  In recent years, an unsettling trend has taken root within much of the mainstream media: the attempt to brand conservatism as synonymous with fascism. This conflation is not only intellectually dishonest but deeply corrosive to the health of public discourse and democracy itself. To equate a mainstream political philosophy—rooted in principles such as limited government, individual responsibility, and respect for tradition—with an extremist ideology that advocates authoritarianism, suppression of dissent, and the eradication of freedom is an act of gross distortion. Conservatism, in its essence, seeks to preserve enduring values and institutions while recognizing the need for measured, thoughtful change. It emphasizes the importance of family, community, faith, and cultural continuity. It champions free enterprise, individual liberty, and a healthy skepticism of concentrated power—whether in the hands of the state or large institutions.

It is the bedrock upon which multiculturalism, equality, and democratic governance rest. Yet, within our society, we practice a form of *selective morality*. We embrace certain aspects of freedom but quietly impose restrictions on others, often shaped by cultural trends or personal biases.

Bias—the subtle inclination to favor what we already believe—acts as a quiet poison. It dims the mind, shackles the imagination, and substitutes certainty for understanding. To love bias is to love the chains that bind the mind. When the mind clings to bias, it ceases to explore and begins to justify. Facts are filtered through preconceptions; evidence is weighed only if it reinforces existing beliefs. This is not mere stubbornness—it is the erosion of rational thought. A person in love with their bias is like a gardener who waters only the weeds while starving the flowers. Knowledge becomes selective, understanding shallow, and wisdom unattainable. History whispers cautionary tales. Galileo’s advocacy for a heliocentric cosmos was vilified not for lack of truth, but for its threat to entrenched ...
