I Now Truly Understand Conservative Ideology

[DanieRains]

It is simple.

"Everybody dies but me".

Not that hard to understand now is it?

1. Essentially that sums it up rather well

there are a few variations on the theme and nuances such as "We get all the money and you fight over the scraps" or "I worked hard for what I got, you should too" or "pull yourself up by your bootstraps" , but you have the gist of their ideology.

2. I Figured It Out Thinking Of How They Treat Greta

As she tries to wake the soon to be dead.

4. "Everybody dies but me..."

"And they die broke and broken."

5. Simplistic

And condescending.

[Girard442]

6. They want the country to be another Haiti.

A handful of morally repugnant elites ruling a mass of people too desperately poor to look beyond struggling to get through each day.

8. pretty much. the tension between being a social animal and being an individual

9. I once posed the question of what it was that conservatives were trying to conserve?

Essentially, what I came out with was:

1) Wealth for the wealthy;
2) Power for the powerful;
3) Comfort for the comfortable;
4) Poverty for the poor;
5) Affliction for the afflicted.
