>>905975i don't think conservatism == self reliance
>Conservatism as a political and social philosophy promotes retaining traditional social institutions in the context of culture and civilization.yeah well that's all there is to it, and when you look at how both liberal conservatism and conservative liberalism exists you realize it's not even the opposite of liberal views or anything.
my personal beliefs are a total shitshow mix of the two "sides" and probably most people are like that. even tho i only took very strong stances on every question it became a weirdly nondescript result. and that is mainly the result of the mess the political parties make of their values and each others because i was pretty consistent.
