LW is a US-centric site. When I saw the option, I assumed it meant the US interpretation of the "conservative" label, which (from Europe) seems impossible to distinguish from batshit crazy.

I like to see myself as somewhat conservative, but I even more like to see myself as not batshit crazy.

As a US conservative, I can assure you the feeling is mutual, BTW.

Not sure what you mean by that. You feel European conservativism is crazy? You feel the interpretation of US conservatism is crazy? You feel US conservatives are functionally identical to crazy, if not actually so?

I meant that all the mainstream European parties seem crazy.
