There's a lot of talk of post-liberalism but surprisingly not much discussion (as far as I've seen) of Matthew Rose's A World After Liberalism, a really good intellectual genealogy. Reading it now and learning a lot.https://yalebooks.yale.edu/book/9780300243116/world-after-liberalism …

Rose writes as an old-fashioned First Things conservative so sees Post-Liberal Right as antithetical to Christianity. I'm not so sure since Trump era has shown how easily some Christian can adopt a identitarian as opposed to doctrinal view of their faith.

Anyways, A World After Liberalism contains illuminating profiles of Oswald Spengler, Julius Evola, Francis Parker Yockey, Alain de Benoist, & Samuel Francis. Very helpful if you want to think about Post-Liberal Right in very broad historical terms, with roots in 1920s Germany.

Francis Parker Yockey is the figure in Rose's book I was least familiar with. A neo-Nazi adventurer, with multiple passports, ties to underground right, who had an Epstein-style jailhouse suicide. And someone who foresaw a post-communist Russia being a potential ally.

They like to call themselves 'trad' these days, but it's unclear whether the tradition referred to is 50s Christian nuclear family or Viking worship of Wotan
