Conservative governments always oppress their people. Always. Conservatism is a global plague in desperate need of a cure.
The cure is education
Education is the innoculation, but not the cure. It is an important preventative that takes decades to have an effect. And conservatives are destroying that innoculation wherever they are able. It is, unfortunately, not a cure for those already infected.
An effective cure will be something much more swift.
In what way does education not cure the problem?
I get that you for whatever reason only recognize results if they are fast, but reality unfortunately does not share your bias.
When a disease is able to defeat the treatment, and is actively doing just that as we speak, it's not an effective enough treatment to be called a cure.
Adult conservatives have the world's knowledge at their fingertips and they ignore it, deny it, and ban it. They are resistant to education. They also work aggressively to prevent youth from being exposed to it. This disease is extremely resistant to the treatment.
If we can stop the adult conservatives from preventing education of the youth, then the youth can be prevented from becoming infected with conservatism. That's not a cure, though. That's a preventative.
So lack of vaccine causes conservatism? Fuck I'd rather get autism at this point
Haha brilliant!
Ah semantics I see. Good luck with your weird prescriptivist, pedantic mission.

Well the German conservative and Nazi movements in large part arose in universities so not always.
That is not accurate. It was working class conservatives that gave rise to nazism. They were quite opposed to education in their behavior. They burned books and imprisoned and killed scholars.
Revisionist history at its finest.
So communism is conservative?
Communism is an economic construct, not a socially progressive or socially conservative one. Your attempts to conflate communism and social orientation will not work here. No one here is fooled by your bullshit semantics games. Take that shit right on back to Twitter or Stormfront or wherever ineffectual conservative dickbags hang out these days.
Ok tankie. Communism isn't real and hasn't ever been attempted.
Tankie? Have someone read my comment history to you. I'm sure one of your fellow conservatives over at Truth Social or NAMBLA knows their spellin' letters real good.
This is what a proper dictatorship looks like, folks.
All because his post seemed to go viral in the Bangladesh communities. Messed up stuff.
never go full North Korea
Speaking of Korea, about 15 years ago a South Korean man went to Amsterdam and blogged about smoking pot there.
He was arrested upon his return and imprisoned because South Koreans are bound by South Korean laws no matter where they are in the world.
Ok tankie.
