People on the side of The People
always ended up disappointed, in any
case. They found that The People
tended not to be grateful or
appreciative or forward-thinking or
obedient. The People tended to be
small-minded and conservative and
not very clever and were even
distrustful of cleverness. And so the
children of the revolution were faced
with the age-old problem: it wasn't
that you had the wrong kind of
government, which was obvious, but
that you had the wrong kind of people.

Kāpēc tik fašistisks, nedemokrātisks un autoritārs komentārs? Tu tapsi nosūdzēts savam darbadevējam par šādu neiecietīgu fašismu.

I mean, revolucionāri šajā un citās ziņās, kā likums, ir sliktāki par pārējiem, līdz ar to mums ir "stulbs un stulbāks" situācija

conservative - a person who is averse to change

Maz-prātainie nobalsoja par tik plašām pārmaiņām, ka tev acis griezīsies, ka par pārmaiņu trūkumu varēsi neuztraukties.
Grūti neredzēt (((progresīvos))) kā konservatīvus, iestigušus aizgājušās dekādes "nauda dzimummaiņas operācijām ir vairāk kā jebkad" Nārnijas skapī.
