The scary thing is that if we take that (misattributed, but interesting) definition ("There must be in-groups whom the law protects but does not bind, alongside out-groups whom the law binds but does not protect") into consideration then its interpretation could be employed by whoever conservatives are supposed to be to describe the contemporary ideals of whoever isn't a conservative (or at least they don't call themselves conservatives but that doesn't mean that aren't).

And I don't think that the grandparent comment portrayed anything like anti-conservatism as you've defined it.

There's pots and kettles here clanging and banging against each other fighting to get the noose around the other's neck the quickest.
