# [[š Cycle of Conservatism and Liberalism]]
#Philosophy #Society #Politics #Values #History #Perspectives #Generations
The world is flipping its Morality "poles". Conservatism is gaining popularity.
It turns out that conservatism isn't "backwards". But it is one side of a cycle that have always and will always turn around.
Excessive liberty eventually breeds conservatism. And excessive conservatism eventually breeds liberty. Excessive liberty eventually breeds conservatism. And excessive conservatism eventually breeds liberty. Excessive liberty eventually breeds conservatism. And excessive conservatism eventually breeds liberty. Excessive liberty eventually breeds conservatism ....
In a repeating cycle, backward and forward are always relative.
While we have a certain idea of what we consider "backwards" .. have you ever realized that using this general idea, some societies of the past were much more "liberal" than we currently are.
