It's in the name, conservatism is the opposite of progressivism, progress is a natural state, nothing stays as is forever, the only way to stop progress is to go against nature.
"Change" is the natural state, and not all changes are "progress".
Conservative used to be "want to take things slow to see which changes are good and which are bad".
Stagnatives and Retrogrades should be separate categories.
Found the Nurgulite.
To be clear that's not an insult.
Is this a reference to WH40k? I'm not well versed in its lore.
Indeed it is. Nurgul is the Chaos God that is in charge of natural cycles of death decay and rebirth. His followers spread diseases all over the place. Though now that I think about it Tzeench is in charge of "change," IIRC.
If The Emperor Had a Text To Speech is a remarkably close to canon primer for the universe, if a bit tongue in cheek.
Conservative isn't really the correct term for the right anymore. They're not just conservative, they're regressive
Fascist, the term for today's conservatives is fascist.
