Conservatism isn’t what you think it is. Conservatism is, and always has been, about establishing and maintaining social/power/wealth hierarchies and inequity. It only happens to correlate with “prevent[ing] a radical change” to the status quo only to the extent that the status quo has historically been hierarchical and inequitable.
Conservatism and conservationism might share a Latin root, but that’s where the similarity ends.

No conservativism is about using government power conservatively. It’s about only using the government when it’s absolutely necessary to do so.
