This is the program of the recent “national conservatism” conference. Notice how Peter Thiel seems to be running the show, and the participants are the usual collection of dupes you find in movements funded by neocons and right-wing capitalist oligarchs. There is very little difference between this and “movement conservatism” during earlier times, except they have had to alter their rhetoric in order to accommodate economic and technological changes, along with cultural and demographic change. Interestingly, Peter Thiel is gay and married to a man, while bankrolling a movement of pretend throne and altar reactionaries. Thiel also has an animus toward Google. Apparently, he is trying to create his own Silicon Valley “right” as a counterpart to the Silicon Valley “left.” In other words, “national conservatism” is just a tool for an intra-class rivalry between tech-oligarchs. Given the heavy Zionist presence in this milieu, it is almost guaranteed that “national conservatism” will be just another neocon front movement.
