Looking back, how often has social conservatism been on the right side of human rights and wellbeing vs social liberalism?

Never.

Martin Luther King had a -75% approval rating before he died. At the time, he was actually seen as a radical leftist by the mainstream. Now his support is near-universal because he was on the right side of history.

The people who attack BLM and trans rights activists also tacitly support the gains made by the civil rights movement and a lot even support gay rights equality. However, they also think that this time it is different.

This new fad of extreme radical leftism in which universities are corrupting the youth and destroying society blah blah.

It's all been said many times before. People who say this kind of thing have no historical self-awareness. They also have no understanding of how struggles of the past (that their past equivalents opposed) gained so many of the things that they now take for granted.

Social conservatism in the United States is a political ideology focused on the preservation of traditional values and beliefs. it changes by the children one generation at a time. its slow. and in some areas its even slower.. texas the last time a black was dragged by a chain behind a truck till he fell apart was in the 1998. and that was not long ago..

the men felt entitled to do so .. it was there right as a white man. THAT WAS 24 YEARS AGO
In the early morning hours of June 7, 1998, three white men beat Byrd after offering him a ride. They then chained the 49-year-old to the back of a truck and dragged his body for nearly 3 miles along a secluded road in the piney woods outside Jasper. Byrd was alive for at least two miles before his body was ripped to pieces. Prosecutors said he was targeted because he was black.
was this what you wanted to know?

woke is a good thing.
Woke is an English adjective meaning "alert to racial prejudice and discrimination" that originated in African-American

Oddly, it doesn't matter what the topic for conservatives in my country,
- science is distrusted, discredited and ignored;
- implement policies n ways that inevitably increase wealth of the mega-wealthy without helping the poor, the battlers, the outcasts who are treated without dignity and blamed for their situation;
- Oppose wage rises, block rises in pensions, unemployment or other safety nets for the most vulnerable in the country, whilst persecuting them with falsified 'debts', 3-5 hour phone queues to talk to govt agencies about why their income has been cut cold.
- oppose climate change legislation and coincidentally do things like a 'gas led recovery' implemented by a gas company executive appointed to head up the climate change working group;
- Oppose everything the indigenous people wanted and treated them in the most patronising manner (cashless debit card fiasco for example)
I mean I could write and write here... But Rupert Murdoch supports their misinformation campaign based on fear about taxes, hordes of immigrants, etc to get them re-elected.

Social conservatism has a dismal track record, but that doesn't matter to its proponents, who are utterly inept at understanding anything historical

You'll see this when conservatives deny party realignment/the party switch, so as to claim the modern day republican party is that of Lincoln, even though they literally fly the Confederate flag

Look at these proud conservatives taking a stand against CoMmuNisM lol

By definition, conservatism aims to preserve traditional social institutions and practices. Historically there have been, and currently are, conservatives who would really quite bluntly admit that people of color, women, and LGBT people should not have the rights that they do. Why? Because of traditional attitudes and practices.

But the thing is, conservatism isn’t monolithic, and people make choices as to which social institutions, values, practices, etc., should be preserved. And how they should be preserved. Liberal (in the economic sense) conservatives and libertarian conservatives are really not worried about people’s sexual lives and can be liberal/libertarian conservatives without being socially or religiously conservative. It’s also possible to be a social or religious conservative and spend a lot of time thinking about family and sexual mores, but not particularly be economically and politically conservative in the liberal or libertarian sense.

And it’s also possible to be a progressive conservative. To be socially progressive while being fiscally and politically conservative. Teddy Roosevelt was a good example of this. Truth— a lot of our “left” in America are really progressive conservatives. We’ve just recalibrated so far. Why? Because they advocate change. Just not so faaaaaaast …

Every. Damned. Time!

Approx 2,500 years ago, the Ancient Greeks abandoned the idea of doing what their predecessors/ancestors did. Instead, they began to look forward, to be innovative, to be progressive.

Time to learn yet another lesson from the Ancient Greeks...........yeah, I get the irony🤷‍♂️🤦‍♂️

They seem to want everything to always be the same generation to generation. No progress, no advancement. No bettering ourselves or our world. They want perpetual early 20th century.

Problem is social conservatives think that owning slaves and women and oppressing gay people IS a good thing. That's why they keep fighting for it. Even with a near 100% social failure rate.
In that case it always a matter of gatekeeping and moving the goal posts.
"If only we can oppress these final people all suffering would cease. If only those people were more Christian Jesus would come back. Etc..."
Utopia is always just over the next oppression.

They were right about the importance of physical fitness for society. In the history of far right idelogies, specifically fascism, athleticism was always valued as q must and a requirement for society. Study after study confirms that this is legit. The left literally are anti body shaming against morbidly obese bodies which result totally as a result of lifestyle choices.

With all the science out about the positive affects of fitness on emotional, mental, and physical health, the fascist were correct in their advicacy of the youth developing athletic prowess.

Ah Black folks not being property????
You think that was a liberal???
That liberal Abe Lincoln??
Also:
"It was on May 21st of 1919, just six months after the end of the first World War, that the Republican lead House of Representatives passed the re-introduced 19th Amendment by a vote of 304 to 89 (91% of Republicans, 59% of Democrats)."

The term "wokism" isn't that clear though. I see how it can be used by people attached to their social privileges in relation to their class, gender, education, origins...but naming and shaming can also be used in a petty and childish way to stigmatise strangers or present problems in a Manichean kind of way.

Yeah thats one thing that really fucks the conservative platform; they've got a really really bad track record.

The thing is, not everything they advocate for is entirely pointless. Some of it makes logical sense. But the fact that they have been on the wrong side of history so many times makes it real easy to throw the baby out with the bath water.

One could call it karma.

I think it’s hard to quantify how many things social conservatism has prevented over the years that has contributed to our well being .
I mean like spread of disease type of stuff .
Mostly I think it’s been on the wrong side and agree w you .

Oh that would be always. But wont stop them creating rules for others that they dont follow themselves..😷

Can you show me where conservatives align with those groups in the past?

often

Never.
