Any right wing/conservatives here?

[sardonic laugh]

I've been following this site for a few months and recently joined. From what I've seen, most of the SaSu members are liberals or leftists, but what about conservatives? I'm a monarchist and traditionalist myself, and I wonder if there are any like-minded people here? (I remember seeing a member with Ernst Jünger as his avatar)

1) When my country was ruled by the Tsar, before 1917, we were an ordinary Western state, maybe a little more backward and despotic than Western Europe, but nothing more. When the communists came to power in my country, they organized mass repressions, the destruction of high culture.
2) Aesthetic reasons. I am a very big hater of modern art (for me it is everything after the middle of the 20th century). I can admire the architecture, music, clothes, cars of the era of the Great Empires, but not of the current era.

I've been pleased that I haven't seen too much here that's political. I like that people are discussing their common topic without bringing politics into it, find it a nice change.

I've noticed a couple - they are typically pretty easy to spot. But not many.

There are a few here. But it depends what the definition of right winger is. I consider myself in the middle / lean right but am open to listening to others. For example, I support the civilian victims in Gaza. Most boomer right wingers do not. Some may call me a "nazi" for this and others may call me a leftist.
Yes ,OP, people who lean left are more likely to have mental health issues and suicidal tendencies. I think there were studies on this. So it makes sense that many people on here are left wing.
There are political discussions in the politics and philosophy section and they are very civil.

There are some very interesting threads on X / Twitter about modern and post-modern art and architecture and how things are designed to demoralize instead of uplift us. The argument is that after the industrial revolution, this was all done by design. Today, corporations continue this. (Look at the way buildings are designed and the artwork on display or ads / art pushed on us.) Super interesting.
The Classics and Gothic art / architecture are examples of styles meant to bring inspiration to us.

I'm considered very left-wing in Israel because I'm pro-Palestine. But I'm probably closer to the political centre/centre-left by international standards.

@Adûnâi maybe you want to answer the question?

I've been right wing/ conservative since I first started voting in the 1980s

The current US republican party is not what it once was and I do not support its platform

I've voted libertarian more in the past decade plus than for Republicans

I believe the same goes for the democrats. They do not represent "life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness" from the days of FDR. Both parties have changed quite a bit the last few decades. It would seem that American politics is about war and benefiting corporations with each side believing the lies and false hope they're sold.
