Conservatism.
There are actually two conditions in the question, friendo
Well yea but when it comes to politics, nothing has only advantages. I just hate how this exact policy receives so much aggressive hate from liberals for not more reason than liberal policy has
You say this as if conservatives aren't aggressively hateful lol
People hate the hatred fueled by conservatism
I have only seen a lot of hateful liberals. That's why I said that. It was more of a rant. Seriously why are they so aggressive? They only make this world worse with their hatred. Though I'm sure there are aggressive conservatists too. I just haven't seen them yet
The hatred from conservatives that I'm referring to is through the legislation they pass that has IRL consequences and ruins people's lives
I'm not going to argue. I have a completely different opinion
It’s not subjective, it’s fact. You’re welcome to your own opinion, not your own reality.
Never heard any anti-trans rhetoric, or just agree with it? ‘Cause I see calling for a group to be eradicated from public life as generally making the world worse.
In other words, watch CPAC and try to remember that the things they say are about real people, and they pass legislation negatively affecting those real people.
I don't even think I'm a conservative. I don't follow any conservative speakers, leaders etc. And I respect different opinions. But hatred is always bad. I saw a ton of hateful and aggressive liberals that seemed to act aggressively towards any different opinion (not only conservative I think). That is always bad. If you like aggression, well, I'd suggest therapy
Where did you see it? I’ve seen a ton of stuff like that on social media, but social media amplifies awful takes and has a large population of people lacking perspectives. It doesn’t represent the real world all that well.
Speaking on aggression, there is a large contingent of people in this country who are actively hoping for a civil war and the opportunity to shoot their neighbors over opinions they don’t like or living lives they don’t approve of.
Yes I was talking about social media. I know they don't even remotely represent the whole population but the fact that liberals were the most aggressive remains the same. I hope in real life there are a lot of peaceful and kind people. And the USA have become aggressive in all possible ways recently so that was expected. Maybe that's one of the reasons to liberals' aggression too since they are mostly American afaik. Well hopefully it will all stop soon. People shouldn't be like that no matter their political views and preferences
It's pop politics. Pop politics and marketing is the enemy. Regardless of sides.
It's like the difference between real art and pop marketed art. Street rap and pop rap etc.
nothing has only advantages.
So there's some reasons to hate then? The question asks about things hated for absolutely no reason.
Yea I know. That comment was a rant. I just hate aggression like that
Why are we hated on for hating on folk???? It's so unfair!!!
It is not. It is actually what the word "fair" means. You get hate (a bad thing) for doing hate (a bad thing). Completely fair in my opinion. There's nothing wrong in critics though. Unfortunately every part of the US culture and government tries to distort it
My response was sarcastic reply to the person above me... I am very much not conservative
Yes, no. An ideology that celebrates killing minorities, women, and the queer community deserves all the hate it gets. The latest victim to your favorite ideology, Nex Benedict in the US and the entire Palestinian population vis-a-vis Netanyahu's conservative government. Conservatism belongs exactly where it is in the public's eye. If not moreso.
Hmm I guess I meant a different kind of conservatism
Define it then, don’t have to be coy.
It was about legalization policies, not about economical stuff
Unfortunately they're associated with every horrible idea on earth so I don't know why they expect to be treated well.
Well yea I shouldn't have said it here. It's a controversial one. Hopefully I already explained the reason of me saying it in the replies
Who is hating on you for wanting to lower taxes?
Or are they hating on you for wanting to deregulate industries?
Or was it a different conservative view?
The conservative part of my views is more about not legalizing things that were not legalized previously (if they do tend to cause damage to people of course). Lol I can see that downvotes by every single USA citizen on Lemmy for that one. Maybe I can explain further if needed but later. I think taxation is important and can be kept high if needed. The government probably shouldn't regulate the industry much but the opposite situation has its advantages as well (EU government nailed that). Private life should always stay private though + mass surveillance is a huge waste of resources that is not good in any perspective. I don't identify myself as a conservative in the traditional meaning of this world. I have my own views
Nah, that's justified
Like many things, I get the ideology and theory, but I don't understand it in practice. Which basically goes for all politics.
Basically they all require force to realistically attain because chaos rules reality and you cant fuck with chaos and the laws of universe or else bad stuff happens. Maybe things could change later on if humanity makes it that far... But we are nowhere near that.
Politics is hard in practice. There are always going to be factors that'll make ideas hard or even impossible to implement (any ideas, not only conservative)
It's also changing constantly which people don't like to admit. People want something secure but life will never be secure.
