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.

You make a good point. Liberalism, in the modern sense of the term, only works as long as there is a strong, healthy conservative society to attack and mock and degrade. Under those conditions, the liberal can tell himself that he is the daring rebel, fighting against the forces of restriction and conformity. This is, of course, a lie. The first thing the liberal does when he gains power is impose his views on everyone else by force. Once traditional society has been completely broken down by liberals, who have nothing to put in its place, everything falls apart and liberals are scattered in confusion as anarchy reigns.

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.

do you just parrot back whatever 4chins told you?
seeing as most peoples views don't change much after 35 years old. And the majority of the population is over 35. Just by numbers "conservative" views are going to seem more popular.
It doesn't make them right it just makes them the majority.
Showing a flushing toilet was almost censored out of the original "Psycho" movie. Is a flushing toilet degenerate?
In "I Love Lucy" Lucille Balls pregnancy had to be edited around and couldn't be talked about. As showing or even talking about a pregnant woman was "Too liberal". Would you consider that "degenerate"?
You believe your views are "conservative" but to a 1950's person you would be the "liberal degenerate"
We are all liberals and we are all conservatives it just depends on the time and culture you are in.
It's really amazing this site isn't full of Mulsims since they have the most conservative views. Women shouldn't even be allowed in public right? A woman in public is "too degenerate"

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.

Censor violence. And lynch anyone that hates violence.
Makes perfect sense.
