The UK Assimilating With Today's World.

Again from Wikipedia.
(Paleoconservatism, a conservative idea that stresses tradition, limited government and civil society,
along with religious, national and Western identity. ... It was used to refer to conservative traditional
Catholics and agrarian Southerners who turned against Communism during the Cold War.)

"Paleoconservatism"?

Back in the Old Stone Age (i.e. the "paleolithic") when I was growing up, that is EXACTLY what the notion of "conservative" entailed - folks who wanted to conserve what was, rather than what the Socialists want to foist off upon us! It was not "paleoconservative", it was simply "conservative", as in "conserving what already is"...

... of course, that was before the "neoconservative" assault on humanity. Now that there are "neoconservatives" (which are neither "neo" nor "conservative"), I suppose there have to be "paleoconservatives" to carry the flag of actual conservatism forward.

Neoconservatives were defined by their founder Irving Kristol (an old Socialist) as "disillusioned socialists". Note well that they were still Socialists, just disillusioned... so the theory was that they could rename themselves and thereby fool conservatives into embracing socialism. It almost worked. "Neo"conservatives are why I abandoned the Republican party years ago. They were taking it over and remaking it into a "Worker's Paradise", just like the old Soviet Union, which was a notion entirely opposed to actual conservatism.

Then Trump came along, and appears to have bent them over the Oval Office desk.
