[Ursula Le Guin quote].

Conservatism’s inherent fault is that its core centers around maintaining a status quo.

Status quos are never eternal. There is no End Of History. The dam will break, like with Jim Crow, like with the 2000s referendums to ban gay marriage in state constitutions. The only question is whether each of us are willing to push up against the wall as much as we can.
