Paleoconservatism (shortened to Paleocon) is a statist, conservative, economically and socially right-wing to far-right political ideology. 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.

Etymology

• Paleoconservatism - The term "Paleoconservatism" was coined by political philosopher and historian Paul Gottfried in the mid 1980s. Paleoconservatism gets its name from Greek prefix “paleo-” meaning "ancient," or "old."
  • Paleocon - A shortened version of the term Paleoconservatism.
• Old Right - Old Right refers to a broad coalition of American conservatives in the 1910s-50s who supported limited government, isolationism, and state's rights, while opposing the New Deal.

History

The Paleoconservative movement began in the 1980s as a response to the rise of neoconservatism within the Republican Party. The movement gained national visibility through the presidential campaigns of Pat Buchanan in 1992 and 1996. While often sidelined by the political mainstream, Paleoconservatism has persisted as a distinct current on the American Right-Wing, influencing later debates on immigration, foreign policy, and national identity.

Influences

Paleoconservatism was most heavily influenced by the informal Old Right coalition and the Southern Agrarians- a group of writers, poets, and scholars hailing from the American South who wrote on topics such as support for Agrarianism over Industrialism, the defense of traditional Southern culture and history, and opposition to Modernism. In addition, paleoconservatism also drew influence from the America First Committee, an anti-war activist group formed in the 1940s to oppose American entry into World War II.

Foreign Influence

As an American-centric ideology, Paleoconservatism has had limited direct institutional influence abroad. However, its core themes— Cultural Nationalism, skepticism of globalism, Traditionalism, and immigration restriction—have increasingly echoed in right-wing movements across Europe and beyond. In countries like Hungary, Poland, and Italy, political leaders have embraced policies and rhetoric that closely parallel Paleoconservative ideology, even if not explicitly influenced by its American origins. In the United Kingdom, debates over national identity, immigration, and cultural decline have likewise reflected Paleoconservative language and concerns. Notably, British commentator Carl Benjamin, also known as Sargon of Akkad, recently released a video praising Pat Buchanan as ‘America’s last prophet,’ signaling a growing appreciation of Paleoconservative thinkers among segments of the international dissident right . While not a global movement in name, Paleoconservatism’s critique of Modernity and defense of Western civilization increasingly resonate across borders in the post-liberal era.

The Old Right

Paleoconservatism has its origins in the informal Old Right coalition, a group of Conservatives—mainly Republicans and Dixiecrats—unified by their opposition to Franklin Delano Roosevelt and the New Deal. They typically favored Laissez-Faire economics, and shared ideals such as a defense of "Natural Inequalities," Traditionalism, Morality, Rule of Law, Nationalism, Anti-Communism, Anti-Masonry, Anti-Zionism, and Non-Interventionism, as well as skepticism of the growing power of Washington. They came into being when the Republican Party split in 1910, and were influential within the party well into the 1940s, even pushing Theodore Roosevelt and his progressive followers out in 1912. From 1933 onwards, many Democrats became associated with the Old Right through their opposition to Franklin D. Roosevelt and his New Deal Coalition, while the Republican Old Righters formed the Conservative Coalition to block its further progress. In opposition to interventionists such as the aforementioned President Franklin Delano Roosevelt, Old Righters formed the America First Committee, an anti-war pressure group started to keep the US out of World War 2, although the AFC was disbanded following the attack on Pearl Harbor. After the war, they opposed President Harry S. Truman's presidency due to both his domestic and foreign policies. The Old Right's last stand was led by Ohio Senator Robert A. Taft, who ended up being defeated by Dwight D. Eisenhower in the bid for the 1952 Republican Party presidential nomination. The new conservative movement later led by William F. Buckley, Jr., Barry Goldwater and Ronald Reagan adopted much of the domestic anti-New Deal conservatism of the Old Right but broke with it by demanding free trade and an aggressive anti-communist foreign policy.

Modern Origins

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).

Revival

Paleoconservatism has seen a revival as of late, with the election of 45th US president Donald J. Trump; although many paleocons view 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 LGB rights. 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 all of American politics.

Recently, Paleoconservatism has also seen a mass resurgence in the online Conservative community due to political "influencers" championing platforms of paleoconservatism on social media. Notably, John Doyle, host of the YouTube show known as "Heck Off, Commie," has gained a prominent following for the paleoconservative movement through his video essays and political content. From Doyle's influence, many other paleoconservative influencers have created specialized pockets to contribute to the overall movement's growth. Notably, Red Eagles Politics, Alex Stein, Vince Dao, American Virtue, and so on are all influencers mobilized by the impact of Doyle.

Influence in other political ideologies

Evangelicalism/The Christian Right

The Christian right, or Christian Conservatism, is a Christian political faction that is characterized by their strong support of socially conservative and traditionalist policies. Christian conservatives seek to influence politics and public policy with their interpretation of the teachings of Christianity.

In the United States, the Christian right is an informal coalition formed around a core of largely conservative evangelical Protestants and Roman Catholics. The Christian right draws additional support from other politically conservative Christians, such as Orthodox Christians and Mormons. The movement has its roots in American politics going back as far as the 1940s; it has been especially influential since the 1970s. Its influence draws from grassroots activism as well as from a focus on social issues and the ability to motivate the electorate around those issues.

The Christian right is notable for advancing socially conservative positions on issues such as school prayer, intelligent design, temperance, Christian nationalism, and Sunday Sabbatarianism, as well as opposition to embryonic stem cell research, LGBT+ rights, comprehensive sex education, abortion, and pornography.

It is worth noting that it is possible to be a member of the Christian Right and support neoconservatism, but it is variable.

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.

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 between Paleoconservatives and Libertarians, 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 the 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.

Intellectuals of Paleoconservatism

Paul Gottfried

(this section talks about the most important intellectual to the movement)

William S. Lind

William S. Lind (born July 9, 1947) is an American conservative author, described as being aligned with paleoconservatism. He is the author of many books and one of the first proponents of fourth-generation warfare (4GW) theory and is the Director of The American Conservative Center for Public Transportation.

He advocates a Declaration of Cultural Independence by cultural conservatives in the United States and believes that the federal government ceased to represent their interests and began to coerce them into negative behavior and to affect their culture negatively. The foundation believes that American culture and its institutions are headed for a collapse and that cultural conservatives should separate themselves from that calamity. It also supports setting up independent parallel institutions with a right to secession and a highly decentralized nature that would rely on individual responsibility and discipline to remain intact but prevent the takeover of the institutions by those hostile to cultural conservatism.

He supports government funding for mass transit programs, especially urban rail transit.

He is highly influenced by Prussian culture and believes that if the German empire won WW1, the world would be more conservative and traditionalist than what it is now.

Foundations and Beliefs

Tenets

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 traditional ethics & morals relating to gender, culture, and society. This includes opposition to abortion, gay marriage, LGBT rights, etc.

This is often due to Paleoconservatism having a massive overlap with Christian Right, and as such having a traditional Christian view of these issues. The Evangelical movement and Conservative Christianity, in general, is an enormous reason for Paleoconservatism's popularity. Because of the ideological common ground between Paleoconservatives and the Christian Right, it is more often than not that Christian Conservatives are Paleocons and vice versa. While one can be an agnostic or even atheistic Paleocon, it is usually through religion that Paleoconservatives reach their views.

Paleoconservatives see Neoconservatives as Empire-builders, and themselves as defenders of the American Republic.

Regional Tendencies

Buchanan Conservatism

Buchanan Conservatism is a variant of paleoconservatism based on the ideology of American political commentator and longtime consultant, Pat Buchanan. He was a special advisor to presidents Richard Nixon, Gerald Ford, and Ronald Reagan. He is a significant figure in the paleoconservative movement and his writings, morals, and ideas continue to influence many paleoconservatives. He ran for president three times: in 1992, 1996, and 2000.

Buchanan became harshly critical of George H.W. Bush after he broke his "Read my lips: no new taxes" pledge. He ran for president in 1992, campaigning on a platform on militant social conservatism and anti-multiculturalism, including opposition to abortion, LGBT+ rights and positive discrimination, also on fiscal conservatism, fair-trade, Anti-Cronyism and Non-Interventionism. He lost the Republican primaries and subsequently threw his support behind Bush.

In 1996, Buchanan ran for the Republican nomination for president again, but this time, he actually won the Republican primaries in Alaska, Louisiana, Missouri, and New Hampshire. In February, of that year the Center for Public Integrity issued a report stating Buchanan's presidential campaign co-chairman, Larry Pratt, appeared at two meetings organized by white supremacists. Pratt denied any ties to racism and defended his speech, according to a Rolling Stone Magazine article: "I myself would also talk to white nationalists and neo-Nazi groups. I talk to liberal groups, but people don't accuse me of being liberal. I wash all that off at home. It's important to talk to anyone who will listen."

In 1999, Buchanan left the Republican Party and switched to the Reform Party. In 2000, he ran for president for the third time, running on a vividly anti-abortion, anti-NAFTA, non-interventionist, anti-immigration, and anti-LGBT+ rights platform. He won the Reform primaries and chose former schoolteacher Ezola B. Foster as his running mate. They lost the general election, finishing fourth with 0.8% of the vote. Following the 2000 Presidential Election, Reformers urged Buchanan to take an active role in the party. Buchanan declined, though he did attend the 2001 Reform National Convention. He left the Reform Party and returned to the Republican Party in 2004, shortly before the 2004 Presidential Election. However, Buchanan stated that he was no longer interested in running again.

In 2002, he co-founded The American Conservative magazine and since 2006, he has contributed to VDARE, a white nationalist website.

In 2016, Buchanan supported the presidential nomination of Donald Trump, who was running on a somewhat similar platform to Buchanan's.

The Anti-Defamation League described Buchanan as an "unrepentant bigot" who "repeatedly demonizes Jews and minorities and openly affiliates with white supremacists".

Greeneism

Greeneism, another offshoot of Trumpism, is based on the political beliefs of Georgia congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene. Greene won her congressional seat in 2020 in a landslide victory, running as a staunch supporter of Trump despite not officially being endorsed by him.

She identifies as a Christian nationalist and has declared her intention to push the Republican Party further right. She has previously expressed belief in QAnon conspiracy theories and has linked the Democratic Party to "Child Sex, Satanism, and the Occult", she distanced herself from QAnon once she started running for Congress.

Greene holds paleoconservative views, strongly opposing abortion, Black Lives Matter, Covid-19 restrictions, LGBT+ rights, and neoconservatism.

On her first day of office, she wore a "Trump won" mask, and on the second day of Joe Biden's presidency, she filed articles of impeachment against him, alleging abuse of power. Greene was briefly a member of the Committee on the Budget and the Committee on Education and Labor before she was removed from all committee assignments on February 4, 2021, for remarks she had made against African Americans, Jews, and Muslims prior to her election.

In February 2022, Greene was a surprise guest speaker at a white nationalist political conference hosted by Nick Fuentes.

During the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine, Greene allegedly promoted Russian propaganda and praised Vladimir Putin.

Doyleism

Doyleism, another offshoot of Paleoconservatism, is the social-political outlook of John Doyle and his followers.

Doyle largely encourages an outlook of social conservatism, nationalism, Anti-LGBTQ, non-interventionist foreign policy, Social Catholicism, and practical conservatism to a younger audience.

Russell Kirk Thought

WIP

George Wallace Thought

George Wallace Thought, a Dixiecrat variant of paleoconservatism, is based on the ideology of former Alabama governor, George Corley Wallace Jr. Wallace was infamous for his staunch support for racial segregation and populism.

Wallace ran for the governorship in 1958, downplaying racial issues and focusing on increased improvements to the industry and the educational system, yet still losing to state attorney general John Malcolm Patterson, who ran with the support of the Ku Klux Klan. After his crushing defeat, Wallace hardened his views on segregation.

Wallace ran for governor again in 1962 and won, running on a fanatic segregationist platform. Wallace served four terms: one from 1963 to 1967, two from 1971 to 1979, and one from 1983 to 1987.

Wallace took the oath of office on January 14, 1963, standing on the exact same spot as Jefferson Davis when he was sworn in as President of the Confederate States of America nearly 102 years earlier. During his 1963 inaugural address, he became notorious for saying the phrase: "segregation now, segregation tomorrow, segregation forever".

In September 1963, Wallace attempted to stop four African American students from enrolling in four separate elementary schools in Huntsville, Alabama.

Wallace initiated a community college system that has now spread throughout Alabama, preparing many students to complete four-year degrees at many universities throughout the state. Moreover, several universities are named after him or his immediate relatives.

Wallace was unable to run for re-election in 1966, due to term limits. Therefore, he offered his wife, Lurleen Wallace, a surrogate candidacy for governor. She won the Democratic primary with 54.1% of the vote and later won the general election with 63.88% of the vote. She died in office in 1968.

Wallace ran for President of the United States in 1964, 1972, and 1976, though his 1968 presidential campaign was his most successful. In 1968, Wallace ran for President of the United States under the American Independent Party ticket. Wallace's platform included ending all federal efforts at desegregation, expanding the benefits of Social Security and Medicare, withdrawing from Vietnam if the Vietnam War was not winnable within 90 days, and strident law and order. Republican presidential candidate Richard Nixon, who also campaigned on law and order, worried that Wallace's firebrand Southern populism would split the conservative vote and lead to the Democratic presidential candidate, Hubert Humphrey winning the presidency. Coincidentally, Democrats worried that Wallace's appeal to members of trade unions would split the Democratic vote and lead to Nixon winning the presidency. Nixon won the presidency with 301 electoral votes and 43.4% of the popular vote. Humphrey placed second with 191 electoral votes and 42.7% of the popular vote. Wallace finished third with 46 electoral votes and 13.5% of the popular vote, Despite losing the general election, Wallace easily won the Deep South, carrying the states of Alabama, Arkansas, Georgia, Louisiana, and Mississippi.

In 1970, Wallace run for a second term for Governor against incumbent Albert Brewer. Wallace aired political advertisements on television as part of his campaign which later U.S. President Jimmy Carter would describe as "one of the most racist campaigns in modern southern political history". Wallace narrowly won the Democratic nomination and later won the general election by a landslide.

Although Wallace promised to not run for president for a third time, he later changed his mind and on January 13, 1972, declared himself a candidate, running as a Democrat. During this time, Wallace begins the process of moderating his views on race, discontinuing his prior support for segregation while still fiercely opposing desegregation busing. On May 15, 1972, Wallace was shot by Arthur Bremer while campaigning at the Laurel Shopping Center in Laurel, Maryland. At the time, he was getting high ratings in nationwide opinion polls. One of the bullets lodged in Wallace's spinal cord, leaving him paralyzed from the waist down and in pain for the rest of his life. The assassination attempt was caught on film.

While in the hospital, Wallace was visited by Shirley Chisholm, A Democratic member of the U.S. House of Representatives representing New York's 12th Congressional District. At the time, Chisholm was the nation's sole African American female member of Congress. In spite of their ideological differences, Chisholm believed that visiting Wallace was the right thing to do. President Nixon and Vice President Spiro Agnew also visited Wallace. In addition, he received telegrams from former President Lyndon Johnson, California governor Ronald Reagan and Pope Paul VI. Although Wallace won the Democratic primaries in Maryland and Michigan, the shooting effectively shut down his campaign.

By the late 1970s, Wallace made a complete reversal of his stance on race, apologized to black civil rights leaders for his past actions and views as a segregationist, and became a born-again Christian.

Wallace ran for governor for the last time in 1982. His main opponents were Lieutenant Governor George McMillan and Speaker of the Alabama House of Representatives Joe McCorquodale. Wallace won the Democratic primary and later the general election, narrowly defeating Montgomery Mayor Emory Folmar. This election was the Alabama Republican Party's best performance in the gubernatorial election since Reconstruction.

Wallace was sworn in for his final term as Governor on January 17, 1983. During his final tenure, he appointed a record number of African Americans to state positions, two of whom were appointed as members of the same cabinet, the first time in Alabamian history. On April 2, 1986, Wallace announced that he would not seek re-election. Wallace left office on January 19, 1987. Wallace died on September 13, 1998, from sepsis. At 5,848 days, Wallace is currently the third longest-serving governor in U.S. history.

Personality and Behaviour

He usually acts like the stereotypical Southern Christian boomer crank, ranting about how Globalists and LGBT+ people are trying to destroy their Traditional American values and promote Satanic degeneracy. He tends to be extremely politically incorrect and is cause for much criticism for being perceived & labeled as " racist," " homophobic," " anti-Semitic," etc.

But at least now you are becoming more conservative and more anti-Atlanticist (why should America waste resources on Taiwan anyway?). I wouldn't have taken any action against you anyway, outside of restricting trade.
• Ho Chi Minh Thought - Yes, I opposed the Vietnam War, but only so we could bring the troops back home, not because of any love for socialism. Not to mention, you have grown more pro-Atlanticist and (somewhat) pro-Zionist later on.
• Industrialism - BRING BACK OUR FACTORIES! Then I'm gonna like you once again.

Many of my followers such as Ron Paul, Taylor Greene, and Tucker Carlson often defend his good actions from NATO war hawks.
• Ba'athism - I am not a fan of your socialism, but we both dislike Zionism and agree that the Iraq War and the US intervention in Syria were a terrible idea.
• Fourth Theory - Even more aggressively expansionist than him, but even more triggering for those punks . Besides, Jones and Carlson kinda like you... I won't do anything against you anyway.
• Khomeinism - Go and destroy little Satan! And I agree that Atlanticists are Satanic. Yet, your anti-Christianity is what puts you here, great that you have Christian Churches normally functioning, in contrast to the NATO bootlicker Saudi Arabia. I don't want anything done against you anyway.
• Talibanism - Congratulations on steadfastly holding your line against those interventionist warmongers! But, y'know, Islam is still an enemy of our civilization and unwelcome here (I won't take any action against them outside of building a wall)... Your attitudes towards feminists and especially s****mites are most definitely based, though.

Degenerate Punks

• Liberalism - Curse you, and stop making the faqaaooreakin frogs homog*y! Do ya understand that?
• Democratism - The SJWs are taking over America!!!!! Some of us have historically been a part of your party when it was much more conservative.
• Third Way - Woke global hawkism is my worst nightmare.
• Progressivism - Are you triggered yet? I remember the good ol' days when we protested against the Vietnam War. Also, you often agree with me on them, albeit for different reasons.
• Revolutionary Progressivism - Huh, so I guess "Alt-Left" is a thing... Now watch yourself you hippie trash, or I'll wash your damn mouth!
• Marxism–Leninism - Free speech is important but not gonna lie, I love it whenever you get censored. But we both dislike Israel, and I did not want anything done to stop you.
• Cultural Marxism - The fact that you're trying to make us gay and try to sneak into colleges is horrible, cancel culture and contaminated water won't help you. But Christopher Lasch is ok.
• State Liberalism - This is the future that the neoliberal warmongers and Cultural Marxists want!
• Liberal Conservatism - RINO trash!
• Rockefeller Republicanism - You paved the way for those RINOs and you're not even a conservative! At least during Ike there was peace, and he was also skeptical of the military-industrial complex mumbo-jumbo.
• Homoconservatism - There's no such thing as a traditionalist degenerate. Stop normalizing your sodomy propaganda to our children, you're not a real conservative, you are a RINO!
• Paleoprogressivism - These RINOs exist, thanks to you, interventionist cuck! I do agree that we need to be sympathetic to the environment, though the government should stay out of it.
• Neoconservatism - Exactly what do you conserve? You're just a globalist who wants to divert money to Israel, the CIA, and the armed forces, and kill foreign civilians and even some of our own countrymen. America First, not Israel/NATO First.
• Trotskyism - Neocons unmasked. I may have no love for Stalin, but you were worse and deserved the icepick.
• Posadism - If interventions are not stopped, they will eventually escalate into a nuclear war.
  • And how is that supposed to be a bad thing?!

• New Deal Liberalism - Since FDR, every US president was either a godless degenerate, a warmongering interventionist, or a combination of both.
• Imperialism - We are a republic, not an empire.
• Nazism - Why does Fuentes and his Groyper army defend anti-American warmongers like you? Also, just because I oppose him does not make me an antisemite unlike YOU!
• Trumpism - Traitor! I thought that you would end the wars, but now you have warmongers like Hegseth and Rubio in your cabinet! Why are you deporting protesters for speaking out against Israeli genocide? And quit bombing Yemen!
• Stratocracy - Withdraw the troops! No more wars!
• Feminism - Kitchen is where you belong, female! Also, women shouldn't say bad words! RT if you agree.
• Liberal Feminism - Stop flying drones and go back to ironing shirts.
• Bleeding-Heart Libertarianism - Says that Christian paternalism and protectionism aren't something a small government does. Pssh, what does she know?
• Anarchism - Screw you, the state is awesome!
• Zionism - Stop making us waste tax dollars, you tiny hat haver!
• The UN - I HATE THE ANTICHRIST ! I HATE THE ANTICHRIST! I WILL NEVER DRINK THE CORN SYRUP!!!
  • We aren't the Antichrist, we aren't making you drink corn syrup yet, calm down, boomer.

• Fully Automated Luxury Gay Space Communism - ...are you not just the UN again? Anyways, bugger off, NOW!
• Globalism - Curse you, globalist elite! America First!
• Queer Anarchism - IS THAT MY STORE?
• Men's Liberation - Stay in your traditional masculine role, and stop acting like a brat! FUCK YOU!
• Pink Capitalism - Get your wokeness away from me.
• Xenofeminism - CRINGE TIMES TEN.
• Satanic Theocracy - He is right, neocons and zionists are satanic.
• State Atheism - You are also terrible.
• Secular Satanism - Satanism AND atheism? This is probabl- no, DEFINITELY the worst ideology ever.
• Khrushchevism - I'M NOT DRINKING YOUR CORN SYRUP!!! Anyway, the only reason you are an enemy of America is that Kennedy libtard placed nukes in Turkey.
• Anarcho-Nihilism - Oh my lord! How DARE you insult my god! You're gonna burn in hell!
• Social Democracy and Democratic Socialism - GO AWAY FAR LEFT COMMIES!!! But at least the DSA is against globalist wars.
• Liberal Socialism - Liberalism is the precursor to Communism! Maybe except these ones though.
• Indigenism - It's too late to apologize for the Trail of Tears, besides, you have more rights in our nation then you ever did when you were in a tribe.
• Nortonism - Says I'm not actually "anti-war" as if I say "America First" for nothing.
• Destinyism - Just another zionist libtard who I destroyed in that debate.
