Summary

This quote suggests that conservatism is characterized by an unquestioning reverence and fear of traditional figures or ideas that were once radical or revolutionary in their time. It implies that conservatives may place excessive importance on maintaining the status quo, even if it hinders progress or fails to address new challenges. The use of the terms "blind" and "fear-filled" adds a negative connotation, suggesting that conservatism is driven by irrational or unfounded fears rather than rational evaluation and adaptation.
