Can you accept the reality that things change slowly or not?
Can you accept the reality that things change slowly or not? This is a question that has become increasingly important in politics and ideology. It is not about abstract debates between left and right, but rather about accepting the fact that society changes slowly. The answer to whether we should accept this or expect gradual improvement or explode in anger and turn everything upside down determines the path of politics or movements. Hiroki Azuma tweeted about this on February 11, 2021. Hiroki Azuma's tweet reminded me of the significance of Postmodernism. If there was any meaning to be found in being influenced by it, it would be the idea of moderate progressivism due to the absence of absolute values. Although I'm not particularly fond of the word Conservatism, the circuitry that comes from postmodernism seems quite rational. There is a classic called Reflections on the French Revolution. It is interesting to see that there are others who think similarly, as seen in the retweets and quotes. Edmund Burke's Conservatism is exactly what it means, but in Japan today, "right" has a different meaning and implies more specific claims.
