Did everyone get burnt out on conspiracy theories? I notice it's the last category to go postless.

Every criticism against "Judeo-Christian", white, patriarchic capitalism is a conspiracy theory post.
Carry on.

The quotes were a personal touch.
I doubt so many people would oppose religion if they understood the Protestant Reformation a little better, and knew that the social gospel lead to the Balfour Declaration being fulfilled. Catholicism doesn't emphasize rugged individualism at all.
Hannity and O'Reilly are well-behaved progressives.

Well there is a strain of conservatism that has progressive goals. And it is associated with Catholicism/Distributism.

Teddy Roosevelt was bonkers. For all of his macho cowboy attitude, he thought it was a bright idea to bust up the railroad, steel, and oil trusts. What kind of cowboy attacks land for New England capital?
I never liked distributism. It encourages people to spread out for the sake of dispersion. It's Edmund Burke's "small is beautiful" conservatism gone haywire.
Not that I think hyperdense population is healthy, but when people can take the excuse of expecting people to spread out, that means social alienation becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy. Alienators can say people have to spread out anyway, so there's no problem alienating people to do so.

Could be a conspiracy that there's no conspiracy posts. At any ways, not really a QA thing so to speak. No threads in there cuz no one's made on in there yet =P
Locking thread.
