1. No. Nobody is stuck in the traditions they were born into. And mixed couples likely have different traditions and that is fine. The child would have something called culturalgenesis. The combination of both the ways of their parents into a different way. In group homes or foster care, it is up to you to choose what you want to do. And of course we should have the freedom to modify our traditions. Slavery and Nazism were once ‘traditions’ and those were some of the worst evils known to man. Sometimes tradition needs to change. As for traditions one may no longer find valuable, it is useful to separate the reason for a tradition from the actual practice itself. You can apply the reason for it to many different things, even if you abandon the actual practice because you no longer believe in it. It is your perogative to change your mind or dislike something.
2. Traditions need to be adapted to the modern times. The world has changed. We cannot be as we were in the past. It is about keeping the reason for the tradition intact and basing things on that, not neccessarily about an exact practice.

Much obliged.

Because when you combine the principle of decentralisation with some things, people may advocate for stuff they would never otherwise advocate for.

1. Of course! Conservatism is usually a way of life, but there is ideological conservatism too that varies quite a lot.
2. It is a bit more complicated. It means to conserve the ways that your peoples historically had, not a specific universal way.
3. Of course. Hate is never welcome.

This is a good one. 🤣

Yeah. True.

Nazis are banned in this community as are any other extremists. See you in a week!

Welcome aboard and thank you!

It is good to have you! Everybody is welcome here. Welcome aboard!

1. Yeah. They do. And that is a good thing. Extremism should be banned no matter what it is and hosting on an instance that blocks these things means I chose the correct instance. This community will not be associated with them anyways.
2. Thank you for the information. I will put this to good use of what sources not to use when citing information. I largely use one leftist source, one centrist source, and one rightist source to avoid blindspots. Authenticity and accuracy is ultimately what matters, not an ideological spin.
3. I respect that. Still, really, thank you.

Edited because I originally completely messed up my wording.

To be frank, I would rather have no posts than make the world or the Fediverse a worse place. And I quite like the Fediverse… it is one of the best social media networks ever created! I want to improve upon it to the best of my ability. Furthermore, I will enforce basic decency and respect.

Edited to make our standards clearer.

I may take you up on that if moderation ever gets too difficult for me to handle alone. Much obliged for the offer!

Edited to add I may take you up on the offer.

I respect your opinion. Have a blessed rest of your day, evening, or night. Just note, we are not Fascists. Fascism is banned in this community as that is extremist.

Edited to add the note.

No. I am a conservationalist AND a conservative. Conservationalism can be a part of conservatism, which means to conserve. The principle is simple: We cannot use the land if we destroy the land and He commanded us to shepherd His world, not destroy it.

Edited because I said conservationalism twice… lol.

1. Yes. The Earth should not be ruined.
2. I agree justice needs to be preserved, but I mean the principle of justice. Not the current justice system. Fair and speedy trials with the assumption of innocence until proven guilty.
3. How? Tradition does not mean no gay marriage or women in the kitchen. That is backwards thinking and throughout history, many cultures had different traditions. Mine did not treat women like that, so…
4. I mean, it is if you look at figures like Theodore Roosevelt. He was big on antitrust and conservationalism!
5. Slavery and Nazism were some of the most evil things in the world and those were kept in the name of ‘tradition’. Some things need to change. It is good those are gone.
6. Kinda is if you follow the orders of Him and shepherd His world. He never said to destroy it… He actually said the opposite.

Edited to add 6.

The institutional traditions of being a shepherd of this world instead of destroying His creation and uphold justice. That and religion. Regardless, we all live here and if we mess up this world with pollutants, destroy ecosystems, or smash justice as if it means nothing at all… I shudder to think what would happen. We already have caused unfathomable damage by deforestation, throwing mercury in the water that poisons the fish, and hunting entire species to extinction en masse.

Edited to say the damage done to the environment.

It can be. For example, I am for conserving things such as the world we live in, conserving fair competition, conserving justice, and conserving traditional values. Do not pollute, do not allow monopolies to form, do not ruin justice, do not be so rigid in tradition we that we refuse to change even harmful ‘traditions’, and do not destroy the world we all live in for this and our next lives. It is just many uses it as an excuse for vitriol.
