That was more intended as a defense of conservatism in general, since the post I was replying to gave the impression that &quot;conservative&quot; was synonymous with &quot;wrong, evil or stupid&quot; - maybe I&#x27;m reading too much into it.<p>Still, humor me. Can you tell me why we should be wasting time with the ever more outlandish demands of the politically correct language police? Can you tell me why we should replace merit-based hiring with some variation of the progressive stack? Can you tell me why we should be expelling people from conferences and open source projects over things they say on their private twitter accounts?<p>Because when I see someone advocating for &quot;intersectionality&quot; those are the kinds of suggestions they seem to come up with.
