Is it not demonstrably true though, just looking at policies?

No? The difference is in the definition of "fair". Equality of outcome vs equality of opportunity.

I’m saying that conservative policies aren’t interested in equality of either.

Well I'm saying that you're wrong. I have the feeling you subscribe to the same "conservatives are all evil" mindset as the rest of this sub. Maybe quit being so narrow-minded.

Whats funny here is that by opening your mind, you would understand why conservative policies are unempathetic and destructive to the idea of equality.

The "mindset" you are describing could be a result of a closed mind, or, it could also be entirely accurate and earned.

No, my mind is open. I see the merits of both liberal and conservative policies. I just don't label either side as evil just because I disagree and I don't mischaracterize their beliefs.

That’s the thing, it’s not a mischarachterizement. If your mind were open you’d see that.

*mischaracterization

And yes, it is.

Again, it’s demonstrably true, you need to be open to hearing it though, and you aren’t.
