“Someone suggested the use of the word *heterophobe*.

I like it”.

I like it, too and am going to use it.

Conservatism is dead.

The forces that will defeat the red guards and alter or abolish the forces in power, and then institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness, will not be in the least conservative.

I don’t believe that. I believe things go in circles, and there will be a conservative President again, in response to the obscene liberalism going on now. 2016 would have been the natural conservative cycle, but Trump co-opted it. He got the conservative vote but didn’t rule like one. Things like the debt and another real war will eventually force reality back on us.

We need to participate in an alternate economy

Absolutely. Start with Amazon, replace it with eBay and Craigslist. I did back ten years ago when Amazon bought Whole Foods, which I couldn’t stomach, pardon the pun. Never looked back, and don’t even click their site for reviews anymore at this point.

The farmer’s markets have mostly gone to junk wares but I still try to only buy organic or at least non-GMO when I go to the grocery store. Only spend your money on wholesome things, and get off the pharmaceuticals. If you just eat right and take vitamins a lot of ailments go away.

We may not mean the same thing by “conservativism”.

There are forms of conservatism which abhor individualism/libertarianism. Adopting a system of “every man for himself” while being ruled by a powerful elite that was very effective at joint action has led to disaster.

To “conserve” or better, to recover what has been lost, is going to require very powerful common action to uproot and then to disempower our rulers, claiming our rights set forth in the Declaration of Independence.

National Review and the Heritage Foundation are not going to get the job done.

The supercomputer simulators are likely showing various forms of revolt in the future. Why do you think they hiring and literally arming ~100k new IRS agents? Not to squeeze a few bucks out of people, but to start dealing with the people who don’t want to pay anything, at all. CBDC is another way to control what people do with their money. Attempts like that of taxation without representation will lead people to conserve, again, at some point.

Common sense right there. Also, question your doctor. Make them earn their money and employ what they have learned and experienced. It is good for you and for them. We all have to expand our thinking and avoid groupthink at all costs.
