i think the fundamental disconnect between conservative idealogy and leftist idealogy is that leftist theory tends to acknowledge how systems of power play into each other and directly affect other issues while conservative theory doesn’t

conservatives usually pin disprivilege on the disprivileged, stating it’s 100% their fault, but leftists consider the bigger societal picture instead of merely focusing on the individual.

it’s kind of like:

conservatives: this thing happened because you weren’t working hard enough.

leftists: this thing happened because there are systems in place that detriment or completely nullify your hard work

at the end of the day this is just a really long winded way of me saying conservatives by nature of being conservatives show a lack of intelligence regarding, like, all of society
