Has started to grind my gears, since there is no way to quickly explain that I’m happy with the current situation (I live in the nordics, not the US). Historically I would be considered a conservative, since I don’t see a need to progress (atleast at an accelerated rate). However that term is now used to define reactionaries, which are people who reacting to the changing society wants to regress to a earlier time.
Why must we change the meanings of such obvious words?
If you’re going to get pedantic about political terminology, you’re going to have a bad time. Just look at what a slut the word “liberal” is.
