Conservatism vs Liberalism
Conservatism and Liberalism are the main Social theories within Political Philosophy. Whilst Conservatism favours social tradition Liberalism favours social change and individual liberty.
Watch as George and John debate each theory and look at their strengths and weaknesses.

Sadly, this is now a complete and utter opposite even as von Mises noted in his Liberalism; the Liberal term has now the opposite meaning of the one it had in the past which was classical liberalism stemmed on un intervened individual freedom free from any external especially authoritarian pressures. Now, liberal is that one who is willing to use the power of the government to pursue a liberal goal. Since then, conservatism as it seems to me moved slowly but moved. It is now the conservatives who favor freedom from government power freedom in economic lives and freedom from social enforced change.

According to this video I'm liberal in the sense that I stress the importance of being an individual that makes their own choices, but that doesn't describe how the democratic party operates at all in the US. It's all about group identity. You are bullied and/or canceled if you disagree with the group's ideals. I hated it when I heard Biden say that you're not black if you vote Republican despite the long history of racism in the democratic party.

Liberals actually believe in societal or collective "responsibility", and are in favor of increased govt. control of your everyday life, whereas the conservative believes in individual responsibility and less govt. control. The liberal may have their desire to be "individualistic," however, and as you stated, if your "individual" views and beliefs are contrary to the collective (eg. the mainstream media dominated left), you stand a good chance of being ridiculed, cancelled, etc. Who gets cancelled at a higher rate?

@0:38 the change of tonality LOL homie was creeped out after that "I see" @2:23 my new favorite activity anywho, i do disagree though in regards to liberalism having the potential to separate us as a collective society. Sure, we may be different in certain aspects (because of that freedom to choose and thus freedom to walk our own path i.e be OURSELVES), but fundamentally we are one. On a more spiritual and also biological sense. The human populace is the populace we can most relate to. Also, there is bound to be shared common beliefs among groups of people. Is it bad to be divided into groups? No, because if everyone were alike, that would be rather boring and bizarre. Everyone is, thankfully, different in different regards. In regards to culture, for many it is not important. Connecting on a deeper sense may be more important to that population, and that's fine. Whereas the "cultured" individuals (aka conservatism) feel culture is what brings them together, while the liberalists have different values of what it means to be connected and maintain that connection by different, equally valid means :)

Liberalism and conservatism in regards to "politicians"oddly enough changes from region to region,even within a country and its states as any one can have a foundation or core of an idea/belief,but it changes from person to person as ones opinions,education, comprehensive understanding,perspective,situations and beliefs dont always perfectly align with these core values.Example:In the United States Conservatives and Liberals are not the same as in England nor France.Many English Conservatives would sound like an American liberal at times and oddly enough their relationships tend to be better between the opposing sides (in the west) than those who they align with or are assumed to see eye to eye.In the States, a Texas conservative and a New York conservative are so different and the Citizens have a serious lack of being able to identify the differences..majority just pick s side without even being fully aware or knowledgeable of who they are choosing to represent them.The most important choice of a citizen (especially of the United States) is to remain in the Center, because whether you like it or not as an American you tend to be a bit conservative and as well a bit Liberal by default. If you don't remain at the center or moderate,you actually do lose your value and now work for the politicians because you are sided,rather than refusing to be moved without action and representation ,they now have to work for you/your vote,it creates leverage.Situations do change and sometimes the current state of any nation calls for different ideas to be put into actions,as too much of anything is never good.Even in my reply,I'm pretty sure someone's opinion will be different,but if they choose to be moderate they can stand in the middle by using their basic awareness and communication skills to see both perspectives leading to negotiation and solved problems.
theres liberalism vs conservatism and then theres radicalized liberalism vs radicalized conservatism which is what creates the divide between both parties
I am a conservative but I do agree with some motives of liberalism, I respect everyone who claim to be "mid-left, mid-right and far-right". However I do not agree most things a far-left person says. (I would like to exclude economical ideologies such as communism from this argument because I do believe that a Nationalist half communist government could work, anyway) I believe that a countries tradition should be kept and all immigrants that arrive to the country s should try to adapt the culture of the Nation. I do believe in the theory of replacement without the most extreme belief. (Coming from an Immigrant, i believe that conservation values are very important and that individual freedom should not mean the freedom to "wear skirts or make up as a man" or "be gay") I believe in my religious and tradition values and I do my best to adapt to the tradition of the country I immigrated to, so that they can keep their conservative tradition values and not be replaced by my 3rd party beliefs.
I am proud conservative
What if you like both sides
Yea this a good video. This just confirms that I am a conservative
I agree with the commenter who stated that this post seems to have confused liberalism with libertarianism. Furthermore, I do not agree that conservatism is a philosophy, thinking that it is more like a mental illness, delusion, or form of denial. Conservatism is also an exercise in futility. Keepers of the status quo; proponents of some non-existent bygone era; all are lost in a self-induced pipe dream. The only aspect of reality that can be relied on is change. As Lenin said, sometimes not much happens for decades, then a decade can happen in a year. That happens mostly because folks are fearful of change and some will attempt to move heaven and earth to thwart and deny it, and then the levee breaks and change floods over us. 2024 or 2025 is shaping up to be that kind of flood. Learn to embrace it and swim with the flow, there is no real alternative besides denial.

“I see” scared me 😂
it starts by accurately implying that political philosophy can be divided into liberalism and conservatism. after that it strikes out in every way. what it describes as liberalism is actually libertarianism (if you define libertarianism as I do, that is "conservatism with an emphasis on individual liberty"). what it describes as the political philosophy of conservatism is actually a description of people who are psychologically conservative, i.e. have a conservative personality. (for example, people who dress conservatively.) the video doesn't say what the true aspects of liberalism and conservatism as political philosophies are. the primary characteristics of conservatism as a political philosophy are: -freedom -judeo-christian principles -e pluribus unum -and "do your duty." the primary characteristics of liberalism are: -equity (AKA equality of outcome) -secular humanism -diversity (AKA multiculturalism) -and "follow your heart." I would say that the secondary values of the philosophy of conservatism are capitalism and Constitutional representative democracy. and the secondary values of liberalism are socialism and Athenian democracy. again, the mistakes this video makes is first to conflate political philosophy with personality. and second, to mistake libertarianism for liberalism.

Politic-ing has to be done, there is no way to avoid it. Language and the undefinable terms we use are the source of the difficulties we face as humans. We can find solid definitions of the terms Liberal and Conservative but if you ask an individual, they will each have a unique interpretation of what it means, to them, to be one. Life's not black or white, and so, firm grips on your own beliefs are breaking points.

@Eyezayah It's definitely a trip. I politely disagree with the notion of an absolute anything so I do deny absolute black and white. Greyness implies a binary mixture of black and white while we see there are more than two sides of every issue. So I think of issues as a mixture of a spectrum of multiple views blending to make all sorts of colors when combined. In the end what I don't believe in is answers because answers would be final. The best humanity comes up with are solutions that minimize problems. Solutions are more flexible and can be replaced when a better solution comes along. That's my philosophy anyway and you git what ya paid fer it.🤠 Take care out there.
Conservatism emphasize the tradition and common beliefs. It says that we should hold on to the tradition because they are built up in thousands of years. On the other hand liberalism doesn't care about tradition, even says that personal freedom is more important than anything and this can lead to demolition of traditions and cause drastic changes. We also know that conservatives are totally against any rapid changes.

A Conservative is dying on their feet instead of living on their knees. It's not that Conservatives don't like social or cultural change. We don't like facts and truth ignored or removed just because someone says it should be, or because it makes people uncomfortable or hurts their feelings. Conservatives are reasonable, liberalism is complete idiocy.( Especially because the people pushing liberalism have never lived a day in an actually society of communism or socialism) Conservatives don't agree with using abortion as birth control. Conservatives believe in becoming a contributing member of society, instead of member grasping for everything we have worked for, while doing nothing. Conservatives believe liberalism spits on the very people who fought and died for the very freedom liberals mock and try to destroy. Conservatives believe in less government, while liberalism believes in government control. Conservatives believe in working hard, taking accountability for oneself, while liberalism believes in pointing fingers and deflecting blame. Liberalism will destroy this country from within, and when America falls there is no where to run too and there is no where to start over. Liberalism is the lie that things will get better, and I promise you they will be the first to cut and run with no where to go. They will sacrifice thier freedom for security and live on their knees, destroying the greatest country to ever be formed. Conservatives are fighting to preserve America.
As one becomes older they realize the things they wasted and naturally become more conservative of the things remaining especially the things they have worked to achieve. However, someone who never works to acheive anything will always ask for more of those giving !

The liberalism described in this video is my conservatism, almost to a tee. See, I believe that rugged individualism and personal freedom are the most important traditional values of the USA, and by American power and influence, other western countries as well. I always voted Liberal because I thought the definition given here was true. Upon paying further attention, I realized that what we are offered under left-wing parties nowadays is something radically different. Freedom is mocked, collectivism is praised and individualism ridiculed. Freedom of speech, freedom to defend one's self, freedom of assembly are all attacked by proponents of the modern left. The modern right seeks to disassociate from people who believe in racist or other discriminatory ideologies, is against race (or other immutable characteristic)-based categorization of people known as identity politics, and is vehemently against the erosion of freedom of speech colloquially refereed to as cancel culture. Due to the radical shift in recent times (or clarification of what the agenda was all along), I have found that conservatism better describes and brings about my beliefs centred around personal freedom.

It is interesting for me, an American, to watch this because we define liberalism and conservatism very differently. In the U.S. conservatives fight to conserve the constitution as much as any cultural values. Our constitution is almost as old as our country, and much of our culture revolves around individual liberty. Those liberties are the fruit of our constitution, so our liberties, and our constitution, are tightly associated here. One of those liberties is the right to keep your own property, including, our incomes. People on the other side, whatever name you wish to refer to them by, liberals, leftists, progressives, etc... believe it is the right of the government, and a benefit, for government to tax people, from which money is given by the government to whoever they decide needs it. This behavior by the government is not described in the constitution, and charity is assumed by conservatives to be the responsibility of individuals, not the government.

I disagree. To reword what you said to show what I think it is: It is interesting for me, an American, to watch this because we define liberalism and conservatism very differently. In the U.S. conservatives fight to conserve cultural values. Our constitution is almost as old as our country, and much of our culture revolves around individual liberty. Those liberties are the fruit of our constitution, so our liberties, and our constitution, are tightly associated here. One of those liberties is the right to keep your own property, including, our incomes. People on the other side, whatever name you wish to refer to them by, liberals, leftists, progressives, etc... believe that cultural values are not as important of a view to craft policy, instead to view it from a spectrum of Oppression and liberating individuals from institutions of Oppression. Your contrasting ideas @deezynar are not apples to apples comparison. Liberals obviously start at the same starting point as we conservatives do, and this the constitution. our differences are different on a pychological political axis. Civilization vs Barbarism. Wheras liberals think on terms of oppression versus liberation of oppression. You are falsely interpreting them as antithetical to what we think is important for a cohesive nation on strong patriotism.

@@jimba6486 Liberals wish to change the constitution. You say that both sides start at the same starting point, the constitution, which is true, but conservatives wish to keep the constitution as is, at least mostly. Most conservatives would love an amendment outlawing abortion. But Leftists would change it significantly. First of all, they'd mutilate the first amendment by adding "hate speech" clauses. And they'd just repeal the second. They'd make abortion, homosexuality, bisexuality, pansexuality, transexuality, and every other type deviancy you can think of, would all be constitutionally guaranteed rights. Of course, they'd pass an equal rights amendment that would claim to give females equal rights to men, even though the constitution does not currently differentiate between men and women. Leftists would probably make drug use a constitutionally protected right as well. Leftism has mutated over time. Originally, it was just about being against capitalism, but over time it has embraced moral deviancy as firmly as Marxism. So, in a way, you, and I, agree that culture is one of the central issues here. The changes that Leftists wish to make would absolutely have cultural ramifications, and they are motivated to change our culture by changing our constitution. My original comment said that conservatives in the U.S. "fight to conserve the constitution as much as any cultural values. Those liberties are the fruit of our constitution, so our liberties, and our constitution, are tightly associated here." My point being that culture and constitution are directly linked. There is one more issue that neither of us mentioned. There are people on the Left who are actively working to destroy the United States, not just turn it into a paradise for drug addicts, and sexual deviants. They believe that running it into the ground, destroying our economic structure as well as our morals, then they hope to come in afterward and create what they hope will be a Marxist paradise, but would actually be a living hell on earth. Antifa, and Black Lives Matter, are both working towards that goal.

What about if you don't believe that you MUST hold tradition and cutom as the most important required things to be happy. And instead you just believe that whatever leads to making you happy and healthy and isn't harmful (which can be anything that leads to positive outcome and not sadistic harmful) feelings) is important instead.

Liberal argument: communities are made up of individuals. Help an individual and you help the community
Have you ever thought that maybe the civilizations that succeeded do so because they adapted true principles about human nature that lead to social welfare, and passed those on through tradition? Like taboos against sexual promiscuity. Prior to anti-biotics and contraceptives, abstinence and monogamy protected from deadly disease pandemics like AIDS, Syphilis, and also TB though that isn't a STD it was often had by poor prostitutes. Societies that had strong taboos against promiscuity had less single parent households, which was and is the biggest indicator of future criminal activity. They had less poverty, which meant society could spend more time on Philosophy, medicine. Research. If you investigate every taboo held by conservatism you will find evolutionary advantages those taboos would yield historically. Progressive Liberals now tend to make changes based on how they, or someone else will feel... not based on evidence or even really a plan.

People will be promiscuous regardless of you make them taboo or not. It’s ironic how you complain about single motherhood and criminal activity when abortion rights can easily prevent these as long as we make them accessible. But conservatives are not interested in preventing poverty or crime as much as they are interested into punishing women for being sexually expressive.

That's exactly how mordern women operate. They go on lavish dates get ran through in their 20s then ask you to settle in their 30s and to commit. That's the problem. Why should I accept a women in her decline when she rejected me in her prime ? I rather have a traditional mother who can raise my children.

Theoretically, this is perhaps true however in practice there are enormous differences in how these ideologies behave across western societies. Liberals seem to favor government control, and desire more stringent policies regarding laws that they believe will benefit their viewpoint. Conservatives almost exclusively promote minimal governmental involvement and stand for individual freedom, as long as it doesn't interfere with anyone else's freedoms. To reinforce this observation, conservatives are more focused on strengthening the nuclear family and reinforcing the role of parental guidance while the liberals are focused on collectivism, wanting to assign the state with more authority over children than the parents, via learning institutions, often trying to incorporate their values into school curriculums to indoctrinate children into their ideological views. Freedom of speech, freedom of press, freedom to remain open during a pandemic and freedom to decide what irreversible medical procedures are performed on them are all examples of these same overall views on the part of liberals and conservatives.
