      Conservatism is sick, but elites like it.

      They will become even richer due to the fact that they will reduce expenses on social development, will steal resources. But ‘regular people’ will not revolt against them, because “yes, they are right, fuck minorities, science and liberalism is bad”, i.e. they already are ignorant (and they embrace it!) and uneducated.

      It’s like in any other authoritarian LMIC country, just fucking Middle Ages.

        Capitalists see almost everyone, ie poors, the same way conservatives see their out groups: less than human.

          Capitalism is good if there are regulations in place and rule of law is strong.
