This is the inaugural edition of "Mjolnir Hammers...." As Roger Scruton
died not long before the recording of this episode, we decided to hammer
conservatism. We look at the historical foundations of conservatism as a
rebranding of Burkean liberalism, its religious aspects grounded in
Christian Protestantism and mercantilism, its primarily economic outlook
as a world view, and its legacy in the present in how it has shifted
the Overton Window. We explore such topics as elitism, aesthetics, the
politics of decline, pessimism and respond to the the fundamental
question: do conservative ideas and ideals hold any value for our people?
If he's dead then I guess all those who claimed he was "our guy" and was keeping a lid on it for the right time look kind of stupid too. Waiting so long you die of old age isn't much good.
