They mean much more than decorating. Women run the hearth. That means food, scheduling, care, nurturing, cleanliness, and order.

This arguably has far more power and importance than a wage slave McJob.

Bidenomics is killing everything good. Seems to be "the plan."

Subsidies with bad effects are terrible policy regardless of slogans.

Chinese military advancement stopped its massive forward leaps.

Korea had a similar effect.

Isolationism is short-sighted, but conservatives fall for this every time. Our enemy is Leftism, not its methods.

These guys championing #BRICS are the new Useful Idiots in America.

Just because the guys you hate also hate it, does not mean it is good.

Leftism is the root of our decline.

I've never really understood what "leftism" is supposed to mean. By your definition, it seems to be a bit of a misnomer, because it's not something people on the left tend to support. The enforced one-size-fits-all is more something you see among conservatives: conform, don't stick out, don't be different.Monarchy takes the opposite view, which is social hierarchy based on opportunity/reward and duty/privileges, not equality/conformity.

Conformity to the hierarchy, surely? People need to know their place and stick to it.

Generally, per Haidt and other sources:

* Leftism = individualism

* Conservatism = order

Conservatives believe in an order higher than the individual, so aim toward social order as well as fairness, justice, inclusion, etc.

Leftism means egalitarianism. That accelerates over time toward something like Full Communism, i.e. warlords who do favors in a distributarian society.

Conservatives emphasize right ways of doing things; their weakness is that they assume this is universal, their strength is that they produce social hierarchy based on competence and character.

It is not conformity to have a place in a hierarchy; conformity is the mob of identical individualists.

looking at what worked in history is what a "mob" does. then the "mob" builds institutions and has classes in civics. and structures government to have representatives and check and balances. we are the fucking mob not doing all the shit you have to claim we will do to justify putting your boot on most of our necks.

You might want to realize that you are in the top 1% of Leftists, and most have none of your concerns, appreciation for nuance, or sensitivity.

Mobs are also historically illiterate.

How many people on the Left know any US history prior to the 1960s?

I disagree. Mobs follow trends and panics.

History requires a sober analysis.

Those who decided government should have representatives and checks and balances were conservatives who detested socialism and diversity.
