“Conservatism consists of exactly one proposition …There must be in-groups whom the law protects but does not bind, alongside out-groups whom the law binds but does not protect.” (This is a little unfair or at least over-broad, in that there are plenty of movements normally identified as conservative who don’t have this ethos; you wouldn’t catch Merkel indulging in it, say. But it’s not a terrible description of the new/21st century far/right movements.)
