Actually, I think the difference in mindset is a critical component. Conservative philosophy resists change, top-down orgabization and favors self-composure. It is an ideal fit for a protocol that requires overwhelming consensus and resists authority. Sure conservatism-run-amok looks just as much like shit as progressivism does today, but the core philosophy is a natural match.

Maybe you’re right, but, imo, if you carefully examine some mainstream leftist positions these days you’ll be able to empirically observe a ton of resistance to change.

All of this is very nuanced. But what do I now, anyway.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I see it as a demand to constantly expand what human behavior is free of consequence, no matter how many people must be fired, cajoled, intimidated, and cancelled to make it happen. The resistance to "change" is just a resistance to acknowledging there is a debate about externalities

This is very similar to conservatism warped by religious movements in that respect. There is no debate. There is only moral progress and evil resistors.
