Classical Conservatism

Classical Conservatism, also called Traditionalist Conservatism, is a type of conservative that focuses on traditions stemming from before the enlightenment philosophy. ClassCons emphasize the need for the principles of a transcendent moral order, the bonds of social order, and the defence of ancestral institutions over what they consider as excessive individualism. They also place a strong emphasis on authority and  tradition among other things. Despite being culturally right, they are generally neither nationalist (with the exception of Enoch Powell) nor  reactionary (although the latter is debatable).

 * stereotypical "proper person;"
 * uses vintage sophisticated vernacular, such as: "bogus," "to be frank," and "poppycock."
 * "Why don't you go and make me a sammich?"
 * Fetishizes Romanticist art and bashes everything that's modern.

How to Draw
Drawing ClassCon is simple:
