Conservatism

(synonyms would include: bigotry, prejudice, discrimination)

Conservatism is a political worldview defined by a broad category of ideas either implicitly or explicitly believing that people should be discriminated against because of their race, gender identity, pronouns, sexual identity, or anything else regarding their identity that does not harm others; that some humans based on some aspect of themselves that they were born with or identify as, or some physical, sexual, or personal pleasure they happen to have can be "lesser" humans than other humans whom they would consider "pure", and therefore that these "subhumans" should be persecuted due to their identity being viewed as "lower" than the identity of someone else a given conservative views as "pure".

At the root of all forms of conservatism would be the belief in subhuman identities; this is the defining factor that makes one a 'conservative', that the identities of different beings are to be divided into a hierarchy of purity, which has a wide range of translations in practice.

Conservatism is one of two all-encapsulating mutually exclusive worldviews existing in a binary, the other being progressivism.

Conservatism variations by consistency

Inconsistent Conservatism

Inconsistent conservatism consists of any conservative standpoint in an ideology that is simultaneously held with a standpoint that, if not for the aforementioned conservative standpoint being there, would be considered progressive. The aforementioned conservative standpoint being held cancels out the progressive one, thus rendering the standpoint to be inconsistently conservative. Inconsistent conservative standpoints have yet to be taken to their logical conclusion, and tend to translate in practice to reformist ideologies that seek what they describe as "equal rights", despite using conservative methods in an attempt to implement these rights, with the rights themselves tending to be predicated on a faulty notion that itself requires conservatism (i.e., advocating gay 'adoption' under the pretense that giving gay people the ability to 'adopt' is making society more equal, while failing to account that the very concept of adoption is predicated on the slavery dynamics of the family institution).
Examples of inconsistent conservative ideologies would include social democracy, liberalism, neoclassical liberalism, non-anarchist libertarian socialism, and minarchism.

Consistent Conservatism

Consistent conservatism consists of any conservative standpoint in an ideology that is taken to its logical conclusion of the advocacy of genocide and/or slavery of identity groups, typically under the motive of performing an identity "cleansing" of those they are viewing as 'subhuman' to achieve a society in which only those with identities the given conservative has decided are 'pure' remain.
Examples of consistent conservative ideologies would include Italian fascism, nazism, state socialism (colloquially, "tankieism"), American confederatism, national bolshevism, and Pinochetism.

Conservatism variations by attachment

Empirical Conservatism

Empirical conservatism consists of any concept in which by coincidence its vast majority of time in practice or its vast majority of followers happen to be conservative. Empirically conservative concepts are only conservative insofar as this conditional remains, with the defining characteristic of empirically conservative concepts being that they can switch from conservatism to progressivism; nothing locks them in either condition, as they are only conservative as of right now as determined by an empirical examination of their subjective time and place.
Examples of empirically conservative concepts would include traditions, religion, and anti-pleasurism.

Intrinsic Conservatism

Intrinsic conservatism consists of any concept impossible to seperate from conservatism as it is connected to conservatism to such an extent that its very root is a subset of conservatism; intrinsically conservative concepts are themselves forms of conservatism and would cease to exist if the conservatism was removed from them, as they require conservatism in order to exist in the first place.
Examples of intrinsically conservative concepts would include racism, transmisogyny, homophobia, transphobia, ageism, ableism, patriarchy, nationalism, the family institution, and the state.

The Conservative Mindset

The conservative mindset is a mindset believing that the existence and forms of conservatism are not to be actively opposed and that the existence of conservatism should be an accepted phenomenon within society. The conservative mindset is a phenomenon with varying degrees of consistency, as it is held both by consistent conservatives who proudly proclaim that what conservatism advocates is a good thing, and by inconsistent conservatives as well as self-identified "centrists" who hold a bare minimum opposition to consistent conservatism, but either unknowingly or by deliberate intention seek to combat it using the very institutions that conservatism perpetuates to begin with. The conservative mindset maintains all forms of conservatism, as it is only through its continued existence that conservatism can continue in being.

Common misconceptions

"Liberalism vs Conservatism"

There is a common fallacy that liberalism is the ideology that is actually what truly opposes conservatism in the binary. However, this can be shown to not at all be the case by an observation of what liberalism supports, tending to consist of a conservative "social contract" theory doctrine which binds all beings to be forced under the rule of the state, which also should continue to exist according to the liberal viewpoint. Liberals also tend to support conservative structures for education and marriage, in that these are coercive and binding as opposed to VSRs, along with support for the slavery that is the family institution. Liberals also tend to fail to distance themselves from the gender binary, falling short at the inconsistent ideal of 'gender equality' as opposed to the advocacy of the acceleration of gender towards its ultimate abolition, when liberals bother to talk about gender at all. Liberalism can in fact be shown to not be the antidote to conservatism because of this, being merely an inconsistent conservative ideology in itself.

"Conserving" "traditional values"/the "status quo"

There is a common fallacy that "conservatism" somehow has something to do with conservation, with proponents of this fallacy most typically citing "traditional values" and/or the "status quo" as what they believe is being "conserved". However, conservatism does not have anything to do with either of these, nor does it have to do with "conserving" anything at all, as no objectivity can be found in the use of "status quo" or "traditional values" as part of the definition. The only semblance of truth to them being associated with conservatism at all is that they are both empirically conservative. But it is that exact reason- that they are only empirically conservative, why they can't be part of the definition. Traditions are empirically conservative because it just so happens to be that all of human history has been filled with far more examples of conservatism in practice than progressivism; consistent conservative societies have existed numerous times in many places, compared to very few consistent progressive ones, if any at all. This same reasoning applies to the status quo; the status quo is conservative, but only as of right now. The thing making these not able to be included in the definition is the fact that it is entirely possible for both traditions and the status quo to switch to progressivism; if a progressive society were to be established, the status quo there would change from conservatism to progressivism, and eventually as it continues to exist over time, progressivism would eventually become a tradition there. Traditions and the status quo are entirely subjective based on the time and place- they are empirical statements rather than intrinsic connections, which is the reason they cannot have anything to do with the definition of "conservatism". Not only are they merely empirical statements however, but they're also commonly used by conservatives to try to create a smokescreen around conservatism in order to trick people into thinking that these empirical statements are somehow the definition, so that when they explain it to an unsuspecting apolitical, the apolitical is tricked into falling under the smokescreen and viewing conservatism as "not that bad if it just means 'traditions'", entirely unaware that the specific "traditions" conservatives support are the conservative ones: the genocidal, pro-slavery, discriminatory ones.

Reverse Conservatism

There is a common fallacy held by self-identified "centrists" of progressivism being reverse conservatism, which would mean merely the reverse of all the identities conservatism is viewing as subhuman; inconsistent conservatism turns the conservative purity hierarchy upside-down such that those most conservatives place at the bottom of the hierarchy are now suddenly at the top, and vice versa. Examples of reverse conservatism would include misandry and ageism specifically directed towards those who have far surpassed the existence time criteria set by the state for basic autonomy. What the 'centrists' are not acknowledging is that reverse conservatism is still conservatism, even if a relatively fringe and unorthodox version of it, while progressivism is the negation of all forms of conservatism entirely.
