Knowles: "I want our civilization to be as socially conservative as we were in 1220 ... before all the modern ideology started corroding our civilization"
Daily Wire's Michael Knowles: The pride flag is "offensive to all normal people" and "should be banned from all public spaces because it's evil and degenerate"

Ahh, 1220, the halcyon days where the western world was ransacked by Genghis Khan, the 5th crusades ended in disaster and the king of England was 12 years old
The good old days

πthis could be an opportunity to cover some more right wing silliness, for those who complain that you don't do it enough.
@bad_takes
American civilization did not exist in 1220, so whose civilization is he referring to? I certainly wouldn't want to love in 1220 culture, where most were still serfs.
@bad_takes
any idea for what it was like back then?
because no one does or can have
facades and bard songs were written and scribed later on of course...
or shall we relive the time when Juliet was ostracized at the age of 13 she hadn't been married yet? (origin story of WS's)

What a lot of conservatives donβt grasp these calls for a regressive social change would also involve them as well.
For people that talk a good game about freedom and liberty they sure wanna give up the shop readily.
@bad_takes
Oddly specific choice of year. Also, was the status quo as of 1220 even all that socially conservative by our standards?
The further back in time you go the more you'll see that policies and attitudes assumed by conservatives to uphold "traditional values" didn't even exist yet.β¦
