@mlibby I don’t think logic really comes into it. It’s about socially constructed conceptions of morality. In the case of right wing conservatism, there’s a very strong correlation with authoritarianism as an end in itself.
“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.”
