Buddy, no one here is confused that conservatives represent nothing in particular but whatever is going get them power and profit. I began blacklisting libertarians after years of arguments with a few in RL. Now I’m blacklisting conservatives without arguing.
You’ll never convince a conservative they’re being a hypocrite, but you can arm as many reasonable people as possible with arguments they can use to convince their dumbass aunts, dads, cousins, and friends to show up and vote against evil. At least that’s my hope.
But it is also philosophically of interest to me that Strong Towns should be considered the very model of a modern Conservative political force while they are widely considered in pop culture to be WAY far left. The fact that being “conservative” today means having feelings-based political motivations and rejecting evidence-based approaches as its core precepts makes me tired and sad.
When I think about it, dirty socialist policies often have lower costs than “conservative” ones. For example housing people from the street is cheaper than having them live in encampments. Right to repair is cheaper than planned obsolescence. Cheaper for the majority that is. 🥲

Try reading what I wrote next time instead of just projecting all this hostility at me.
