^^^^^

tho this doesn't strike me as really all that...conservative

mine would probably be something something using social/gov't resources for conserving wilderness is a good thing something something

weird coalition of trump and ghost of rob ford high-fiving moral upper hands by endorsing locally sourced farm-to-table cocaine

guys just literally dont ever do cocaine unless you are comfortable with the fact that ppl's heads got cut off in order for you to talk too loud at a party about your stupid ideas

yeah but they were humans and have original sin, animals have no sin

that's speciesist https://forums.nexusmods.com/public/style_emoticons/dark/armscrossed.gif

Meritocracy is a fake dream and means testing matters

I don't know how to reconcile those ideas though

meritocracy is a funny fake idea like utopia and both mean nowhere

abortion makes me sad

i mean I think it should be legal for sure but it makes me sad and I think we should invest more in preventing it

I've been a part of enough lefty activist communities to have met like extreme pro-abortion fanatics and tbh they weird me out

lol, known more than a few ~comfortable radicals~ who have ranted about oppression or w/ever while high on cocaine. but yeah, don't think getting irked by that hypocrisy is a conservative stand point.

Pot is addictive and wrecks your motivation.

Vegetarianism "for ethical reasons" is ill-informed

Schools should administer discipline when necessary (though never ever physical/abusive)

concerts should never go past 11 pm

otm

government subsidized insurance should not pay for homeopathic bullshit

society should reintroduce the "moron" and "imbecile" classifications and people classified as such should not be allowed to vote

dang sarahell you are really going ~in~

I will probably enjoy long term capital gains tax if I ever have the opportunity to enjoy it.

Insurance should always be high deductible with the primary goal of preventing a life ruining financial disaster resulting from a mistake.

Concerts should never go past 10pm

A deck of playing cards is better than most new boardgames

Benny was the protagonist in Rent

most opinions should not be arrived at, you aren't that smart and you aren't that tasteful

you shouldn't be able to graduate college without passing a class called Shutting the Fuck Up About Things Most of the Time

*seminar

These are good

i don't actually know any cocaine vegans. in indiana we just have smack conservatives.

concerts should actually start on time.

Qualx otm. In fact one place I'm pretty conservative is how education should be done. You don't get to participate in a seminar-style discussion where you spray your uninformed opinion all over everything without some base level of knowledge. Start by shutting the fuck up, doing the reading, and talk because you have genuine questions about what the text or the professor is saying. Also some level of memorization and understanding of dates is necessary to learning most humanities subjects. And advanced interpretive processes found in critical theory and such are just that, advanced, and you should learn to close read a text in a more formalistic way before you approach any of that stuff.

is epistemic humility really a conservative belief? i guess small-c conservative but i consider it a liberal value - to acknowledge that there is much we don't know or understand is to acknowledge that the status quo may be flawed.

I mean my posts were less about conservatism and more just directed at this thread lol

haha

not to make a statement in general but I have come to really resent that I went to a research university -- not a GOOD one, but one that prides itself very loudly on being 'a research university' -- and I managed an english degree without ever once being asked to actually do any research in an english class.

not against humanities degrees but against the dominance of studying philosophies that don't place value in research and context outside of the context of a dumb 20 year old's dumb brain

research university = the university does resesarch. It has nothing to do necessarily with what undergrads learn.

the Democratic Party would be in biiiiiig trouble if they didnt cater to extreme pro-abortion fanatics

people should pay to go to university, and less people should go to university

The most important skills you can develop are those that will be useful in a doomsday apocalyptic scenario.

how could you possibly know what those would be without knowing the exact nature of the scenario?

xp it might have had to do with the whole 'loud proclamations' thing but the university prided itself on research-centric classes, and you'd hear about it in non-humanities classes anyway (where it wouldn't necessarily be an assumption based on the course)

still, I'd say the same things about humanities in any university

xp mechanics, electric, construction, farming, etc obv we can't predict the future but all seem more valuable than accounting or law

aka skills that are valuable outside the context of society

but what about the accountants and lawyers who aren't lucky enough to see a doomsday in their lifetime? what a waste of effort.

nb that you don't actually need an apocalypse for those skills to be valuable
