You might be conservative, most people don’t think they need to shit on someone below them, that’s you.

I'm pretty sure they're talking about the self-esteem hypothesis of social identity theory.

The way it was phrased it sounded as if it was their personal belief and worldview.

I mean they probably are, but it's also an existing hypothesis in social psychology. Makes their opinion a little more valid than them just being a 'conservative'.

Considering this hypothesis encompasses the Conservative hierarchical worldview, it doesn't seem like much a of stretch of the imagination to me. I never took Sociology so hopefully I can be forgiven for not being able to identify this theory on it's face.

Yikes, my friend. Just because someone makes an observation on intergroup dynamics doesn't make them lean one way or another. In-group bias is also well documented with you currently, and very ironically, showing out-group negativity.

Fwiw, I doubt conservatives are wondering why marginalised groups end up attacking each other rather than uniting for a common goal.

Shame on me for taking someone's words in the first person as meaning what they think. And of course Conservatives don't wonder, it's what they do to every out-group.

Look if you want to play the victim here you're more than welcome. I genuinely don't care, have a nice day.

I never asked for your continued opinion, you gave it. You cared enough to try and give me a hard time with it so please do go fuck yourself.
