    Social conservatism always results in a hollowed out, soulless culture in which the fun, unique, and superfluous aspects of existence are steamrolled in favor of bland conformism? And it always applies to everything?

    Lib ass take, this is just capitalism. Even capitalism in its most “progressive” version does this and it does nothing but this.

      And your public assemblies I have come to hate. For there are excessive banqueting, and subtle flutes which provide lustful movements, and useless and luxurious anointing, and crowning with garlands.

      -a guy who died in 215 C.E.

      It’s a lot older than capitalism.

      Social conservatism is not exclusive to capitalist economies. It’s existed as a mentality for millennia before capitalism came to be, and still exists in socialist states.

      You recognize that even “progressive” capitalism isn’t progressive at all, so where’s the communication breakdown here?
