There can't really be a cure though, what's "conservative" is just whatever is on the right wing of a country's politics at any point in time.
Not quite, IMHO, seeking the imaginary ideal of yesteryear is what conservatism is, everything new is bad. The right wing of any political system is regressive and also looks back to this same imaginary ideal.
Yes, I completely agree. That's what I'm saying. I don't see how you can fix that other than universally disallowing the right wing of politics any influence over decision making, in which case the left will likely fracture in between its most left wing elements and it's most centre-left elements and the process starts again.
So unless you want endless purging of whatever happens to be on the right wing of your political spectrum, I don't see what the cure to Conservatism or the right wing is.
Prosperity and education would be a start. Also media literacy. Or literacy in general.
