(Anonymous) 2023-05-13 02:37 am (UTC)(link)In other words - the intellectual logic of conservatism is not really about consistency or the universal character of moral law. In practice those things are ad-hoc, after-the-fact rationalizations. The logic of conservatism is that there is a group of people who are good and superior and Belong, who benefit from the law but don't actually have to obey it because we all know they're The Right Sort Of Person, and a group of people who are bad and immoral and should be punished whether or not they're guilty of anything because they're The Wrong Sort Of People.
It's a defense of a hierarchical social order, where some people are on top by virtue of their superior social status and birth and nature. And they get to command and benefit from the lower classes, who are below them because of their inferior social status and birth and nature. That's the actual moral logic of conservatism. The fact that Andrew Tate doesn't obey the nominal precepts of social conservatism doesn't matter because he isn't supposed to have to - he's a strong man so what he does is right and moral. Similarly, that Trump is a flagrantly immoral cheater, philanderer, fraud, thief etc doesn't matter because it's fundamentally OK for him to do all of those things. It's aristocracy, it's casteism, it's classism, it's hierarchy, it's authoritarianism - it's all of those things - that's the core of social-moral conservatism in actual practice.

(Anonymous) 2023-05-12 11:53 pm (UTC)(link)In most societies women, especially women who have been raised/live in conservative areas, don't have a lot of power. The women who do things like this are intensely afraid, and, as a way of making themselves seem like they have power, they have to victim blame: You wore something bad, so getting assaulted was your fault. I would NEVER wear something like that, therefore it CAN'T happen to me. (it can't, right???)
Oh, men look down on women and are bad to them? Well, I'll support these men who seem to have power so they know I'm not one of THOSE women and they won't abuse me. Because I'm upholding the power structure, so I get more power relative to other women (and can also abuse people beneath me as an outlet for my fear and rage at being considered sub-human).
Leopards are going around eating faces! If I help the leopard, it won't eat MY face.

(Anonymous) 2023-05-13 04:27 am (UTC)(link)I'm convinced part of Andrew Taint's appeal to boys and men is that he gets women despite being incredibly ugly. Of course, it's because he's rich.
I'm the sort of person who honestly finds beauty in everyone. I wouldn't have said this if this guy was a cheerful, kind yogi or something. His attitude is what makes him so fucking hideous.
