Paleoconservatism

Paleoconservatism, shortened to Paleocon is an authoritarian and generally far-right political ideology, and version of  Conservatism. It originated in the United States, and stresses WASP (White Anglo-Saxon Protestant) ethics,  Nationalism,  Paternalism,  Regionalism, and  Traditionalism. It sometimes overlaps with the Old-Right, who were Conservatives who opposed the  New Deal in the 30s and 40s. Paleoconservatives also overlap with Paleolibertarians  and  Right-Wing Populists.

Economically, although Paleoconservatism is in support of a market economy, they are also staunch  Protectionists, in favor of high tariffs and advocate for "economic  Nationalism" in different measures & policies, varying from paleocon to paleocon. Paleoconservatism also opposes the Interventionist foreign policies advocated for by  Neoconservatives, in fact Paleoconservatives are almost the complete opposite of  Neoconservatives. They also support heavy restrictions on immigration, decentralization, Isolationism and a return to  Conservative ethics & morals relating to gender, culture, and society. This includes opposition to abortion, gay marriage, LGBT rights, etc. Paleoconservatives see  Neoconservatives as  Empire-builders, and themselves as defenders of the American  Republic.

History
The terms " Neoconservative" and "Paleoconservative" were coined due to the division in American Conservatism concerning the Vietnam War between the  Interventionists and the  Isolationists. Those in favor of the Vietnam War continuing, were referred to as " Neoconservatives" (or "War Hawks": foreign Interventionists) while those who opposed the war were called "Paleoconservatives" (foreign  Isolationist/ Nationalists).

Notable Paleoconservative politicians/figures include Pat Buchanan, Paul Gottfried,  Alex Jones, Tucker Carlson and Mel Bradford to name a few. Despite many misconceptions, Ronald Reagan was not a Paleoconservative. He was an average conservative politician, who was actually closer in belief to  Neoconservatism or  Neoliberalism, if anything (although Reagan was greatly influenced by Pat Buchanan's beliefs).

Paleoconservatism has seen a revival as of late, with the election of 45th US president Donald J. Trump. Though many Paleocon's view of Trump as a sort of fake nationalist due to his rigorous support of Israel,  Interventionism, failure to deliver on many of his campaign promises (notably the wall along the  Mexican border),  and concessions to  progressive causes such as   LGBT  rights (outside of  trans people). Regardless of how Trump himself is categorized, others regard  Trumpism as supported by, if not a rebranding of, Paleoconservatism. From this view, the followers of the old right did not fade away so easily and continue to have significant influence in the Republican Party and the all of  American politics.

Recently, Paleoconservatism has also seen a mass resurgence on the online Conservative community in the form of the America First "Groyper" movement, founded by  Nicholas J. Fuentes. In fact, Nick Fuentes runs a political commentary show by the same name, "America First" on his own website after being banned from nearly all social media (Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, Dlive, Instagram, TikTok, etc). for his political views, solidifying his status as a member of the "dissonant right". He is currently, one of the only major & mainstream Paleoconservative political commentators/activists, currently online. In addition, Don Blankenship, the presidential nominee for the Paleoconservative Constitution Party, ran for president in 2020.

[[File:Altr.png]] Alt-Right
The Alt-Right movement emerged from the Paleoconservatives, the younger generation of them, specifically. The movement was founded in 2010 by a former Paleoconservative and American White Nationalist, Richard B. Spencer who launched The Alternative Right to express his personal ideals after working as an editor for a number of Paleoconservative outlets. But the movement was not only influenced by Paleoconservatism, it also was inspired by the Dark Enlightenment, and the Nouvelle Droite.

[[File:Paleolib.png]] Paleolibertarians
The Paleoconservatives also greatly inspired the Paleolibertarian movement. It was the result of a political strategy of Rothbard which was allying with Paleoconservative and Old-Right sectors trying to expand  Libertarian ideals among them while also using this alliance to appeal towards the  Conservative populace of the US. This alliance was criticized by some mainstream Libertarians and also some non-Libertarian circles as trying to ally with racist and  reactionary groups, to which  Rothbard responded saying that  Libertarians needed to make themselves look more acceptable to  Conservatives.

Many Libertarians such as Lew Rockwell, being the main among them, but also others such as Jeffrey Tucker, started identifying with the term. The alliance ultimately broke up after Rothbard, who was the only tie Paleoconservatives and  Libertarians had, died in the year 1995. Lew Rockwell, on the other hand, kept identified with the term until 2007 when he declared to have dropped the usage of said term in part because people confused it with Paleoconservatism (That is, the term didn't have its own identity), and because Rockwell realized that the Paleoconservative movement tended to decrease freedom, not increase it.

[[File:Fuente.png]] Groyperism
Groyperism, another offshoot of Paleoconservatism, are extremely conservative and critical of more mainstream conservative organizations, which they believe to be insufficiently nationalist and pro-white. While Groypers are a loosely defined group with no formal leadership structure, they are generally considered to be followers of Nick Fuentes, a paleoconservative political commentator and podcaster. In the fall of 2019, Kirk launched a college speaking tour with Turning Point USA titled "Culture War," featuring himself alongside such guests as Senator Rand Paul, Donald Trump Jr., Kimberly Guilfoyle, Lara Trump, and Congressman Dan Crenshaw. In retaliation for the firing of St. Clair and the Politicon incident, Fuentes subsequently began organizing a social media campaign asking his followers to go to Kirk's events and ask provocative and controversial leading questions regarding his stances on immigration, Israel, and LGBT rights during the question-and-answer sessions, for the purpose of exposing Kirk as a "fake conservative".

Personality
Older Paleoconservatives usually act like the stereotypical Southern Christian boomer crank, ranting about how  Globalists and  Gays are trying to destroy their  Traditional American values and promote  Satanic degeneracy. They tend to be extremely politically incorrect and are cause for much criticism for being perceived & labelled as "racist", "homophobic", "anti-Semitic" etc.

Younger Paleoconservatives such as Nicholas J. Fuentes and his followers called "The Groypers" stay mostly consistent to the former, but with a modern Gen Z(oomer) sense of humor, spending heavy amounts of time trolling online, occasionally does  live gaming streaming via AF shows, and having a interest in  femboys. They (like the former older generation Paleocons) tend to labelled by the mainstream media as racist,  sexist, homophobic, xenophobic, white  nationalist/supremacists, bigots, etc. Paleocon_flag.svg
