That's implying that you give a single fuck as to what those degenerate fucktards think, though.
The problem is that too many conservatives care what degenerates think, and self-censor as a result.

Yeah but the thing is the 'pride' is being uplifted by our most powerful companies and politicians, and society is being restructured with legal and fiscal policies that directly effect us as a result. It is a big deal.

If enough people ridicule and resist an authoritarian push, it loses its power. Even in communist states. Solzhenitsyn wrote as much; that had more conservatives stood up against communism rather than cowering with fear, its rise may have been stifled.

Indeed. If it directly affects your livelihood, call it the fuck out. Otherwise, care not what the plebs think.

like the conservatives have censored liberals for centuries?
Why has it always been bow to the more conservative views?
"you shouldn't swear it's impolite" well I think you don't swear enough which is impolite. bow to my views.
why should I give a fuck what a conservative finds offensive?

Why should you give a fuck? Because opposition to conservative positions seem to inevitably lead down into degeneracy. Change for the sake of change, which is basically what liberalism is, eventually obliterates anything beautiful or noble or pure. Conservatism upholds standards. Society cannot function without standards.
What you speak of being suppressed is degeneracy. “Liberalism” as we know it today is an offshoot of Marxism, which only came into existence in the mid 1800s. What conservatives have traditionally fought is the erosion of civilization.
Hate it all you want.

Liberalism is a 10 year old drag kid twerking for middle aged men while crowds of brainwashed masses applaud. They know it's wrong, but are too afraid to go against the hive mind. They feel compelled to conspicuously show just how progressive they are to the detriment of our entire society.

When true freedom of speech is afforded, things inevitably become more conservative. Meaning that degenerate views are actually not the norm.

Lets see, what did conservatives censor? Violence on television? Coarse language? Salacious humor? Scantily clad women? Perverse sexuality?
If the conservatives ever did censor, at least they were right and it was to protect our society and prevent it from getting to the point it has gotten now. The fact that they were too lenient and didn't violently react against the enemy that is the left, is proof that they were too weak to maintain our culture. Now that the left controls things for the most part, they would do well to do everything in their power to crush us. But they can't because they are pussies, and so slowly, it will be taken over once again by its rightful owners.
