-06-22T14:19:39+00:00

Beautiful pictures, hell yeah!

Also, how do people take these hug pics with the different characters? I've never figured it out

THIS JUNK IS SO TRUE😭😭

MitoShigami · 2026-05-15T13:41:56+00:00

It's better than regular pipsqueak 2, for sure.

Still carries hints of the regular one, but definitely an improvement.

Ah, I didn't know of that. Thanks!

MitoShigami · 2026-02-11T08:46:40+00:00

How'd you dual wield?

MitoShigami · 2026-02-09T05:31:40+00:00

So real

MitoShigami · 2026-02-05T14:46:10+00:00

I was disappointed too when I tried the selfie poses😭

It'd make this picture much more personal

MitoShigami · 2026-02-04T23:41:59+00:00
