No, I'm really not trying to do "no true scotsman". I'm pointing out that they're getting a pass by being labeled "conservative", as if they're merely trying to resist or slow down change. What they're actually trying to do is create drastic changes. Moldbug spelled this out, calling conservatism a doomed strategy and separating himself from it with his own label of "Reaction". I voted for Biden in 2020 (my first time voting for a major party candidate in a national election), and consider this a solidly conservative choice - in the true sense of the word. The misleading labeling has a fall out effect of screwing up the whole zeitgeist. For starters, the mainstream media (that they endlessly shout the label "leftist" about) is actually (still) conservative, as it (still) fundamentally serves the entrenched pools of capital its owned by or plays golf with.
