Same with being pro life but not making abortion illegal. My opinion only

Abel Zoni no we want it illegal unless it’s needed

@@penguino4509 im not sure you speak for we.

Abel Zoni most conservatives want all non needed abortion illegal. That’s the pro life view we aren’t the left who will say don’t do something but never do anything about it especially when over 900,000 babies are killed. You may be different but I’m stating a majority view of must conservatives

@@penguino4509 i disagree. I think many conservatives disagree with abortion however they would not want it illegal. Just for the record, I am a conservative are you?

I think your thinking of liberal wing republicanism

Because Liberalism was originally defined as placing an emphasis on individual sovereignty. Now in America it’s basically used as a stand in for the term Progressivism. Largely thanks to FDR co-opting the term after the Progressive movement had started to fall out of favor.

ユーネ / Yuune In Brazil, Conservatives are called liberals, while Progressives are called 'socialists' :/

Because the main clash line is not the same in Europe and in the USA. In Europe the main clash line is about economy , and then right wing defend economic liberalism, while the left and the progressive fight unregulated capitalism. Then liberal is associated with right wing politics. In most western Europeans countries right wing is less about religion, tradition, nationalism, etc... or in a light way. Then there are less clash about societal subjects than in the USA. In the USA there is a global consensus about economy between democrats and republicans ( billionaires support both parties) , but the clash line is about societal problems, and then here the liberal position is on the left wing side agaisnt conservatives. Then along the American history of the 20th century, liberal and progressive were associated, and eventually confused.

@@timayjust What? I would say that's pretty accurate.

Rook - What exactly was incorrect?

He had a pretty clear bias actually but it’s just not obvious to those who don’t study politics (don’t take this as an insult). Liberalism consists of both what Americans call “conservatives” and “liberals”. Both fall under the liberal ideology of free-market economy and individual freedom. The difference is that so-called conservatives in America believe in social traditionalism. This traditionalism by no means at all separates them from the liberal ideology, it simply makes them conservative liberals. Anyway, the bias he showed may have been unintentional but it was there nevertheless (the American bias)

You’re most likely a libertarian then. Fiscally conservative socially liberal

Why unless you are directly benefiting. Why don't we have a middle class and isn't that what you want. Are you better off with a smarter healthy society or a stupid sick community? I believe that you confused the rich salesman selling you to

@@MrDan11422 How do you succeeded in capitalism? You do things that other people want. If you give people a product they like. If you give an employer good labor, you get money. That is why graphs show as the rich get richer the middle class and poor class gets richer as well.

Turn one Sacred Cat - True. Studies show that the “rich” and “poor” are both getting richer.

@@realjrq I know, People think there is a finite amount of money and there is only so much to go around, Rich people create wealth, not horde it from others

Can you explain more?

@@Brya_baby The natural or conservative stance on Affirmative Action has nothing to do with being blind to people’s races. There is an inherently deceitful constitution behind a “racial unity” that can only be accomplished by trying to “un-see” people’s identities. In contrast, the conservative position is that Affirmative Action actually hurts minorities, by specifically targeting them. So in regards to education, we don’t want society to be race-blind, we just want to make the argument that no one group should ever be treated differently than another. Even if the intention is noble, the practice is still racist, and that’s where we stand.

@@polynesianbloodline ok I sort of understand.

@@Brya_baby I’m definitely no expert and still learning too. Maybe go watch some Dr. Sowell or Walter E. Williams to explain more on natural and conservative ideas about education.

@@polynesianbloodline I can see what you mean. All my white friends will be paying back student loans for the rest of their life. While I had so many black only scholarships and grants to choose from. I did feel kinda bad for them.

You're smart and are a logical thinker then my dude

Wow same here im conservative too

I’m in the middle of the road. I believe: Abortion should be pro-choice, I’m against affirmative action, we NEED GUNS, the justice system is harder on minorities, we don’t need harder taxes on the rich, our spending should be neither on social programs or the military (as much) and should go to science, we should save our planet 🌍, and we do need a strong military.

@@Twizzzums you are a conservative

@@yannospapakias830 Woah there, don't make his choice for him

Trust me they are

@The Deluxe Gamer thanks for being understanding

I'm not American, so my viewpoint here is completely unbiased, just wanted to say that. So, I kinda do agree on republicans on SOME aspects. I'm 100% progressive, I'm part of the LGBTQ+ community, I'm black(more specifically brown) , and I'm an aethist, so you can already tell that I'm not the most "conservative" person, lol. But there are some points I agree on, like Pro-life, well, not entirely. I have kind of a mixed view when it comes to abortion. If it wasn't your fault, if you got violated or sexually abused, then I can completely understand why you'd want to get an abortion. But if you're literally aware of it and decide to not wear protection or you're being irresponsible about it, then i can't really support it. I truly believe that human life isn't a thing that should be taken for granted or lightly. I'm definitely not an extremist about it and I wouldn't go on rallies waving signs that said "you're killing babies you liberal scum", but if you were 100% aware that you were creating a baby and simply decided to not care because you "could abort it later", then I don't think I can really support you on that one. I also do believe that crime should be punished more hardly. I do believe that there are a lot of social issues that cause crimes, and if there's a bigger reason as to why it's happening, I definitely do believe that there are a lot of people who shouldn't get punished for some crimes. But I absolutely cannot have empathy for someone that doesn't have empathy for other people, I like to be the devil's advocate and put myself in the shoes of everyone I interact with, but that's where the line is drawn. If you're killing and robbing innocent people for the sake of your own benefit, then you deserve to rot away in jail for the rest of your life. But those are pretty much the only two things I semi agree with conservatives/republican, I'd definitely say I'm more liberal in that general. With gun control and spendings and regulations, etc, I completely agree with liberals. But as I said, I'm not from the United States, so I don't really need to worry about this, but it's certainly interesting.

@@qwertydavid8070 You know that in places with more gun control the crime is way higher than places where everyone has guns.

@@niklaseldevik6909 all of them

That’s funny 😂

I'm no political expert, and just a high school student but here is my take. A democrat is someone who agrees with significantly more democratic ideals than republican ideals, and vice versa for republicans. I defined an independent as someone who has views that don't match with either of the typical viewpoints/ideals of democrats or republicans. As for a moderate, I think it's someone who is more 50-50 on republican vs democratic views (as you specifically asked about). If you're something like 60-40, one could say that they're a left/right-leaning moderate. Hope this helps! Edit: I realized this question was asked a while ago, but I'm still keep my response haha

Pretty much how societt should go. But too many people see black and white

@@bavarialuxembourgen7772 yeah

Hence why we need a couple of more parties.

Most conservative ideology has been in existence for thousands of years as it comes mainly from the Bible, while many liberal ideologies come from the rejection of tradition in favor of newer things. There is division because conservatives believe in the protection of constitutional rights while liberals are against them and want new ones that conservatives feel violate the rights of others. Like for example hate speech. Many liberals want the right to not be offended. To conservatives this would mean they would loose their right to free speech as they can't say anything that could offend someone. Things like this cause division because people feel like their lives are in danger if the other side wins.

@@hectorvega621 I say we should eradicate them completely but hey as long as America is no longer under a two party system that is fine by me

Yeah why is it always between these 2 parties. It’s historical roots come from England with the Tories and the Whigs that’s why all the British colonies have this tension I belive

shuppypuppy17 Well, the Republicans are a newer party as they only existed several years before the Civil War.

Yea..I just watched a video of Europe’s ideology’s and holy crud I can’t wrap my head around on quite a few things. I think my “wait..what???” counter was at 8

How did he explain it bad. Conservatives think that we live in an equal society and we should not consider ethnicity in opportunistic choices.

Thomas The Apostle - Well, he’s missing key points that people like Thomas Sowell make. Affirmative action leads to placing smart people in places they’re not going to do as well in because of the standards already established at that institution, which is why you see higher dropout rates in some colleges from minorities.

😂 lmao where is it balanced tho. Thats not based on reality...

Good point.

Jesus eww

you negate the consideration like it is wrong, while it is not wrong, it is the result of what you're saying. Be constructive

I'd say Conservatives want a racially blind Government, not a racially blind society

being against health care is not individualism by greed. individualism makes individuals (including the poor, the women, ect...) the drive of the society. The antagonist is authoritarian : the drive of the society is something external and superior to the individual ( divinity, tradition, bank account, strong leader, "market", biological category, etc.... ) none of the conservative positions are individualists. abortion -> authoritarian forcing raped women to keep a future potential baby is not individualist not fighting discrimination is not individualist rigid/tough view about crime is not individualism refusing that individual can get access to education and good health, because it harms a well filled bank account is not individualism. Serving the individual is the core purpose of public service like national education and NHS. Non regulation of power of the elite is not individualist, it is just defense of the power. A real individualist society has democratic power in all layers of the society. Individualism push to give to worker a power on things that affect them. This is not what conservative defend. Army is not individualist but authoritarian. Only authoritarians peoples defend a strong army.

Cam of Steel what's it like believing in things that have historically been bad for everyone? Just curious. You can call right wingers names all you want but at least the policies they want have worked before

KaiusKC What are you referring to? I’m talking about things like the NHS state free education. Active measures are made to help people who are financially disadvantaged. If your point is that a kind of socialist state is wrong well I would argue a free market capitalist country is extremely unfair and wrong because it makes the ridiculous assumption that without man made statist intervention that the world is already a kind of meritocracy which is completely wrong. I’m from England but in the U.S these ideas of Medicare, education, social services and even the huge military are ideas that are part of socialism. Today America, a first world country, has some of the worst levels poverty, pretty much 3rd world levels. America have left the Paris peace conference on climate change and its government keep time after time cutting corporate taxes for the 1%. Would you regard these as fair choices in the long run? Further there are many cases of ‘right ‘ wing governments doing awful things. I mean the big one (which is prone to all free market economies) is huge recessions. Just like the Great Depression in the 1930s which caused the majority of countries to refuse peaceful negotiations and instead invade others. Like Italy, Japan and Germany which I believe was a huge factor in getting Hitler into power and hence being a major cause of WW2. American imperialism in the 20th century lead to the government giving money power and armour to corrupt dictatorial powers in the South American countries causing mass death and poverty. It was only when Castro and others came along and improved health education and lifestyle for many South Americans. I mean I don’t agree that Castro was a good man as I disagree with many policies he made like towards Cuban nationalism and family values. But the ideas he had for helping the poor are great and it worked through a near socialist/communist economy. I mean there are many other examples of both left and right doing wrong. Rather the debate should not be that but what does a country want and what is the best system to achieve that. Many polls have suggested that the majority of Americans basically want socialism i.e free Medicare and larger army and free education but once you mention it’s socialism they hate it which I think comes down to the agenda of American media

@@KaiusKC you are a liar history show that left wing policies are better for everyone than right wing policies who just benefit for an elite minority . You should think a little before writing propaganda messages. Public education allow everyone to get high level of education -> good thing for all public health care -> when not managed with private economy in mind, they give the best health services. It allow the greatest number peoples to get good health service, and then better health. -> good for everyone. private health service reduce access to good health for a lot of peoples -> bad for everyone lack of regulation at works gives : misery wage for workers -> bad for everyone no access to public health service -> bad for everyone make strong inequality , in addition of bad social state for most of peoples , it make rises criminality and other bad effects on society -> bad for everyone not fighting pollution,means bad health or death for peoples -> bad for everyone The best proof are Nordic countries : with heavy social/economic left wing policies ( while not socialist on dogmatic point of view ) : They have the best Human Development Index , then left wing work better than right wing policies. Western Europe have developed well because left wing/liberal policies made the life better than before. Then left winf policies are better for everyone.
