How Should We Define Conservatism? Maybe Not Like This
I poke fun at both libertarianism and conservatism pretty regularly, so when I saw this post, I knew I had been called to share it.
It combines both of my favorite topics of derision, after all.
Introducing Kathy Zhu’s muddled beliefs:
You really cannot make this stuff up. Our friend Kathy Zhu has apparently never attempted to read the definition of what the word “conserve” means.
If she had, she would realize that literally each point she mentioned does in fact need to be followed, if one wants to be a true “conservative” (in the strict sense of the word).
Especially the last piece—Tradition is precisely what is to be conserved. If you have something worth conserving, we would generally call that our… you guessed it, tradition.
What this lady has defined as “conservative” is the exact definition of libertarianism. Which should come as no surprise, since she appears to be an ethnic type. She is definitely not a heritage American. Those people always love the libertarian lie because it justifies their inclusion in the society our fathers built.
Libertarians would love her list, because they are fine destroying Western Civilization, so long as GDP remains strong while we descend into the abyss. But would a true conservative support that same list? Absolutely not. [Even true conservatives have their own problems. You shouldn’t be one even given a correct definition].
Libertarians truly are another breed. But modern conservatives are just as hilarious.
I have been noticing this trend lately. Modern conservatives are just libertarians in disguise. The final transformation is happening.
This is also why everyone hates conservatives. Because they conserve nothing; not even their own beliefs.
In fact, the conservatives have failed at conserving anything so hard that they could not even conserve their own name.
That’s one for the record books.

Both libertarians and conservatives are on the right, but the fundamental difference is that conservatives want to preserve the old as long as it still works fine, whereas libertarians are seeking for more autonomous control over their own lives.
She makes it appear like there’s no overlap between the 2.
Words are formed in a specific way for a reason.
“Libert” comes from “liberty”, which means “freedom”, and “arian” means “believer” or “advocate” of something, or someone native to a certain area (for example Hungarian) according to: https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/-arian
So a libertarian advocates for freedom, a vegetarian advocates for eating vegetables, and so on.
I am jealous that you still have libertarians that are on the Right. All of our libertarians are tranny-lovers that want open borders and want companies to be able to deny you employment forever because you don’t get covid jabbed. Many of them are the furthest thing from the Right over here.
Those are liberals rather.
They’re both on the more liberty focused side (ironically), but liberals are on the left, libertarians are on the right.
Libertarians tend to be more about gun rights, Austrian economics, free market, and cryptocurrencies, whereas liberals are all about wokeness, climatism, cancel culture, and anti-capitalism.
“A libertarian is a person who believes that no one has the right, under any circumstances, to initiate force against another human being for any reason whatever; nor will a libertarian advocate the initiation of force, or delegate it to anyone else. Those who act consistently with this principle are libertarians, whether they realize it or not. Those who fail to act consistently with it are not libertarians, regardless of what they may claim.”
L. Neil Smith [RIP]
Libertarianism is a political philosophy. What your quote describes is a moral philosophy. This is not the same thing. Neil Smith—whoever that is—is better defining the non-aggression principle (NAP), rather than political libertarianism.
Even further, the NAP is a false morality (religion) invented by man. I wouldn’t recommend it. God’s morality is better, and it does involve initiating force under limited circumstances.
Still, thanks for the counter-opinion, LiberTarHeel.
Conservatives: Focus too much on the [republic] system.
Libertarians: Focus too much on the economy.
Distractions to turn the focus away from the best focus: the national people. This is what nationalists focus on.
Good piece again, Kaisar.
Thank you, Phantom. And agreed wholesale. Good short analysis.
