If in the year 2000 liberals expanded their traditions, then if in the year 2200 liberals still held onto these traditions would this be seen as conservative? So theoretically they’re no longer liberal even though the party stayed the same for 200 years?
it’s very likely that would be the case assuming that we learn that some of our traditions were mistaken, likely based on limited information. (or assuming that the definition didn’t change somehow)
i want clarify that it’s not so much that they’re “no longer liberal”, because if they were following more or less the same defined liberal ideals back in 2000, they certainly were liberals. it’s moreso along the line of thought that “what the liberals back then thought was outdated”.
conservatism is liberal progression into an enforced tradition.
liberalism is the progression either out of old conservative traditions, or into new ones. if traditionally enforced, this becomes conservative :O
but tell me again about how you’re a “conservative” or a “liberal”?
feeling “enlightened” yet?
edit: downvotes with no replies eh? too enlightening i guess
So following this logic:
