You are being entirely idealistic. You are saying things that sound nice to you without considering how realistic they are.
You cannot attack an ideology without attacking the people who make up that ideology. They cannot be cleanly distinguished from each other.
At some level you even realize this.
This means attacking the people. You are talking about making conservatives social pariahs, having them lose their livelihoods and power.
So yes, destroy conservatism, but if you don't have the stomach to do everything that simple statement entails, get out of my way.
Quit your bullshit. Dunking on shitty beliefs does not equate to killing or hurting people like you were suggesting.
Good job moving the goal posts. First it was purging. Now it's being made out to be social pariahs. Pick one, and quit equating scorn with violence.
No one hasn't mentioned violence except you. The word "attack" can mean many things.
You have a short memory

Did you just link to a comment I didn't make? The delusions of auth-left never ceases to amaze me.
Lemmy has shitty links, and yours got buried by downvotes. Read the third one down:
I'm not auth left. But thanks for the insult, it's nicer to know that I'm dealing with a literal child.
And does "purge" mean violence to you?
Yes, you are auth-left. Your views on personal liberty are authoritarian. I am a liberal, but that's all I am going to say about myself.
In this context yes.
No I'm not.
No, you're just a troll on a 1 day old account.
How are you not auth left?
