Conservatives.
Don't know what their purpose is.
Spend your money on their war,
then they'll cut your goods and services.

”No more pointless wars” turned into ”UNCONDITIONAL SURRENDER” and lectures on big beautiful bombs pretty damn fast..
But did we learn yet how #conservatism & #populism works?
Looks like most people still don’t have a clue.. 🤦♂️

A quotation from Hannah Arendt
Man’s urge for change and his need for stability have always balanced and checked each other, and our current vocabulary, which distinguishes between two factions, the progressives and the conservatives, indicates a state of affairs in which this balance has been thrown out of order. No civilization — the man-made artifact to house successive generations — would ever have been possible without a framework of stability, to provide the wherein for the flux of change.
Hannah Arendt (1906-1975) German-American philosopher, political theorist
Essay (1969-02-27), “Reflections on Violence,” The New York Review of Books

Our European political classes, on the right and left, want to get their wish: end democracy, end human rights, end the rule of law. Back to 1788. 🥳

#SamTanenhaus's biography of #WilliamFBuckleyJr is out at last. There's a simple test to detect an unfair review: Does it mention that WFB supported #segregation? Does it mention that he changed his mind and declared that he had been wrong?
this is your brain on #conservatism

Are We Still in #Neoliberalism?
The past fifty years have been the era of unchallenged #marketdominance in all areas of life. But with the #globalupheaval brought on by the Trump #tradewar, are we seeing the #neoliberal order unraveling?
In this episode of #ConfrontingCapitalism, Vivek Chibber and Melissa Naschek discuss the historic origins of neoliberalism, so-called “#proworker” #conservatism, and the prospects for #deglobalization.

"There is nothing inherently wrong with elites. The problem is simply that ours have failed us. Conservatism, in its truest and most dignified form, has never been anti-elitist. It’s anti-revolutionary. It distrusts mob rule not because it holds the people in contempt, but because it understands human nature too well to entrust civilization to the whims of the masses. That’s not cynicism, it’s wisdom."

This quote from a few years ago adds #framing that I find useful...
"#Conservatism consists of exactly one proposition, to wit:
There must be #in_groups whom the #law protects but does not bind, alongside #out_groups whom the law binds but does not protect.
There is nothing more or else to it, and there never has been, in any place or time."
-- #FrankWilhoit 03/22/18 "There is No Such Thing as #Liberalism"
The original was an obscure blog post by Frank Wilhoit the composer, not the political writer Francis Wilhoit.

"The law cannot protect anyone unless it binds everyone; and it cannot bind anyone unless it protects everyone."
A good mnemonic is "Rules [Taxes, Laws, etc.] for Thee, but not for Me."
