I'm not saying that conservatives are unhealthy, I'm saying there are unhealthy levels of conservatism just as there are unhealthy levels and limits to liberalism.
The reason that it can be said that unity rather than adversary is higher in development is that conservatism tends to be resistance to the fundamental impermanence of reality. All things must change. Reality and consciousness are evolving. The world is becoming globalized and we are moving towards unity.
And it's not about who's bad or good, better or worse, it's about what level of development are you at, how high is your awareness, how well do you understand reality.
Demonizing a second grader for not reading at a high school level doesn't make any sense, just as telling a retiree he is lazy for quitting work doesn't make any sense.
I'm trying to help people see the thing they are defending when they react violently. What is it in you that gets so angry when you read what I wrote? Worth examining.
Edit: Also worth reading about Spiral Dynamics and seeing how it applies to Life and to politics.
