    btw isn’t conservatism supposed to be about “everything is perfect as it is right now, don’t make any changes”?

        Which is sad, because if you never change. You’ll eventually stagnate and rot, like an apple in the sun when change does finally become forced and necessary. Either you move out of the sun and become a tree with those remaining seeds or just. Die I guess. Kind of a pathetic way to go just because of stubbornness honestly.

      They say that, but they are liars. Liberals who typically want to conserve the standing social and economic order are the real conservatives.

      What the conservatives actually are is reactionaries.

      For the record, I’m not saying that because I’m a liberal, which I’m not. I don’t want to conserve the social or economic orders.
