American here...

If there is one thing I'd hoped the world learned from us in the last 9 years or so, don't bend a fucking knee to conservatives regardless of where they are. Don't excuse, try to explain away or "Sanewash" shit they do.

Don't publize them, call out that idiocy was said, show why it's idiotic, and drop it. Don't give them time to dominate the news cycle.

God damnit it's frustrating seeing others go through the shit you just tried to stop, it's like watching the cars continue to slam into a pile up on a frozen foggy highway.

Calling alt-right authoritarian regressives/reactionaries "conservatives" bothers me. It's like "Damn those democracies and republics, like North Korea", and "Nazis were nationalists and socialists - it's in the name".

Conservatism is being wary of change and sticking to what works. Like not fucking up the climate.

That's not what Conservatism is. The ideology is and always has been about opposing equality and enlightenment values. The only difference between conservatives and the alt-right is that they're better at optics and lying.
