    You have a very US-American centrist view. European conservatives will sometimes be to the left of US-Democrats. Conservatism is relative to the society, it wants to generally preserve things how they are (again, very basic human experience if you ask me) - just happens that in the USA things rather suck for quite a lot of people.

      That’s pretty funny considering I’m a Nordic socialist.

      May well be but it’s not the case where I live. We have multiple literal neo-Nazis in parliament, courtesy of – drumroll please – a fucking conservative party. None of the conservative parties currently in our government are in any fucking way left of center, or even left of the US Democrats.

      Also, none of this is an actual argument for your position on why those studies are “bio-determinist” and why acknowledging the results is somehow harmful, you’re just deflecting the argument onto me

        Funny indeed, but can happen to the best of us.

        So in your opinion conservatism is not a valid political ideology? Or what is your conclusion. Since conservatives are part of our society and always will be and in a democracy we have to work with them.

          Where the hell did I say anything of the sort? If you can’t at least try to argue in good faith I really don’t see what the point is here – so far you’ve just managed vague claims about “bio-determinism”, an equally nebulous ad hominem about how I’m very “US centrist”, and this fucking fantastic leap of reasoning
