The dangers of conservatism/fascism.

If not for conservatism, humans would be proactively addressing global heating. Conservatives oppress the innocent and vulnerable in every country where conservatives have power. If not for conservatism, there would be no genocide. Conservatives are the gullible, deadly foot-soldiers of the billionaires.

Conservatism is the single biggest threat to life on earth. Eradicating conservatism would be the single most positive change we could make to preserve life on earth.

You are dead wrong. I was raised in a deeply conservative lifestyle with conservative friends, family, and neighbors. I retired from a career steeped in conservatives, working shoulder to shoulder with them daily. The vast majority of the people I’ve known through the years have been conservative. I’ve been talking and listening this whole fucking time, trying to move them toward reason, naively thinking they would someday grow emotionally, become empathetic or introspective. A conservative is simply not able to experience these things. Empathy and introspection are not conservative traits.

Conservatives will not budge an inch. The more one attempts to reason with them, the more angry they become. If you aren’t careful, you will end up on their enemies list just for being a suspected non-conservative.

I appreciate your friendly approach, as it seems to come from a place of kindness and empathy, but that capacity for empathy does not exist in a conservative.

Never in history has fascism been cured by just talking and listening. Historically, the cure for fascism is only delivered by force.
