Conservatism-a political or theological orientation advocating the preservation of the best in society and opposing radical CHANGES.
Please find me any definition of conservatism that contains the words 'presence of rules' You can't just make sh!t up to fit YOUR desires. "Conservatism means kick assitude, and it means we are really really smart! Also means everyone else is really, really, REALLY stupid."
Either way, my JOKE is proven accurate...maybe not funny, but accurate.
Hopeful: go have sex with a dictionary. I am telling you what being a conservative today is. It means realizing that the fact that rules exist and you have to follow them is not bad and is not limiting your freedom.
Meeting a moving train head-on is not in your freedom to begin with: you will fucking die according to laws of the Universe. Therefore, drawing a yellow line and not stepping over it makes sense to conservatives, but to a liberal it looks like constricting his freedom of movement.
The same way forcing credit-providing companies make easy credit for poor people whose economic state does not allow it hoping that rising property prises will bring everything into the black (and let poor people have their own houses) is not a possibility according to the laws of Nature. And trying to go against those laws will do the same as walking outside your window into thin air pretending laws of gravity dont exist. You will fucking crush. Or the market will...
"The same way forcing credit-providing companies make easy credit for poor people whose economic state does not allow it hoping that rising property prises will bring everything into the black"
Better still practice your fact gathering skills. I guess your concept of being conservative also means having no real concept of real world concepts like the CRA. Stop getting your 'news' from stupid sources.
"Hopeful: go have sex with a dictionary. I am telling you what being a conservative today is."
LMAO, the 'joke' was exactly about the dictionary definition of the word. If words and their meaning (you know, the 'rules' of language, I know you like rules) have no value to you then move on. If you want to debate the hypocrisy of the conservative platform, bother someone else.
Your tribalistic nature is not appreciated here.
Grow a sense of humor...or better yet a sense of priorities
Did you see watchmen. Walter Kovacs/Rorschach character is a perfect represented the Conservative mind set, ( without the religious morals.) Using aggressive force to get things done and never compromising on anything even to the point of death. It is an oxymoron because one of those presence of rules is never compromising.
Common sense told us that the sun revolved around the earth...common sense told us that the earth was flat...common sense told us that biological organisms were static in morphology. Its only when man throws off the yoke of common sense does he grow.
Nope, its common sense that told us about all those things. Common sense means normal logic, not folk logic. Common sense and following freaking rules. Not just making shit up and living any way you want.
Common sense is for common thinking people. It is the uncommon thinking people that tell us the earth revolves around the sun and is a sphere and we are kept grounded on the earth through gravity.
Conservatism sounds great....if only we can find one conservative that can live up to their own creed.

Isn't "conservatism is changing" an oxymoron?

You are an oxymoron.
Conservatism doesnt mean lack of changes. It means presence of rules. And common sense.

I'll point out that conservatism and liberalism have both completely lost their meanings in the past sixty years.
