Comment on What is conservatism? Go ahead and discuss!
InfernoWarrior@piefed.social 1 week ago I will say what I told someone else:
I am a conservationalist AND a conservative. Conservationalism can be a part of conservatism, which means to conserve. The principle is simple: We cannot use the land if we destroy the land and He commanded us to shepherd His world, not destroy it.
That should help to clear up any confusion.

Just because most American presidents and most Prime Ministers currently exploits or exploited the environment and the people does not mean we should continue this culture of abuse. Portraying it as such when roughly half of these countries votes for right-wing leaders will do us no good. Conservationalism needs to be a bipartisan initiative where we tell EVERYONE that doing these things are simply unacceptable. If it stays partisan, it will keep being an endless fight to stop this exploitation as the right continues to believe it ‘is a leftist thing’ because that is all they are told. Are you not sick of this pointless division between the left and the right? What happened to good against bad? We should be working together to stop the bad actions of these mega-corporations and politicians that gets rich off of blood money. There was a time during Theodore Roosevelt when we both were united against such corruption. Antitrust and conservationalism. If we keep destroying Earth, it may one day no longer be livable. The real problem are these mega-corporations and governments destroying what should be preserved and this should not be controversial to say, even though, sadly, it is.

You’re more than welcome to buy guided by your God, but, you cant impose your God on anyone. Conservatives are not for conservation. Maybe you need to reassess and look at Conservatives around the world
My religion does not convert others. We heavily discourage conversion.

As it should be, but your morals cant be pushed on others based on your flavour of god either
I do not particularly push my morals on others if others do not push their morals on me. And if they do, I still will not push my morals on them, but I will defend my moral-system unless someone gives me a valid reason backed up by neutral data to show me why I am wrong. Being open to change and hearing others out is an important thing.
