    The irony of all ironies is how similar the words “conservation” and “conservative” are.

      That’s because the root of both is to conserve. To keep things the way they are.

      Politics gets in the way of that reality since they don’t actively want to keep it the same, they actually want to regress back to previous times they can exploit personally.
