The big irony here is this is a very simplistic take on a potentially complex topic.
Globalisation marches on, swallowing languages and cultures. Conservatism is necessary to preserve diversity long term.
To be clear, I am not trying to insinuate there are not many things completely and absolutely abhorrent by modern day conservatism.

Because if there's anything conservatives are known for, it's tolerating diversity. We surely wouldn't have a diverse group of monoculture countries, nope.
So, conservatism preserves diversity by... (checks your comment) ...limiting the intersection of different cultures.
Even by your description, conservatism sounds like a plague of xenophobia and racism.
Maybe it's time to marginalize conservatism so we can marginalize the racism and xenophobia that comes with it.
This is probably not the right place for such a comment. You are expected to agree.
