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?
