Hmm, I’ve never seen someone directly link conservatism to the entire concept of society.

I didn’t know considering societal consitions was conservative. But I guess conservative leaders did implement a lot of environmental protections. 🤔

Where does the line actually fall, do you think? I assume I’m over extending a bit here. Making assumptions about what you mean.

I was being facetious. That’s the excuse these idiots use for every single “new” thing.

  Ok, see that makes a lot more sense than whatever the other guy who replied to me is going on about and accusing me of.
  
  Thanks for the reply.

Well, you are taking the excuse given at face value. Do you also think laws for back doors in encryption systems are to protect the children?

  Back doors are never safe. Never a good idea. They are always eventually a security hole.

    And you think conservatives are genuinely trying to pass these other laws for the good of society and not for control?

    Can you write up the logic chain that made you assume I think any particular law is good for society, let alone the one you focused on?
    
    All I was commenting on was the idea that conservatives are the ones crying “we live in a society” and not progressives. I’ve always considered progressive ideas to be more in touch with “we live in a society!” Than conservatives who want to punish and suppress marginalized groups who are, in fact, part of society.
    
    What the hell man?
