@InspectorCaracal@tootplanet.space And I think you're ignoring the fact that I do actually believe conservativism as a philosophy is bigoted by virtue of the fact that it seeks to disconnect the circumstances of a person's birth from the reasons why that person may be struggling later in life. It inverts cause and effect, assumes success must be the result of hard work, and uses systemic lack of minority market successes as justification for its social positions.

@InspectorCaracal@tootplanet.space To be sure, not all bigots are conservative, but I do think all conservatives have at least a little bigotry in them because of the nature of their political philosophy.
