An antiautonym. "Pigeon holing" and "making blanket statements." In the Brittney Griner conversation I believe it was [USER=18334]@rocknthefreeworld[/USER] who used the latter. Funny, one throwing a large covering over a group and the other in a small hole; yet they mean the same thing.
Conservative is a word I find outdated: useless, to be frank—right wing is the same. It's too "all-encompassing" leaving out individualism.
Circling back to Dr. Malone I see the need for these questions to be asked; these theories he has had to be considered. It doesn't make me a fan but I believe he has the right to speak on what he believes—everyone has the right to be heard. This is a core belief of a liberal; equal rights for all. Here we have a personal responsibility (health) issue where I'm struggling to see "conservative," or "right wing."
Circling back to our conversation about the protests outside of the residence: SCOTUS. I saw that as "breaking the law, a choice, and they should face the consequences." Is that right wing, a conservative view? I see things like marijuana as a personal responsibility issue, one where the law is being broken and if caught the consequences are fair. That's a choice made. Is that conservative? Consciously breaking the law? I look at the law, and its intent to protect everyone in an idealistic equal society, and realize that decision comes at an expense; personally and financially. That also echoes a liberal stance on personal responsibility.
In retrospect, this is a little funny. We're back to individualism which is what we were dancing around in the Elon Musk thread. I mentioned he was breaking up the status quo: essentially, shredding the blanket covering so many.
