Side note: I am banned from conservative subs, but my last comment there was responded with “conservatism is a necessary counterpoint to progressivism” and can somebody tell me ANY conservative policies that were for the good of humanity? Because all I see is a severely mentally ill bunch of fucking psychopaths that do nothing but destroy freedom and anything at all good for humanity.
Yes and no. Conservatism is supposed to be (ideally, in theory) a ratchet that keeps the wheel from freely spinning in either direction. Conservatives are to preserve the status quo, which is the position currently taken by Democrats and not Republicans. We don’t have a counterbalance to the Repubs, which is why the wheel is slowly clicking to the right.
at best, they will tell you ‘i just want my tax dollars/government to be efficient’ but we see how that actually plays out with regards to the oligarchy taking control.

it is inherently selfish behavior.
