    I don’t think conservatives give a shit about “violence in the world”. Conservatives are the people suggesting we nuke the Middle East as a solution to conflicts there, for example.

    EDIT: I mean IRL, conservatives I know in person are the people I know saying shit like that - they’re usually hawkish, pro-war, apologists for American imperialism and colonial genocide, etc. - I know there are probably more nuanced takes from intellectuals, talking heads, etc. but I tend to think in general conservatives and the right are not concerned with ending violence but usually the exact opposite.

    Maybe if lefties were like this we wouldn’t be in the mess we are now

    Google “the paradox of tolerance” if you haven’t already heard of it
