All those points are always resisted by Conservatives / Regressives.... They are fucking wrong about every solution to every problem we face since the dawn of time.
Because by their nature and beliefs, they are resistant to change, any change, even good ones.
Not true. They are in favor of change that benefits the wealthy. They resist any change the benefits the general public.
Some might even say that's the way things have always been, so they refuse to change it...
They're not for just any change that benefits the wealthy: they're against any mutually beneficial change.
What do conservatives want? Money and control. If they willingly choose to have less of one, it's in pursuit of the other.
They are resisted because they threaten the status quo of the oligarchs and the useful idiots they are able to convince. In my country, they mostly do it by doing barbecues, concerts during the campaign, giving people in the countryside buckets, umbrellas a bag of rice and bottle of oil, and lots of TV and TikTok propaganda. In the US, religion seems to plays a much bigger role.
But work is ~~9-5~~ 9-6, can't have flexible hours. Everyone knows a busy employee is less likely to get weird ideas like unionizing.
But you can't control and micromanage the ~~slave~~ employee if they aren't physically present at work. And also, we need to keep the employee busy on the 1-2hr commute, see above point.
You mean the poor landlords lose the bread from their mouth and not get paid rent?
Stealing the bread of our poor military complex and police forces? Can't have that.
See point #1
My point is that it's literally a class war between the oligarchs in power and the rest of us.
