Repairing things used to be normal. From that point of view, conservatism is perfectly right.

Conservatism has only ever existed to keep an aristocracy. Look at history, it's literally why it developed as an ideology, because a lot of the aristocracy from Europe didn't actually want the aristocracy to end, so they needed to make up political positions that supported the idea that there should be an untouchable elite to whom laws don't apply.

It has literally never, ever existed to "conserve" anything like natural resources or the rights of individuals. At it's core it was about retaining Kings, Queens, Dukes, and Lords without actually keeping those, but instead making it about wealth.

So yeah, gonna hard disagree on that. Conservatism is the source making laws that deny you the ability to repair, the conservatives aren't the ones out here fighting for it.

People get old, they do not want this to change. That is where it comes from. Regardless of the persons status. It is also irrelevant where it comes from.

I think I just realised that the term "conservative" is just a lie. Just like "pro-life" or whatever other BS they come up with, it's just a smokescreen to cover their real agenda, which is to dominate others.
