      No, that’s not a strawman, conservatism in the context of liberal democracies and/or capitalist mode of production demonstrably entrenches white supremacy through historical links to European colonization and imperialism that still rear their heads to this day. To pretend otherwise is intellectually lazy and dishonest in a way that only the biggest rubes fall for. Your shtick is boring, overdone, and easy to dismiss for the farce it is.

      Edit: In addition, liberalism in the context of liberal democracies (and pretty much in every historical instance I can recall) has been responsible for entrenching white supremacy due to it’s nature of upholding a bourgeois order built out of the context of white supremacist genocide and colonization.
