I think you're mixing "conservationist" and "conservative".

The reason conservative is used is partially historical naming and partially because they typically want to "conserve" the status quo.

Lately however they have become more and more regressive so there are certainly some who could go in the fascist bucket imo

You can't just listen to what a liar says, then beleive the opposite. That's makes absolutely no sense.

You just need to understand their motivations as to why they would (or wouldn't) lie

SBF has little reason to lie here and what he's saying makes perfect sense.

He just wanted his "business" to be legitimate in the eyes of the law and be regulated he wanted it to, and to achieve the most legitimacy he tried to buy out both parties. Makes perfect sense.

That's not it, it's that the terms they are using are intentionally useless and vague.

You're not supposed to understand what they really mean
