One of the deepest, most ancient, subconscious elements of humanity’s primal wound is the belief that the oppressed should pay severely for their infractions, while the privileged should be protected from the consequences of theirs.

I’m not a conservative, but I don’t think that’s a fair description of conservatism. Far right bigotry is not conservatism. When liberals get inaccurately stereotyped, it’s wrong too. Both sides need to remember that, it seems to me.

Ok... How's this then:
So much of conservatism is just fear that you are becoming obsolete due to your own inadequacies and failings, so you demand everyone else be as inadequate as you.
Far right bigotry is fake populism, a con job to pit oppressed people against each other, so they won't notice the wolves gobbling up all the spoils in swamp land while the suckers are busy being disturbed by people kneeling.
