You believe in promoting a strong national identity and traditional values to foster social cohesion and protect cultural heritage.
National Conservatism is a political ideology that emphasizes the preservation and promotion of national interests and cultural identity over individualism and global integration. It is a variant of conservatism that values the traditions, heritage, and established social order within a nation. National conservatives believe in the importance of national sovereignty and often advocate for restrictions on immigration, protectionist economic policies, and a focus on law and order.
The roots of National Conservatism can be traced back to the 19th century, during the rise of nationalism…

How does your culture shape who you are, and what would you want future generations to remember about it?
@9HHJVBG2yrs2Y
I want future generations to appreciate different cultures and the life lessons they can bring to one's experience. Along with empathy to see that we all have different life experiences but we are all here with one purpose, to live alongside the planet we were born to.
@9HHJLKX2yrs2Y
My culture made me aware of the difference between my home nation to that of where I am now. And in that due to varying historical past shape who they are and their character that makes them so different. Essentially, the awareness aspect of acknowledging or knowing what makes an individual who they are.
@9HHJVPXIndependent2yrs2Y
I believe kindness and respect go farther than infinity.
@9HHK7G82yrs2Y
Culture shapes the person you are, and it does so by putting you in certain situations that only you're culture understands. I want future generations to see what each of their cultures did and what they can do to improve.
@ISIDEWITH2yrs2Y
What is a common misconception about your country that you wish to correct?
@9JGSGZC2yrs2Y
That we are a clean country when we are very dirty.
@HelcovichEmireRepublican5mos5MO
Yes, thanks to those libtards especially those promoting LGBTQ and deviance to traditional family and gender roles, we are becoming a disgusting country.
@9JGSMM52yrs2Y
Willingness to accept other culture without any judgements
Some cultures are objectively worse than others, such as the cultures of the American Indians and the African Zulus. The American Indians, for example, hacked women and children to death in front of their husbands and fathers, drank their blood, and proudly displayed their scalps, which they viciously cut off with their tomahawks. The African Zulus were always at war with each other and slaughtered entire villages, burning their victims alive and then eating them. Those cultures were objectively savage and barbaric cultures. Western Christian cultures were objectively far, far better and more civilised.
“Western Christian cultures were objectively far, far better and more civilised”
The Crusades - Siege of Ma'arra, rape of women, enslavement of children
Spanish Inquisition - Strappado, the rack, auto-da-fé
Salem Witch Trials - Pressing
Yes, every group does do something wrong. I am not saying Westerners are infallible, I am saying that in culture they were far less barbaric than Indians & Zulus and other cultures (which, I will clarify, was not because of racial or biological reasons, but cultural reasons. I am no racist.) But, it's interesting you would bring up those examples, because
(1) The Crusades were defensive wars against piratical Muslim extremists who were pillaging and enslaving innocent people (little known fact)
(2) The Salem Witch Trials, while tragic, came about because people literally believed the girls punished had sold their souls to the devil and were wrecking havoc on the community. If anyone deserved the death penalty, surely people who did that did! (I am not saying they were actually witches, this is just what they believed).
That we're all raving morons who like to murder and mutilate children and think men can get pregnant. It's our leaders who are that way, not our people.
@HelcovichEmireRepublican5mos5MO
Huh? Are you talking about transgenderism? Please explain what you mean by "we're all raving morons who like to murder and mutilate children"
@9JGSHNYRepublican2yrs2Y
That all who lean conservative lean in that way on all issues.
@ISIDEWITH2yrs2Y
If you were explaining your country's values to someone from a different culture, which value would you highlight and why?
@9J5GKQX2yrs2Y
Religious traditionalists. Prone to tribalism and grifting due to age and lack of education. Anti progressive.
@9J5GMSD2yrs2Y
Freedom because it's the premise of our constitution and Declaration of Independence
@9J5GCSS2yrs2Y
Freedom because everyone from every class just wants to do their own thing and not hear backlash from others.
@ISIDEWITH2yrs2Y
How do you think national pride can contribute to a community's response to crisis or tragedy?
@9KW9C3TRepublican2yrs2Y
It can lead to the downfall of a nation or to the upgrade of a nation
@9KW97GW2yrs2Y
I think for sure the unity part of it can help us cope with a crisis and not freak out and explode into riots and much more.
@9KW95YT2yrs2Y
I think it opts for less diversity within a community, and intense nationalism isn't always a good thing. I believe people shouldn't be obsessed with their country or country leaders and learn to live and think individually.
@ISIDEWITH2yrs2Y
How has the discussion of immigration policies and their impact on national identity affected your view of your country?
@9HHJNNDJustice party member 2yrs2Y
its sad we try so hard to make peoples life even harder because they wanted a better shot in life
@9HHLT6LWomen’s Equality2yrs2Y
The middle class is required to support the rich and lower class. It isn't fair to the middle class who are also working to survive, but have to support other groups besides their families.
@9HHLWSN2yrs2Y
It is divided and that is why no one can agree on anything
@9HHLNXK2yrs2Y
I think that this has increased National Conservatism since the entire idea of America is that everyone can be here and providing a conservation of Nationality.
@ISIDEWITH2yrs2Y
Can the pursuit of a common national good be balanced with the rights of the individual, and if so, how?
To show that everyone is different and not the same but treat each other the same to get a better view or take it or leave it.
I mean yes and no, it depends on how everything is going to go in the end.
yes, Individual Freedom, The birth of our great nation was inspired by the bold declaration that our individual,God-given liberties should be preserved against government intrusion. ...
@ISIDEWITH2yrs2Y
What aspect of your country’s history do you feel most influences its present-day culture?
@9HHM4M6Progressive2yrs2Y
negative history such as slavery, war, and genocide
@HelcovichEmireRepublican5mos5MO
That is such negativity and pessimism. Pretending that America hasn't moved on from these past horros is awful and not a good way of thinking. We have moved on from these things, they are a thing of the past.
@9HHMF3T2yrs2Y
To focus on a conservative figure, Donald Trump undoubtedly influenced our present-day culture. Though he has allegedly committed crimes, his actions, political support, and presidential personality has made a cultural impact on America today.
@9HHM2GD2yrs2Y
our countries history impacts present day culture immensely
@ISIDEWITH2yrs2Y
How do pop culture and media in your country reinforce or challenge national stereotypes?
@9HTN6TS2yrs2Y
people are too soft in my opinion because they get offended over something that does not even include them
@HelcovichEmireRepublican5mos5MO
I hate political correctness, it's so stupid how easily people get offended over small things these days, everyone is way too overly sensitive.
@9HTP9BNConstitution2yrs2Y
Pop culture and media make National Conservatism look bad, by weaponizing the idea of Capitalism and purposefully misconstruing the idea of economics and painting libertarians as evil, when, in reality, the liberal, progressive, social ideal is what will ultimately lead to the destruction of society. They also hate on traditional values and family life, which is a destructive idea for our society as a whole.
@HelcovichEmireRepublican5mos5MO
Well said, the modern day liberal/progressive movements are destroying our society. LGBTQ rights, racial quotas, "diversity" (I put it in quotes because diversity isn't bad, but forcing diversity into businesses and schools is awful), feminism, etc
In our country, we invite famous people to express their opinions and opinions about certain stereotypes on social media. But they also remind people to look at stereotypes on a case-by-case basis and to be open and receptive to new things.
@ISIDEWITH2yrs2Y
Should a nation prioritize its own citizens first, or is there a moral obligation to consider the impact on the global community?
@9HFSC2G2yrs2Y
A nation should prioritize its own citizens first as it is held accountable for its own constitutional promises. However, federal decisions should still obey international promises that prevent global life threatening situations.
@9HFQ66F2yrs2Y
I think that you need to have a way to balance both, otherwise you would always lean one way or the next.
@9HFSPWB2yrs2Y
This position tends to view the government as having a legitimate role in supporting or even promoting social and moral values in society. However, there is no general agreement about what exactly such values would be, so it is difficult to generalize about it.
@ISIDEWITH2yrs2Y
How would you feel about a policy that promotes your country's culture at the expense of others, and why?
@9HYXPMCRepublican2yrs2Y
Our nation is no longer truly free. We have placed too much power and trust in our government.
@HelcovichEmireRepublican5mos5MO
DEI, forced acceptance, anti-disrimination laws, business regulations, large taxes funding many unconstitutional government programs.
@9HYXMYD2yrs2Y
i would feel like its unfair and that we should all be united and not seperated and compared to one another
@HelcovichEmireRepublican5mos5MO
American culture is the best and the one true great culture (along with some other European cultures maybe), specifically the conservative faction. The social liberals are trying to destroy the preservation of traditional American culture.
@ISIDEWITH2yrs2Y
What societal changes do you think could improve the feeling of national togetherness in your community?
@9HYY4CK2yrs2Y
having everyone's ideas be accepted that are morally good
@HelcovichEmireRepublican5mos5MO
Respect for traditional values and morals and an end to progressivism, so we can all share similar values and not always be arguing about society.
@ISIDEWITH2yrs2Y
As the world becomes more globalized, what aspects of your national culture do you feel are most important to hold onto?
@9HYYR77Republican2yrs2Y
The Freedom that America gives to people, and the American dream
@HelcovichEmireRepublican5mos5MO
Define what your version of the "American Dream" is. I believe it is the ability for people to work hard and get educated so they can be hired and find a good stable job. I also strongly support traditional family, people should try to marry someone from the opposite sex and follow traditional gender norms, the wife has a duty to quit her job when she has children to become a homemaker.
@9HYYTNN2yrs2Y
What is something i would hold onto about my culture is how we carry ourselves so we stay out of trouble, and just us being successful.
@ISIDEWITH2yrs2Y
What local or national events have shaped your sense of belonging to your community or country?
National Conservatism is a political ideology that emphasizes the preservation of cultural identity, traditional values, and national sovereignty. People's sense of belonging to their community or country can be influenced by a variety of events, both local and national.
@9HHMN5Y2yrs2Y
lololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololol
@HelcovichEmireRepublican5mos5MO
The trans rights movement and legalization of same sex marriage definitely hurts my sense of belonging in this country, I don't want to be part of an LGBTQ cult!
@ISIDEWITH2yrs2Y
Is protecting national cultural heritage important enough to warrant resistance to global influences?
@9HF6YMN2yrs2Y
I think it isn't and more research must be done to understand to the full extent.
@9HF6XJL2yrs2Y
This is a very poorly worded question. I don't quite understand what it is asking. What resistance, what global influences, and what cultural heritage. Legal immigration is good. Protecting our Constitution is good. Using cultural heritage as an excuse to stereotypically discriminate is bad. But the concept of cultural heritage being important is not inherently bad. So, it depends on specific facts.
@HelcovichEmireRepublican5mos5MO
Yes, always, what is a country if it lets itself be influenced by outside influences? Illegal immigration and promotion of a diverse culture are destroying America as a country, and pretty soon will we even be our own country?
@ISIDEWITH2yrs2Y
What's a custom from your country that has become irrelevant with time, and do you think it should be revitalized?
One custom from my country that has become irrelevant over time is the idea that "women belong in the kitchen." While the idea still exists in many people's minds, it has deteriorated over time.
@HelcovichEmireRepublican5mos5MO
You're right, that idea is old and outdated. Heck! whatever happened to the rest of the house? The kitchen isn't the only place that needs cleaning!
@9KHNDXC2yrs2Y
cultural beliefs and I don't think it will be revitalized
@HelcovichEmireRepublican5mos5MO
What has become irrelevant is the importance of traditional marriage and gender roles. Of course it should be revitalized, these traditional values are some of the things that make America the beautiful country it is, or once was.
@ISIDEWITH2yrs2Y
In your life, what has strengthened or weakened your sense of national pride?
@9HYXS2V2yrs2Y
im british american but my national pride lies with britain
@HelcovichEmireRepublican5mos5MO
Your national pride needs to lie with the country you are currently living in. While Britain is an ally of the US, your loyalty should still be to the US, and the US only.
@HelcovichEmireRepublican5mos5MO
A lot of things have weakened it, LGBTQ rights, illegal immigration, feminism and progressive movements to encourage deviance from traditional gender roles, DEI and race-based hiring. Trump's policies have strenghened it.
@ISIDEWITH2yrs2Y
If you could implement one policy to strengthen your community's unity, what would it be?
@9HHM7NYIndependent2yrs2Y
Stop wasting money on programs that only benefit the few.
@HelcovichEmireRepublican5mos5MO
Like social welfare programs that only help the "poor"
@HelcovichEmireRepublican5mos5MO
The SOMA (Sanctuary of marriage) which would recognize marriage as only between a *biological* man and woman, as well as restore the importance of biological sex over gender, by removing "gender identity" entirely from all of society.
@ISIDEWITH2yrs2Y
Do you think national conservatism is a legitimate response to globalization, or is it a step back from progress?
@9HLT46H 2yrs2Y
It’s a legitimate response. We should expect less government and teach our citizens in every country to use their resources, natural and intellectual to prepare for a future of peace and prosperity based on our basic needs. We are already doing what we need to do to take care of ourselves, we just have to remove the continuing failing financial process that separates and divides the people.
@9HLTJV52yrs2Y
I think it is a legitimate response but they could do more
@HelcovichEmireRepublican5mos5MO
It is a good response, globalization will destroy the true meaning of our country.
@ISIDEWITH2yrs2Y
How do you think preserving your national language contributes to or hinders cultural connectivity?
Hinders cultural connectivity because it creates a nationalist country
@9KCGTHS2yrs2Y
I think that national conservationism as a whole is stupid, the us is a melting pot of a lot of cultures and to preserve just one is not benifcal to anyone.
@HelcovichEmireRepublican5mos5MO
Everyone who cannot speak English as a natural language must be deported, I don't give a crap about your citizenship status, not being able to speak the national language is completely unacceptable!
@ISIDEWITH2yrs2Y
How do you feel when you see your country's flag or hear the national anthem, and why?
@9HHLM4H 2yrs2Y
When I saw the flag as a kid growing up in the US I used to feel excitement and pride. I would think of my grandfather who had fought in the military. I would think of all the other children in different countries who didn't have freedom. As I grew up that eroded away.
My grandfather had to suffer for years with a faulty heart before the government would pitch anything in for its veterans. I realized that the freedoms that I had thought were special. Weren't all that rare. I'd even argue that the more I discovered about how my family and I myself fit in the larger part of… Read more
@9HHFYM2 2yrs2Y
the anthem butt the flag butt it need to be changed
@HelcovichEmireRepublican5mos5MO
It is a sign of national pride, but recently it has also become a sign of the deterioration of our society caused by modern-day liberalism. We must restore traditional family values, and purely merit-based opportunities.
@ISIDEWITH2yrs2Y
How do global events like the Olympics or the World Cup impact your sense of national identity?
@9HYWRRPRepublican2yrs2Y
I like to show support for the best of the best from our Country.
@9HYWQMH2yrs2Y
Peaceful competitions like these are extremely important to increase a sense of national identity.
@ISIDEWITH2yrs2Y
Do you believe that strong national borders are necessary for a country's security and well-being, or do they create unnecessary divisions?
@9HCVLTKConstitution 2yrs2Y
You can’t provide a social safety net and have loose borders. In general, we should strive to increase national unity and encourage immigrants to become Americans first.
@HelcovichEmireRepublican5mos5MO
Without strong borders, a country is no different than just a colony.
