They should be called narcissists, because their “conservative” beliefs shift to occupy precisely the space where they happen to live. If they personally benefit from the status quo, then they must defend the tradition. If they benefit from change, then it is a moral imperative that the world conform to their point of view. A rational person might call that hypocrisy, but it’s not really anything more than selfishness.

I can’t stand fake sugar, and it never is not noticeable. But I often find I’m alone in that. We will get popsicles or some new fangled soda, and I’ll immediately taste the bitter alcohol flavor and it ruins the food. My kids and my wife don’t mind, and I haven’t met others who notice. I would rather have something unsweetened than have it taste like stevia or monk fruit or aspartame or sucralose. It all tastes bad.
