re: #17 Citizen K

Oh, I get that, it’s just that the idea of conservatism’s flawlessness seems to just be accepted writ large across the whole discourse, not just taken as gospel on the right. It seems like a fully baked in assumption even among the lefty side of the discourse until all too recently.

It’s the “it can only be failed…” fallacy, the idea that conservative ideals work if executed faithfully and in full, and the failure of them in practice is a matter of implementation.
