It seems true that mob rule == conservatism, but is that alwasys bad? Remember the SOPA/PIPA spectacle? The conservative mob hated it and fought to keep the internet as it is, and that was a good thing. Conservative means to not want change for change's sake, and that can be a good thing sometimes. |

It's not so much fear of changes to come, but fear of the last few decades of change, and trying to get back to an idealised past. I'm in England. Tabloid-driven conservatism here tends to be xenophobic, homophobic, europhobic, ... basically panphobic.
Or that may be my liberal bias.
