Also do you believe that 'conservatism' could have existed if there were no 'liberalism' or vice versa?Before liberalism, all was shades of conservatism, which probably had plenty of internal texture and variation. After the French Revolution, conservatives were those who arose to preserve the best of what had come before.
It depends upon type of conservatism. Social conservatism is about traditions and are beared mostly by our grandpa's generation in India (beared by current generation in Islamic stated).
It sometimes halts the social progress but sometime ends up preventing the rot of the society. It depends upon intensity. A very intense form say opposes love marriages, a to a less degree, opposes LGBT relations and a least intense version will just ask youths to work to earn money than wasting life in alcohol and sex.
Obviously, last one is a sensible "liberalism" labeled as "conservatism" by unruly savages who equate being useles with being progressive.
National conservatism is about pure national identity and espouses strong sense of nationalism. Like CCP, BJP, Nazi Party, Ba'ath parties and Bolivarian parties. Since America doesn't have that sort of national identity, it's nationalists are just Christian social conservatives and not nationalist conservatives.
Dont you think Nationalism , Aristocracy , Capitalism could also be the pillar of any sensible conservatism ?
Depends. If conservatism is Islamic, nationalism will take a backseat, aristocracy will be supported over democracy but capitalism may or may not be there.
In Christians meanwhile nationalism will hold a strong sense since they believe that countries were built by God.
In centrist cultures of east Asia and India, conservatism itself will be a result of nationalism and not vice versa. Democracy, dictatorship, capitalism and socialism; everything will be justified for the of sake of national pride and nationalism.
I believe the actual rot arises when every boundary carefully assembled by years of empirical experience is erased just for the sake of breaking traditions.
That's why wokeism has become a pain in @$$ of everyone. They want change for the sake of change than any purposeful reforms and do everything like internationalism and revolution for the sake of looking cool (and are exploited by their corrupted politicians, like INC in India or Democrats in US).
Thread by @maidros78: 1) It is important to realise the depths of internationalism of the Left. The Left was made to be internationalist, haditly rejected national boundaries, passions and thoughts in favour of an internationalist underpinning right from…

The real "liberals" have been clubbed with conservatives and "centre-right wingers" long ago and the left community is strictly composed by idiots with frustrated minds. Quite soon, little left sensible people among them too will be labeled as Nazis and thrown out.
Political concept takes aim at those in the political centre
