I have a paid off house, plenty in the bank, and investments. I'm less convinced by communism than I was as a kid, but I support the progressive agenda, vote green and annoy city planners asking about pedestrian and bike infrastructure in new developments

I don't think I could be accused of conservatism, though I seem to have done capitalism reasonably

Actually maybe I am a conservative - I do want to conserve this biosphere, rather than destroying it through the radical increase in carbon burn in the last few hundred years

That's conservationism, not conservatism. Conservatism is about establishing and enforcing hierarchies of social power.

It was a joke :). I was playing on the dictionary definition of (little C) conservatives, in contrast to (big C) Conservatives

Modern Conservatives area actually radicals, and they unfairly leave actual conservatives (who want stability or careful change) with no representation

Then those actual conservatives need to do the hard work and actually rein in their wacko cousins.

Be cool to each other. We'll welcome most occult themes, it's okay if you stray from witchcraft a bit.

No advertising. No trolling. No hate. Violaters will be removed unceremoniously.
