Unfortunately, conservatism is all about individual power for the select. The rest are a commodity, livestock, a natural resources to used and exploited.
The livestock go along with it because they all believe they will be rich someday. They don’t grasp the concept that the more wealth inequality grows, the less spots there will be at the top.
The sad thing people miss when they vote for less social services is that the government ties various segments of the population together with funding. After all, farmers see money from SNAP.

We come together for mutual support because it's better than living in caves.
The stoic sage is a citizen, not of a state, but the universe. The "cosmos".
ALL of existence is his "polis". His city.
To be virtuous is to be cosmopolitan, and to defend all life as if it were your own.
