Conservatives do exist here, there are plenty of people that actually believe Harris would have been a good president or that the US is capable of good actions.
I’ve even see people unironically support USAID and the NED. That kind of far-right bullshit is why some of us left reddit.
How is the US propaganda source that statistically only handles a partial clean up of US military and intelligence community actions ‘far right bullshit?’
If I come into your home, kill your pets, piss in your fridge, and mutilate your children, but then I pay someone to come in and give you some new food so I can print in the news paper that I am kindly and benevolently feeding a victim of a tragedy… am I the good guy?
No. I am attempting to generate positive propaganda to help people ignore the fact I caused the entire fucking situation to begin with.
There are no USAID projects that cannot directly be linked to a US military or intelligence operation. None. Not a single one.
Conservative ideology is about defining underclasses that have fewer or no rights. Sadly, that type of hierarchical thinking is present everywhere and probably in everyone to some degree or another.

If actual conservatives existed here I’d agree.

‘Conservative’ is conserving the old world. Conservatives in the 1800s wanted a return to feudalism as a reactionary backlash to liberalism.
Liberalism and liberal ideology has been the only ‘valid’ ideology for states for 2 centuries.
It is conservative to defend liberalism. It’s conservative to defend neoliberalism.
In order to be ‘progressive’ you have to at least be a ‘radical’ socialist that wants the abolition of capitalism.

So we’re not immune.
