Whatever “conservatism” is, it does not involve the conservation of a stable climate, or the polar ice caps, or the coral reefs, or the global food supply.

I had a funny experience of this recently. I was looking for conservation and found what I thought was an empty “Conservative” community over on kbin so I started posting conservation articles there.
Turns out it did have one poster but they are banned by Beehaw so I only saw them when I was logged out. Anyway he was annoyed and told me Conservative is a political term meaning conserving traditions.
So I started posting articles about conserving traditions, especially about how conserving the traditions of Indigenous people is good for the environment. But he still complained.
They ended up polling the !conservative@kbin.social community to see what it should be about, majority voted for environmental conservation anyway.
Lol, what a cute and effective troll.
