what the fuck does 'traditional' mean, in political or social context? it seems to be purely arbitrary, like people pick and choose bits of the past and use the term just to add authority to their opinion

i think it used to describe the time before computers. i use the word to describe the time before surveilance, bioweapons, censorship and gender confusion.

> bioweapons
I think bioweaponry is almost as old as weaponry itself, at least many ancient wars have documented usage of it

to me traditional means the way my father had. So for me it would be traditional to marry and have one child meanwhile to have 10 kids from different women like my ancestors had wouldnt be traditional at all

fair point, in that case i mean globally coordinated, dna-targeting bio weaponry for both general organized murder and eugenics purposes. this very much makes me wonder why the muricans killed hitler. maybe they didn't know they would turn into him.

but my father is very different from your father
so it becomes a pointless word for discussion outside of one's family

well, you gotta be nuanced with that shit in Russia
 
what if your father was a drunkard loser? Is it traditional to follow in his footsteps? Or what if your grandfather was a worker in a Soviet collective farm? And what if your grandgrandfather was a serf without his land, who belonged to some officer nobility? Is this traditional to follow in their footsteps?

if a socity has no majority of dads who been doing same things then tradition is dead
 
first of all it is only about father, or father figure who raised you
 
>what if your father was a drunkard loser? Is it traditional to follow in his footsteps?
yes, sharing same values with your dad is the traditional way of life. even if he is gay commnist it would be traditional for you to become gay communist. People who get pagan tatoos and grow beards has nothing to do with tradition, they are neotraditionalists aka larpers. im not kiddding its all makes sence

You don't understand - what i mean is, what if your father was a fucking weirdo faggot who HIMSELF took a dump on tradition of his father, lived like shit and left nothing after himself other that a pile of shit called You. Is it TRADITIONAL, to continue his """""LEGACY""""" of being a fucking loser? Is this constant regression that becomes tradition itself?

something is traditional if it is a custom handed down by the previous generations

You're trying to explain culture to a gringo.
You'll have better luck trying to get incels to go to therapy.

i understand that context, yes
but in political context, the term 'traditionalist' seems to be a faction whose root-term is as unrelated as the root terms democrat or republican
