(6,701 posts)The parade of people who are hell-bent on holding back progress in reaction to social innovation stretches back into prehistory. In the most recent decades, the sentiment carries the title, "conservative". Consumed by cowardice, they are and have always been the most fearful of their contemporaries. Afraid that the life they've conceptualized will disappear, leaving them without certainty, unendurably insecure. It's just the timeless mania, the ageless fear-of-death manifested politically. They will rise, codify, fail and fall again. Doing so for each iteration simply because the ever-evolving human condition will not stand still for them or any human construct.
Progress has growing pains. "Conservatism" has dying pains which we are all forced to endure.
