Reddit just has too many progressive beliefs. Progress is related to math, science, and technology. When it comes to social issues progress is related to complaining about things. For example complaining about religious people or false rape accusations or cops being racist. Progress is good in many ways but many people like the old way of doing things since that is the environment humans spent the most time evolving in. Many people like progressive ideas but your entire belief system can't be made up of progressive ideas since some ideas just don't go well together

Even just looking at them individually instead of as an overall trend, there's clearly something wrong with a few of them.

Ain't that the truth, I like the way America is save for the lack of UHC, the far left should stop trying to make the US a completely socialist country.

also, your entire point is silly. conservatism is the belief system that values things without evaluating them.

progressive belief system: Adopting change X is good because it has this befit for this reason

conservative belief system: maintain X how it is because change bad

That's also a pretty myopic viewpoint. Both conservatives and progressives are frequently guilty of ignoring inconvenient facts and ultimately both groups have what they believe are beneficial reasons for either changing things or leaving them as they are and to pretend otherwise is kind of embarrassingly disingenuous.

Indeed. Progressives are just as guilty of saying "change is always good" as conservatives are of saying "change is always bad." In order to be effective, a government needs a blend of viewpoints, both to push conservatives out of their comfort zone to make changes for the better and to rein in progressives that haven't realized they're suggesting a change for the worse.

Unfortunately, the American approach to "a blend of viewpoints" seems to be one half of the room believing anyone that isn't a straight white man doesn't deserve rights, while the other half of the room wants it to be illegal to make a profit. That doesn't work so well. You need everyone to have relatively moderate viewpoints for anything to work.

progressive changes are proposed because of the perceivedvalue of those changes, not change for the sake of change.

conservatives resist those changes due to an appeal to the value of tradition or norms.

Evaluating ideas by their merits is sensible. Appealing to tradition is less so.
