    It’s interesting how you’ve shoehorned conservatism into the conversation, but “fatalism” is the right word here.

      Shoehorned? I think you mean “accurately described” instead of politely keeping quiet like we always used to do. The truth is, normal people have always seen the dangerous conservatism around us. We’ve just been polite this whole time. Look where that’s gotten us.

      Conservatism is a plague and should be spoken about openly. We should be teaching our children why we don’t do business or keep relationships with racists, misogynists, bigots, xenophobes, homophobes or any other types of conservatives.

      Wherever possible, normal people should be marginalizing the haters to marginalize the hate.

        Shoehorned. I’m sure you have your reasons to hate conservatism, but Russians are fatalistic conformists, not conservatists.
