Is conservatism a mental illness? What is the scientific verdict on this issue?

How is conservatism "in general" bad? People are born. As they grow up, they want to change things. Some might call that being progressive. When they're older and things have changed, they want them to stay the same. They want to conserve their way of life. For those people, further change is seen as regression. Perhaps that's overly simplistic, but people are simple, so fuck you.

That's not just simplistic, it's "fake Winston Churchill quote Facebook meme your uncle shares" simplistic.

Both sides get played.

>Le communism is a mental illness meme

topkek, big words for a baby like you. 99% of people would benefit from communism, don't you know?

I guess. In that case then conservatism is the low IQ version of leftist ideology.

Think about it. We are always looking forward. We have a difficult but not impossible goal post of communism and we are always getting closer to it, even if we only make small steps.

Conservatism is the opposite. It is in their name. To "conserve". Their final goal is to stay where they are. "Don't rock the boat", they say. Conservatism is the ideology for you if you are retarded, lazy and an under achiever. Communism is for the big boys who are not afraid of real challenge because as perfect as communism is, it is really hard to get there.

Even those who have tried to impose communist utopias throughout the world failed because even though they half assedly achieved the "communist" part, they always fail at the "utopia" part of it.

Conservatism is bad because it is precisely what holds scientific progress behind. Stem cell research could be a lot advanced if weren't for the "life preserving" conservatards.
It is also bad because it doesn't allow people to do what they want and deprive them from happiness despite they not doing others harm just because of arbitrary and illogical morals.

>Perhaps that's overly simplistic, but people are simple, so fuck you.
People aren't simple at all. If you think that you are either really autistic or too young to be here.

>calls me autistic
>says morals are arbitrary and illogical
o i am laffin

I didn't say all morals are arbitrary and illogical, just the ones that conservatards defend. I obviously have morals, but they are guided by logic above everything else.

everyone's morals are guided by whatever they consider to be logical, you fucking moron

i'm not even a conservative but you're clearly a fedora

>morals guided by logic

What does this even mean?
