In der King's Speech zur Eröffnung des britischen Parlaments kündigte die Regierung weitere Vergaben von Lizenzen für die Öl- und Gasförderung in der Nordsee an. Diese Politik der Konservativen wird als Versuch angesehen, der Labor-Opposition zu schaden und der Bevölkerung zu suggerieren, eine konsequentere Klimapolitik werde zu wirtschaftlichen und sozialen Problemen führen.https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2023/nov/07/anti-green-measures-in-kings-speech-are-desperate-political-play-by-sunak

Many in the southern United States are converting to Orthodox Christianity, a conversion which is tied into patriarchal ideas on the far right.

  • conservatives are voted in to slow down the acceptance of a social norm
  • paradoxically, humans have both a conservative and a liberal nature. We naturally have a tendency to both conserve and to try new things.

Is this a general feature of the conservative far right of constantly denying our humanity and care for each other?

Adam Bienkov. (2021, December 14). Conservative MP Desmond Swayne says the “carnage” on UK roads is “certainly killing more people than Covid at the moment”. For context there were just 1,460 deaths on British roads in the whole of 2020, compared to more than 4,000 deaths of people with Covid last month alone.

Thoughts and prayers. A lot of thoughts and prayers. They buy in to emotions alright, to belief: sympathy & benevolence are reserved for the community, for those with moral caliber as high as theirs, while attempts to prepare & make better are regarded as too rational, destined to become rotting hinderments, unable to be improved or addressed; they believe in the perpetual constant & ongoing failure of the rational, and only in their own emotions.

Conservatives actively resist society allowing itself to prepare against ills or trying to improve the common welfare. It seems to trust only in it's ancestors & it's own superiority.

It's interesting that Loeffler mentions increasing the overlooked conservative's vote-- it does make me wonder if her reaction would have been the same had she won. Furthermore, this is where Blow begins his examples of conservative leaders and their takes on recent election results (exemplification).

Each and every word of this can be debated upon.

What comes under basic infrastructure?

• I presume everyone thinks about high investment hard infrastructure like roads, rail networks, fibre optic and electric lines, airports etc.

• Are public schools and colleges included?

• Are medicare and social safety nets counted as basic infrastructure?
• Is defining criteria of intellectual property and granting patents counted?
• What about public transportation?
• Funding early scientific research?

Or do we expect all of these to be funded through charity?

This is the second or third reference to this I've seen now in the past couple of months. I obviously need to read more Lakoff, though the general conceit rings true to me on its face.

this is interesting because Americans are very similar to people who live in El Salvador, there are a lot of similarities.
