      The longer I do this work, the more I grudgingly accept the basic direction of history is liberalization; that there's a reason the metaphors "progressive" and "reactionary" make intuitive sense. #TeamWhiggish

      That's why conservatism is so WEIRD. It just ain't natural.

      But it can never work. And so introduces some strange cognitive distortions in those who organize their identities around trying.

      "Never" seems like strong claim. Maybe not in the long run but reaction can rule the roost for many decades.

          I suspect associating change with "forward" or "youth" metaphors and resistance to it with "backward" and "old" metaphors is close to a human universal, and perhaps even quasi biological. "Reaction can rule the roost for many decades" re-inscribes the distinction.
