I want everyone to know I learned a new word that describes status quo loving reactionaries: Panglossian

From Dr. Pangloss, a character in Voltaire's callout shitpost anthology Candide who is a parody mocking Leibniz's "best of all possible worlds" idea. So deluded by his dogma, he repeats "all is for the best" almost religiously every time something horrible happens.

Better things aren't possible. Fixing things just makes things worse
