Great piece by friend and colleague @Joshua_A_Tait on the anti-democratic strains in conservatism. As he notes, they don't have to be dominant in the intellectual mixture of the right, but they often have been and clearly are right now.https://thebulwark.com/anti-democratic-conservatism-isnt-new/ …

I wouldn't go that far and I'm not sure
@Joshua_A_Tait would either. Reducing conservatism entirely to a bad faith effort to maintain old hierarchies is, I think, excessively simplistic and tends to confuse different ideologies that fit under the larger umbrella of 'conservatism'2 vastausta 0 uudelleentwiittausta 0 tykkäystä -
There is, after all, on the right a libertarian strand that sets itself against what it views as the creation of a new aristocracy of 'enlightened technocrats,' viewing it as a retreat from the current more egalitarian order. E.g. T. Sowell, The Vision of the Anointed (1995)

(As an side, the video's insistence that 'conservatives' were against this that and the other good thing is a bit simplistic. It is not hard to find a lot of very racist, very sexist, eugenicist progressives around the turn of the century advocating new 'scientific' hierarchies)
