- gunfighthacksaw 5y agoGermany and most of Central Europe are quite culturally conservative. They spend a lot of effort ensuring a stable and orderly society, up to and including prosecuting inflammatory speech and support for causes against the national/public interest. Many Americans would see this as socialism, but the motivation is not equality, its stability and continuity of the status quo: ergo conservatism. It’s not a system I could live under because I’m not super good at fitting in with people, but I see it’s merits.
