I would say that's an apt description for all "conservative" political movements. The only future they're willing to entertain is one that attempts to emulate their idea of the past. It varies by degrees and focus points but ultimately it's an unwillingness to entertain the notion that change is inevitable. The lengths they're willing to take this concept depend on the people involved but ultimately it boils down to what, Peter Pan?
Not the carefree Peter Pan we see in many adaptations but the capricious, arrogant child of the books. One unable to comprehend change and unable to understand consequences. The astounding selfishness and lack of empathy seems to be something these people wear as pride. It's as if they can appreciate the human appreciation for being understood - "that's so me!" without the metacognition to examine what they are beyond that.
I hate being beholden to these overgrown children and their war against reality.
Nice fuckin work here dude. This is apt
