Series: Conservatives of Lemmy: What do you think has gone awry in modern society and how might it be constructively addressed? (lemmy.world)

I'd like to start a series seeking viewpoints from across the political spectrum in general discussions about modern society and where everyone stands on what is not working, what is working, and where we see things going in the future.

Please answer in good-faith and if you don't consider yourself conservative or "to the right", please reserve top-level discussion for those folks so it reaches the "right" folks haha.

Please don't downvote respectful content that is merely contrary to your political sensibillities, lets have actual discourse and learn more about each other and our respective viewpoints.

Will be doing other sides soon but lets start with this and see where it takes us.

Pretty much nothing you said is conservative except your views on immigration.

Immigrants are also not unskilled workers, a lot of countries only accept people with degrees or useful skills unless they are refugees.

At lot of left leaning parties historically have been the most against immigration also, but I'm voting right now.

I do think the left really fuck up with how they think the government should control a lot of the market. The government waste money horrifically.

Everyone on this website seems to think I'm die hard right winger.

I'm not against immigration overall (I'm for it in many ways) I'm just strongly against how immigration is being used currently.

That's the thing, viewpoints are so skewed here that as a Biden supporter (not just "better than Trump" but actually supporting Biden) I'm called a right wing conservative.

Name one left leaning party.
