    The rational definition of conservatism is the maintaining of the status quo. No radical change. Don’t rock the boat.

    As a political philosophy, it’s boring. It’s safe. Just keep things the way they are.

    If the way things are is cruel and unjust, then what is it to fight to maintain that state of things?

    Outside of a utopia, “keep things as they are” is unlikely to be the highest of moral grounds.
