Labels matter.
I no longer call myself a conservative. The label has already been destroyed.
I call myself a "Decentralist".
Then I tell people. Think about why people like Bitcoin.
They like it because it's decentralized away from big banks. I believe we need to shift power from a big entity like the federal government.
Most people listen when I restate it this way.
No problem.
I am hoping more of us drop the names "Right" and "Conservative". It already has been destroyed by our opponents.
A modern conservative is a classical liberal.
Dumb as fuck.
Nationalist.
Nationalist is bad as well. They have destoryed that term.
It's time to shift to something new.
Why let them destroy meanings of words? Describe the definition if you meet resistance.
Because it's a war and things change.
We have to be flexible like water. What does water do when you place a rock in it's path?
It moves around water and keeps going.
Things aren't meant to stay the same forever.
Blue vs Red and left vs. Right had their time. Those words no longer have benefits anymore.
Then ran it's course. This is why Trump is calling us MAGA and not conservatives.
