Reactionary in politics often means going “back to the good old days”. Stuff like back in feudal/monarchy people used to have honor, courage, and respect. We didn’t used to exploit nature. People were more happy etc. etc.
When in fact, LGBTQ rights were abysmal, rascism and slavery was the norm in “good old days”.
We should criticize the current system and move further ahead not backwards
My understanding is that the term means an action that happens in response to a previous action: a stranger slaps you in the face, you will very likely have some kind of response to being publicly slapped; if you don’t do anything in response to being slapped, you had no reaction.
by the way, i’m curious, what does “reactionary” even mean?
is it re-action in the sense of acting again? is it reaction in the sense of responding to somebody else’s actions?
