Conservative
Estimate
A Complete Refutation of
“Conservatism” According
to its Own “Principles”
by
SCOTT MCMURREY
Everything Stays the Same, Right?
“Conservatives” cling to the comforting myth
that society should remain static, resisting
change steadfastly. This isn’t about preserving
values; it’s about protecting privilege. Fear of
progress fuels this resistance, but progress is
inevitable. Stubbornly holding onto outdated
ideas leads only to societal decay. To move
forward, we must recognize that real growth
and justice require change.

Love the Old-time Ways
“Conservatives” romanticize the past, promoting
tradition as the solution to modern issues. But this
attachment to tradition is rooted in fear of the
future. Elevating old customs over new ideas is a
way to maintain control and avoid confronting the
challenges of creating a more just society. The
past isn’t a model for the future—it’s a barrier to
the progress we need.

Do What You’re Told
Authoritarianism thrives on the demand
for blind obedience, and “conservatives”
rely on this principle to maintain power.
By promoting the idea that everyone
should simply "do what they’re told," they
discourage independent thought and
suppress creativity. This creates a society
where questioning authority is seen as a
threat, and this ensures that power
structures remain firmly in place.

Prudence, Thy Name is “Conservative”
“Conservatives” often hide behind the shield of “prudence” to
justify their resistance to change. But this version of prudence is
only fear masquerading as wisdom. Real prudence involves
carefully evaluating and improving life, not avoiding change
altogether. The misuse of prudence becomes a tool to preserve
inequality and avoid the hard work of creating a just society.
I Say “Variety,” You Say “Privilege”
While claiming to value “variety” and tradition, “conservatives”
are really protecting their own privilege. The celebration of
institutional diversity is a smokescreen for maintaining unequal
power structures. True diversity means equal opportunities for
all, not just those who already hold power. Behind the mask of
variety lies the same old defense of inequality.

There’s Nothing We Can Do
Fatalism, the belief that some things are simply
unchangeable, is one of the most dangerous ideas
“conservatives” push. By pretending that injustice and
inequality are inevitable, they absolve themselves of
responsibility for solving problems. But this outlook is a
lie—progress is always possible when we act with
courage and conviction. The only thing that can’t be
changed is an adamant refusal to try.

Wealth is Lovely
The glorification of wealth is central to “conservative” ideology.
Wealth is seen not just as a sign of success but as a moral virtue.
This obsession with property and accumulation leads to corruption
and inequality, as those in power seek to protect their riches at the
expense of everyone else. The pursuit of wealth for wealth’s sake
undermines the true principles of justice and fairness.

Small Government
“Conservatives” claim to value
small government, but their vision
of governance is selective. They
want less regulation when it
benefits them, but they’re happy to
support large government when it
comes to military spending or
policing. The “small government”
demand is simply a tactic to ensure
that the state serves their interests
while leaving the rest of society
vulnerable.

Suppress the People
Suppressing democracy is central to
“conservatism.” Voter suppression,
gerrymandering, and media control
are all tools used to maintain
power. “Conservatives” have no
interest in a truly democratic
society because they know they
would lose. The goal is to limit the
voice of the people and ensure that
a privileged minority continues to
rule. Democracy cannot flourish
under these conditions.

No Progress is Progress
Fear of progress is the root of
“conservatism.” “Conservatives”
resist change not out of concern
for stability but because they fear
equality and justice. By disguising
their fear as a desire for order,
“conservatives” prevent society
from moving forward. Progress is
not a threat to stability—it’s the
path to a more just and equitable
future for all.

Tracking “Conservative” Motives
Fear drives nearly every action of
“conservatives.” Whether it’s fear of
losing power, fear of equality, or
fear of change, their motives are
rgenerated by self-preservation.
Understanding this fear is key to
dismantling their hold on society. By
confronting and addressing the
sources of “conservative” fear, we
can weaken their grip and pave the
way for a more just and open world.

It is more than past time to reject
“conservatism” in all its forms. It has
proven itself to be nothing more than a
tool for maintaining inequality and
resisting progress. By rejecting its so-called
principles, we can build a society based on
justice, fairness, and decency. The future
belongs to those who embrace change,
equality, and the courage to act.
