Tradition isn’t the issue, the issue is not wanting anything to change. Those are completely different things.
Good: Festivities (like Christmas), cuisine, cultural heritage etc, all that (and more) can be summed up as tradition.
Bad: Saying something shouldn’t change because it has always been that way, uncritically continuing to do everything the way it has always be done. This is not tradition, it’s conservatism at best and backwards politics at worst.
The bad includes “traditional values” but traditional values don’t equal tradition - tradition is much more than that, and a lot of it isn’t bad.

Thanks, you gave me a good chuckle
