Welcome to YUROP
The Ultimate Eurozone of Culture, Chaos, and Continental Excellence
A glorious gathering place to celebrate (and lovingly roast) the lands, peoples, quirks, and contradictions of Her Most Magnificent Europa. From the fjords to the Med, the steppes to the Atlantic spray, this is a shrine to everything that makes Europe gloriously weird, wonderfully diverse, and occasionally passive-aggressive in 24 languages.
Here we toast:
πͺπΊ The progressive Union of Peace (and paperwork)
π§ The freest of health care
π· The finest of foods
π³οΈβπ The liberalest of liberties
π The proud non-members and honorary cousins
πΆ And the eternal dance of unity, confusion, and cultural banter.
Post memes, news, satire, linguistic wars, train maps, cursed food photos, Eurovision fever, propaganda and whatever makes you scream βonly in YUROP.β
Leave your stereotypes at the border control and enjoy the ride.

Yes he is. It doesn't matter how you explain it, the "conservative" here has beliefs considered further left than American conservatives. Can't dismiss that just because you can explain it some other way also.
I'm not dismissing him, I'm saying that conservativism isn't left or right. That's a false equivalency putting the conservative/progressive ideologies on a spectrum. That's not how conservativism works. There is no left or right, only selfish and principled. Do I want this? If yes, then it is a critical part of our culture and history and must be protected from all change at any cost. If the answer is no, then it is an abhorrent condition that must be stopped at any cost. Did I have a different opinion yesterday? Doesn't matter, because that was yesterday. Will I change my mind tomorrow? Doesn't matter, because if I do, then I'll have a really good reason.
It's because Germany has fewer "immigrants", so he thinks German people (everyone) should have healthcare. If there were more "immigrants" then he would say German people (as in German ethnicity only) should have healthcare. That's what he's saying about what his group is, well that's how I break down what his group is.
