My kid had a Halloween book taken from them because it offended someone. It had a witch on it.
It can be both.
I don’t get how this anecdote counters the idea that life was complex in the past, they just weren’t necessarily aware of it?
I’m always telling the kids this. You don’t have to worry about it right now you’re just a kid, but one day you will so be aware. I can’t count the number of times I’ve said that or something akin to it.
Just last night my kid said “You’re an adult, you can do whatever you want.”
I said “If I could do whatever I want I’d be sitting naked on the couch with a beer, not hosting your Halloween party.”

Because if there’s anything conservatives are known for, it’s tolerating diversity. We surely wouldn’t have a diverse group of monoculture countries, nope.
So, conservatism preserves diversity by… (checks your comment) …limiting the intersection of different cultures.
Even by your description, conservatism sounds like a plague of xenophobia and racism.
Maybe it’s time to marginalize conservatism so we can marginalize the racism and xenophobia that comes with it.
This is probably not the right place for such a comment. You are expected to agree.
