You believe in preserving traditional values and institutions to maintain social stability and continuity.
Conservatism is a political ideology that emphasizes the preservation of traditional institutions, practices, and moral values. It is rooted in a resistance to rapid change and a preference for gradual evolution, with a strong focus on maintaining social stability and continuity. The ideology often advocates for limited government intervention, free market capitalism, and individual liberties.
The origins of conservatism can be traced back to the late 18th century, during the period of the Enlightenment. It emerged as a reaction to the radical political changes brought about by the…

When faced with a controversial issue, how do you weigh the perspectives of tradition and innovation?
@9KT7ZHD2mos2MO
I would look at tradition and see the outcomes on the topic and if it needs to change then find ways to innovate otherwise leave it

provides a quantitative, objective, and persuasive platform on which to base an argument, prove a claim, or support an idea. Before a set of statistics can be used, however, it must be made understandable by people who are not familiar with statistics.
@9KT8FVV2mos2MO
It is important to look at our history of success and methods that have worked. When people can find a common ground that lasts, people can unify. However you must consider the alternatives and progressive options and weigh them against the old.
@9KTJSQGProgressive2mos2MO
Tradition is wrong 99% of the time. Tradition has a history of systemic inequality for literally all groups who are not straight white dudes. Just because we did it in the past does not make it good considering the US's history of war crimes, injustices and oppression. Unity is not needed, just because 30% of the population believes something does not make it correct or true. We can put effort into trying to convice them but after a certain point some people are just unreachable. In the case of things like climate change, deniers are in the vast minority and are just flatty wrong. If at this point they are still deniers no amount of effort will change that. Pushing for consensus here means no progress is ever made despite most people wanting change.

For any economic, domestic policy or foreign policy decisions, stick to the constitution. For culture related issues, the government should have no say.
@9KT7DPD2mos2MO
I think I go based off what I know and I also try to understand what the person is coming from.
@ISIDEWITH6mos6MO
Do you feel that traditional values in your life are under threat by modernity, and how does this make you feel?
@9K73PYG3mos3MO
Yes, I am not a fan of more liberal movements such as LGBTQ especially. The concept of switching genders is unnatural, plus the operation has countless health risks in the long run. In addition to psychological problems gvwhen you pressure these ideologies onto young children.
@9K73N3M3mos3MO
Yes, it makes me feel like we're losing our sense of value within our community.
@9HCZT7H6mos6MO
No. The world moves on and we need to get better. We need to address areas where we can improve.
@9K73SF33mos3MO
I don’t think my values are under any threat at all. The changing times should not make you feel threatened to change your traditional values. Everyone has a right to have their own beliefs and values and I don’t think anyone should have to feel “threatened” just because the majority doesn’t have the same exact traditional values as them.
@ISIDEWITH2mos2MO
Why might someone of your generation choose to uphold values from an older generation?
@9KSL9XK2mos2MO
Because of the environment, they were raised in and it upholds the values expressed in one's family.
Lack of an open mind and adaptability, afraid of change.
@9KSCV6Z2mos2MO
because of the success the generations before us experienced
@9KSD58Z2mos2MO
I think that people from my generation might choose to uphold values from the older generation since they re wiser then us
@ISIDEWITH6mos6MO
How do you approach the idea that some traditions may perpetuate inequality, and does this affect your stance on conservatism?
Something that has always been incredibly important to me is equality between people regardless of who they are, what they look like, etc. I tend to stay away from conservatism in a lot of matters because I don’t like some of the ideas that it promotes and I don’t feel that it adequately covers all my opinions.
@9H9HPQR6mos6MO
Conservatism is very old and traditional and doesn’t fit with today but to each its own.
@9H9GH3Z6mos6MO
I don't like the old racist/sexist/homophobic ideologies of conservatism
@9H9HLMM6mos6MO
I **** ing hate conservatism and I am not the one to be asked.
@Patriot-#1776Constitution6mos6MO
While I do admire your articulate, manful, and polished prose and rhetorical brilliance, as well as your great admiration for upholding the integrity of our great language through refraining from dispensing profanities, I must lamentably disagree with you on this one issue. But still I would encourage to persist in acquainting yourself with the beauties of our language, that your already admirable skills in writing it may be all the more multiplied.
@ISIDEWITH2mos2MO
Can you describe how preserving a family recipe has connected you to your heritage?
@9KRT2C5 2mos2MO
No, unfortunately recipes in my family are all unhealthy.
@9KV98QQ2mos2MO
Through the preservation of our family recipe we were able to understand the significance of each ingredient and the origins of it

I do not have enough information to form an opinion on this matter.
@ISIDEWITH6mos6MO
If society's traditions conflict with modern values, should they be preserved or reevaluated?
@VulcanMan6 6mos6MO
Traditions are worthless on their own. If a tradition conflicts with modern values, then that tradition should absolutely be reevaluated, at the minimum.
@Patriot-#1776Constitution6mos6MO
I strongly disagree with you. Traditional values like hard work, the nuclear family, Christianity, patriotism, and respect for veterans are highly beneficial for society. If we ditch or "absolutely ... reevaluate" traditions when they conflict with modern values, we lose all the wisdom of the past and embrace the constantly-evolving, fickle dictates of fashionable opinion without regard to civic virtue or common sense. This is dangerous and must be stopped.
@SmithDylan6mos6MO
Reevaluated, Traditions that are inherently wrong shouldn't stick around. Just because it's traditional doesn't mean it's right, just, or good for the world.
@ISIDEWITH5mos5MO
Can you describe a historical event where conservative principles played a positive role, and how does that resonate with you?
@Patriot-#1776Constitution4mos4MO
The American Revolution – because of the conservative and Christian spirit of our Founders, the Revolution was not the bloody Reign of Terror suffered in the French by the Jacobins, and did not lapse into a tyrannical dictatorship, as Napoleon led France into, but rather became the freest and greatest nation in the history of the world.
@9HYHQWD4mos4MO
The well being of the american tradition and spirit during the 1900 hundreds.
@9HYHRWYLibertarian 4mos4MO
I cannot think of a time that it played a positive role.
@ISIDEWITH5mos5MO
When have you chosen a conservative approach over a more modern one due to personal or family values?
@Patriot-#1776Constitution4mos4MO
When I refused to use the so-called "pronouns" of a man who thought he was a woman, and watched his face turn red as a tomato
@9HWFZ964mos4MO
I am a more conservative man, and I do take action not just in politics, but in everyday life to be more conservative with energy, money, and opinions.

@ISIDEWITH5mos5MO
How do you perceive the role of family traditions in shaping your identity and values?
@ISIDEWITH5mos5MO
Is there a particular tradition you would fight to preserve—why does it matter so much to you?
@ISIDEWITH3mos3MO
Do you think the desire for social stability can sometimes hinder necessary progress, and why?
