(265 posts)31. Conservatism Is Toxic To Modern Life
What you have written has been known for a long time. Here's a sample:
From the Conceptual Guerilla's "Defeat the Right In Three Minutes"
"It's really that simple. First, you have to beat their ideology, which really isn't that difficult. At bottom, conservatives believe in a social hierarchy of "haves" and "have nots" that I call "corporate feudalism". They have taken this corrosive social vision and dressed it up with a "respectable" sounding ideology. That ideology is pure hogwash, and you can prove it."

Then, there's Phillip Agre's "What is Conservatism And What Is Wrong With It"
Q: What is conservatism?
A: Conservatism is the domination of society by an aristocracy.
Q: What is wrong with conservatism?
A: Conservatism is incompatible with democracy, prosperity, and civilization in general. It is a destructive system of inequality and prejudice that is founded on deception and has no place in the modern world.

I said in a recent post that Fox is responsible for most of the evil in the world.

Quantifying evil is strange. If someone kills 50 people as opposed to 100, are they any less evil?
