  • https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liberalism

    Conservatism depends on the context within the nation, but Anglosphere conservatives at a minimum work within a liberal democratic context. Everything listed under ideological liberalism is something “conservatives” used to claim as their values.

    Used to. That “conservatives” are openly embracing fascism as their “third way” is reflected in that very Wikipedia article which has been radically changed from it’s state even from last year as I recall.

    That the article has been changed to claim the “three main ideologies” of the past century as “liberalism, socialism, and conservativism” is some straight up scary revisionist nonsense. Just ask yourself which of those three fascism belongs to and you’ll understand why.

    Churchill was a Conservative. The Australian Liberal Party are conservatives, etc etc etc.

    In other words, there is the ideological definition of liberal, of which conservativism is supposed to be a branch, and there’s the casual usage that means “right winger” and that is contextual and rapidly coming to mean fascist.
















  • It didn’t catch on because it’s stupid on multiple levels, from infrastructure engineering to realpolitik. Japan as a nation is just desperate for energy independence and pretending the hydrogen will be sourced from the expensive electrolysis and not cheap natural gas refinement was a way to get free government money.

    They convinced themselves that all the petrostates, which includes America and Russia, would just abandon their current economic advantage to pay them billions of dollars to rebuild their entire vehicle fuel infrastructure, since they would be the industry leaders and the only major source of engineering knowhow.
