Does anyone else think it's sort of backward for conservatives to want us to return to traditional values, but at the same time want to constantly expand the economy and support the development of new technology(as long as it's used as they believe it should be)? I mean, doesn't changing these things inevitably lead to social change, which is going to shake up their traditions a bit?
There is so much that's backwards and retarded about right-wing conservatives it would be comical if it weren't real. But, to answer your question, technology won't lead to social change as long as the conservatives can use it to better control people. That's why they're so selective about which technological advances are "ok" to use. Nuclear weapons are justified, even though they kill people, while things like abortions are heinous crimes. It's about control of the masses. To think the opposite about either would be to relinquish control. As long as they can control which technology is used, the ones that help them keep control of people, it's fine with them and won't lead to any unwanted social changes.
