https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/conservatism finds "the tendency to prefer an existing or traditional situation to change".

That said:

1. Dictionaries are descriptive, not prescriptive. I use and recognise "progressivism" and "conservatism" in non-political uses.

2. I fear if we're debating defintions, we've fallen victim to Layne's law.

Progressivism and conservatism are perfectly cromulent words that have uses outside of politics.

If anyone is making this political, I think that's you.

"FB/Zuckerberg is Satan" is hyperbole.

FB appears to be a popular punching bag. I figured this was due to them eating newspapers' ad revenue, for the most part.

The title of the article includes: "Some are calling it a 'brand tax' as tech workers fear a 'black mark' on their careers."
