Conservatism fails to conserve anything of value

Perhaps that's because of the hypocrisy of those who claim to be "conservative" that led you to believe this.

Perhaps.

But it could also be that conservatism is just not a very worthwhile ideological position/political stance. Conservatism seems very weak to me, and prone to always just espousing what their (nominal) opposition espoused a few years earlier.

IOW: They fail to conserve anything because they constantly give ground. I've seen this in the political class, the punditry, even in the people themselves.

I guess the bottom line is that I have no faith in conservatism, nor in those who choose to identify as conservatives, because - having been born in the mid-1980s - I have watched for more than 30 years as the conservatives fail to conserve anything again and again and again and again.

I don't see what value as 'conservative' position is if you can't even 'conserve' the ability to advocate for the continued existence and security of your kin, let alone actually achieving that kind of security. No offense if you be a conservative, mind you, but I simply don't see it as having value going forward.

Much like Christianity. Maybe it had worth at some point in time, I don't know for certain, and I don't particularly care. All that I care about is that right now, it is not acting in a beneficial sense with regards to my goals, and actively works against those goals in several regards, so I don't have much time for it.

Right, they're all fucking hypocrites. It's not conservatism you hate, just the lack of action. You would prefer a Sulla to march into D.C. and charges of treason to be made to every politician there, executions, another Trail of Tears, crucifixes lining the roads. And fuck Christianity. Kill all the non-whites, achieve biological immortality, explore outer space. Excelsior!
