    “True conservatives” aren’t people who don’t want change; that’s just a lie they tell to make their ideology seem less unhinged. True conservatives are, and always have been, people who crave hierarchy and autocratic rule.

    In other words, “true conservatives” have absolutely no problems with change or new technology, as long as it’s used to enforce their privilege rather than elevate the people below them.

      This. Its about preserving power structures and that’s it, they deserve power and others don’t, that’s what they believe. So many times you see people try to gotcha conservatives by pointing out how their ideology is inconsistent when in reality its very consistent just not in the way they advertise it as.
