Conservatism is a vile plague of inhumanity, oppression and death and should be treated as such. It is due for a cure.

And yet they seem to be the majority, or close to it. So one has to ask, why is that so many people turn to it. It has to give them value. And is that value real or perceived.

For some it is very real, usually the exceptionally wealthy. Which means conservatism is profitable.

Not having empathy for anyone outside of your in group would make it easy to dismiss or justify the fact that the first rule of capitalism is find a weakness and exploit it

Conservativism and Capitalism are closely tied. They both profit from people's weaknesses and flaws.
