  Not at all, tradition and status quo needs maintaining just as much as revolution needs mobilising. The 'inertia' metaphor is misleading: humans die, if nobody educates\indoctrinates (depending on your view) the new generation then tradition dies off. Furthermore, the world keeps changing, constantly putting tradition and the status quo on the defensive, if nobody expends energy to constantly reinvent and adapt traditions, they will gradually become irrelevant.
