Conservative is the new counter culture

I've personally changed to conservative on several issues, but there are things I'm always going to be liberal about.

Hollywood style liberals get media attention, and a college environment is Peak Liberal because it's a group perennially between supported 100% by parents but not yet exposed to the "real" workaday world that is most of adult life.

In the business world, life remains very conservative. This guy in the video starts with several false premises and runs with them as if they're true, resulting in a niche-appeal product serving those who feel that conservatism is an outsider, beseiged minority. The video doesn't discuss culture in a way that's useful outside validating a niche audience. This isn't sociology, it's more like clickbait.

It's about as disingenuous as the annual "War against Christmas" story that sells like funnel cake despite Christianity being the dominant religion in America for its entire history including now.

For conservatism to be considered a counter-culture, it would have to emerge from outside of, and challenge the dominant culture. In America, conservatism has been, and remains a dominant aspect of much of our culture. It's going through a sea change now, mainly because the dominant Baby Boom generation is aging up and attriting away, and that generation's norms and values aren't a viable off-the-shelf product in today's "market" for young conservatives. It would be more accurate to say that modern conservatism is struggling to retain market share and appeal to a new generation of consumers, than to try to define it as a counterculture.

I can believe that conservatives are more attractive. Just look at the rallies for liberal ideas and you'll see very large ladies shouting about how every body is beautiful. I don't think I have to tell you that this promotes unhealthy practises ergo making people less attractive.

Generation z is simultaneously the most conservative and the most liberal -- they are, to sum it up, the most polarised. Income's the most unequal. Political parties of the soft-left and soft-right persuasion are losing ground -- witness the near-death of Labour in Scotland or the rise of Syriza in Greece. In the media, the centrist networks are losing viewers to their more extreme counterparts. We are segregating by politics. Our economies are getting more and more geographically lopsided.

Honestly I'm really interested to see how this all plays out lol because all the universities are liberal as hell.

All of this crowd just now labeling themselves this way or that way, based on politics of the moment, are absolutely sheep to me, incapable of thinking for themselves or seeing the bigger picture, and they will wishy-wash again in the future following whatever comes next. Think for yourselves people!

This is certainly an interesting phenomenon. Is there a word for the feminist take over and permeation of all forms of media and government?

Conservative in the U.S. significantly outnumber liberals and have for quite some time.
