Comment on Request to mod c/conservative
remon@ani.social 1 day agoTo be a conservative is to be tolerant of fascists and Neo-Nazis to some degree
That is unfortunatly the truth for a lot of conservative parties around the world these days, but I don’t agree that one personally has to do that to be a conservative. So I really disagree with that sentiment.
However I do agree that it is a very tricky situation indeed.

I’m not so sure. I think there are conservatives who truly believe themselves to be intolerant of fascists and bigots but, first and foremost, they are not representative of conservatives as a whole and therefore may not be best suited to represent and moderate a community of conservatives, and secondly, I’m reminded of the German saying about Nazis at the table. If there is a table of ten people and a Nazi sits down with them and no one leaves, there are 11 Nazis at the table.
