Well intended towards themselves and their own. By definition there are none who are well intended towards humanity in general, since Conservatism in all its forms relies on in- and out-groups of people.
I’m not sure how you can be on lemmy or reddit and not recognize out-grouping from the left. Groups fundamentally define themselves by what they aren’t. And each group will strawman the other to strongarm their adherents into staying within the group.
Communist. Pink haired liberals. Nazis. Fascists. Meaningless boring out-group names that are repeated ad nauseum. But go. Indulge. Join a team and have fun. But don’t sacrifice real relationships for some politician. Be smarter than that.
Belief that everyone is part of a camp is tenuous to say the least and leads to a us and them rhetoric that prevents us from properly defining subjects.
Part of this is simply conservativism is a backwards philosophy that looks to reinforce traditional hierarchy. Conservatives might not like this reality, but that is another discussion.

That missed the point entirely.
In-groups: The law protects these people, but it does not restrict them.
Out-groups: The law restricts these people, but it does not protect them.
This is a core structure of conservatives. There is no similar core structure for the left because the left does not rely on it.
Hmmm, I bet it’s no secret who your team is!
You, once again, miss the point entirely.

You are missing the point. Conservatism isn’t anything that you, specifically, believe it is.
If you believe conservatism has no meaning that is on you boo.
That 's why I don’t believe in politics.
I don’t believe in air, but damnit, it keeps pressing down on me!
Isn’t that gravity though
