Reactionaries "That's the wrong direction""We hate change. Change is why things are bad."
Conservatives "It ain't broke, don't fix it.""We fear change. We like things the way they are."

Radicals"That's not enough, we won't back you.""We fear change and if you get close to meeting our demands we'll move the bar."
