Neo-Liberalism is what I should've said. I don't like any form of Liberalism, but I shouldn't be lumping traditional liberals in with these Marxists. I could be friends with a traditional Liberal, but not a Neo-Liberal — because the latter seek to involve their political beliefs with every aspect of life, and enforce strict guidelines upon their tribe.

I don't think Socialism is appropriate, because it's more narrow than Neo-Liberalism: it requires the government to play a major role in the running of the economy. There are plenty of people who don't support left-wing economics, but support left-wing social policy, and these are the people best labelled as Neo-Liberals.

A big reason Conservatives are afraid of queerfolks, is because most of them are anti-culture: most of them scream at people for being white, call everything racist, want to abolish the police, legalize drugs, etc. They also want special privileges masquerading as equal rights.

I'm the opposite of that — I guess you could call me politically incorrect — which is why Conservatives find me much more tolerable than an SJW, and I could be considered a Conservative of sorts. I also adhere to most American (especially Southern) cultural norms; I'm quite the Nationalist.

A big rule everyone should follow is the Golden Rule, Matthew 7:12

So whatever you wish that others would do to you, do also to them, for this is the Law and the Prophets.

This applies to everyone: straight, gay, cis, trans, religious, non-religious, etc. Even if you disagree with someone, you should treat them the same as you'd want them to treat you — even if they don't obey this rule theirself.

A lot of people on both sides ain't following this rule, and that's a major reason why we're so polarized and can't get no change.
