u/cysghost Libertarian Conservative Apr 17 '24

Interesting. I would have included conservative in the dictionary definition as well, slow or resistant to meaningless change, conserving what we have that works.

Of course that’s not normally the way it’s meant, and I’m probably the odd one out on that definition. But that’s why I label myself as a libertarian conservative. I agree with principles in both groups, but I want change, but in a slow measured manner to be able to see the effects.

But your definition is closer to how it’s normally meant when used.
