It's starting to look like Merrick Garland wanted Trump dead when he ordered the FBI to raid Mar-a-Lago for those classified docs back in August of 2022.
Egalitarianism is the root of the Left; it is an ideology. Conservatism is a folkway, which means we prefer time-proven solutions, which requires measurement by reality not human judgment. This naturally leads to a need for social order on a case-by-case basis anchored in a few general principles instead of One Big Idea.
@amerika@LookBehindYouNowAndThen Imagine a horse with two legs. Doesn’t mean that four legs are what makes a horse a horse. That’s a parts-to-whole fallacy.
The core philosophy of the Left is egalitarianism; this is inherent in their origin both in the ancient times and in Revolutionary France.
“left, in politics, the portion of the political spectrum associated in general with egalitarianism and popular or state control of the major institutions of political and economic life.”

> Egalitarianism is the root of the Left
Are you sure about this?
@realcaseyrollins @LookBehindYouNowAndThen
Yes. Imagine Leftism without egalitarianism.

@amerika @LookBehindYouNowAndThen Interesting, I did not know that.

A couple more links:
https://plato.stanford.edu/entries/egalitarianism/
https://iep.utm.edu/egalitarianism/
These are about the philosophy, but you can see the divisions in Leftism from classical liberal through Communism play out in these arguments.
@amerika @LookBehindYouNowAndThen I do know about #Egalitarianism because it has influenced some denominations of #Christianity unfortunately
