You believe in preserving traditional values, limited government, and national sovereignty to maintain a stable and prosperous society.
Paleoconservatism is a political ideology that emphasizes tradition, limited government, civil society, anti-colonialism, and anti-federalism. The term "paleoconservatism" is derived from the Greek word "paleo," which means "ancient" or "old," and it is used to distinguish this political philosophy from neoconservatism, a more modern form of conservative ideology.
Paleoconservatism originated in the United States in the late 20th century among conservatives who felt that the mainstream conservative movement had strayed too far from its original…

Have you felt that family or community pressures to conform have benefitted or hindered your personal growth?
@9KSGPBB2yrs2Y
I’m opposed to this conservative movement. It created the MAGA movement.
@jsimicConstitution12mos12MO
You mean the movement that improves the economy, favors Americans over foreigners, and promotes energy exports over imports?
Or maybe where babies are allowed to survive pregnancy?
Or the success of peace thru strength rather than appeasement to dictators?
@HelcovichEmireRepublican7mos7MO
If you don't like MAGA, then get out of America!
@9KTBHMB 2yrs2Y
I feel like there is no spot of it in our country considering that we are an evolving country that we cannot stay in a coservative mindset
@HelcovichEmireRepublican7mos7MO
The progressive movements have destroyed the true ideals of America, feminism is one these movements. Many more, such as DEI, lgbtq rights, all are destroying the traditional ideals that have made America so great. No only do we need to stop these liberal movements, we need to regress some of these movements to when America truly was the best country in the world.
@9KSGKCY 2yrs2Y
I think from what I know, Paleo conservatism has been a ghost to me, I feel the culture I've been introduced has responded very positively to innovations and changes. So I feel it has not affected me at all.
@HelcovichEmireRepublican7mos7MO
depends on what changes took place, some are good, but most are bad, at least they are these days
@9KSLFGS2yrs2Y
I feel like its benefited me in a way it pushes me to do better.
@ISIDEWITH1yr1Y
If everyone prioritized local over global, how do you think that would affect the world you're growing up in?
@9LBPK36Independence1yr1Y
everyone would become divided because their would probably be different rules in different local places
@9RYK5C71yr1Y
It's nice in theory but we've learned people won't leave us alone if we try.
@9LBPJFR1yr1Y
It would make the place i grew up more prosperous but we would know engage less with the outside
@9LBPD7G1yr1Y
There would be more problems globally like climate and economic issues.
@ISIDEWITH2yrs2Y
In your opinion, does a limited government enhance personal freedom and responsibility; why or why not?
@9HN63R3Libertarian 2yrs2Y
Not necessarily. I believe a good strong government is necessary to protect the civil liberties of the people by protecting them from exploitation by other powerful individuals such as wealthy business-owners and religious leaders.
@HelcovichEmireRepublican7mos7MO
How are you a libertarian when you outright said a good strong government is necessary?
@9HN6RV72yrs2Y
@HelcovichEmireRepublican7mos7MO
Decrease government intervention in the economy (repeal all anti-discrimination laws, repeal environmental regulations, decrease amount of social welfare programs), but government should definitely ensure security of citizens via mass facial recognition surveillance of high crime areas and increased police presence. Also, government should intervene to put down lgbtq.
@ISIDEWITH2yrs2Y
Why might someone believe that upholding traditional cultural values is critical in today's world?
Because people would loose there heritage and forget about there backgrounds.
@HelcovichEmireRepublican7mos7MO
Because that's what has made America the best country. Now, thanks to all these liberal movements going on, America has been turned into a crappy country. We must restore traditional values to ensure America's superiority to all other countries.
@ISIDEWITH2yrs2Y
In which situations have you noticed the tension between preserving cultural heritage and embracing diversity?
@9HV92JV2yrs2Y
A lot of people who stress preserving traditional values also tend to be opposed to the diversity of modern America.
@HelcovichEmireRepublican7mos7MO
Diversity is good when it's between countries, not within countries. All people must assimilate into traditional America culture to be here.
@ISIDEWITH2yrs2Y
How would you describe the ideal balance between government authority and personal liberty in your life?
@9KB9KWK2yrs2Y
I think foreign intervention is really important for our country because not only people that are outside of our country are intervening, also immigrants and having such a conservative idea sometimes is not really good for the development of the nation.
@9K9GTHS2yrs2Y
I think the government has gotten too involved in our day to day lives
@HelcovichEmireRepublican7mos7MO
Government authority is only needed to ensure security of its citizens, by mass surveillance or police presence, and to stop people from making horrid decisions, like gender transitioning. Other than that the government should not restrict our personal liberties.
@ISIDEWITH2yrs2Y
Have changes in society prompted you to cling more tightly to certain traditions; can you give an example?
@9JPWSWK2yrs2Y
I do believe I have begun to cling more to paleoconservatism because while change is good, too much change is bad. Electric cars are a good example because they are far more expensive to repair, destroy power grids as shown in California, and the batteries cause even more environmental damage than they are trying to fix.
@9JP5ZBX2yrs2Y
F old rotten traditions its disgusting and they all should be destoryed
@HelcovichEmireRepublican7mos7MO
F you and your libtard ideas!
@HelcovichEmireRepublican7mos7MO
The LGBTQ+ rights movement has disgusted me ever since I learned about it. Made me realize more the importance of traditional marriage and respecting one's own body to not try to mess it up.
@ISIDEWITH2yrs2Y
Why might someone argue that national sovereignty is crucial in a world of growing globalization?
@9HMYTN72yrs2Y
Some of the arguments in favor of national sovereignty in a world of increasing globalization include:
- Protect national interests: Strong national sovereignty allows governments to protect the interests of their citizens and prevent them from being affected by the negative effects of globalization, such as job loss or job insecurity.
- Preserve cultural identity: Globalization can make it difficult to preserve a country's cultural identity, while strong national sovereignty allows governments to protect and promote their country's culture and identity.
@9R6R7L41yr1Y
@ISIDEWITH1yr1Y
How do you think our current societal issues would be addressed through a lens of strong local traditions and values?
@ISIDEWITH1yr1Y
Do you feel that a government playing a limited role in the economy would better serve your future financial prospects?
@9LFJ67Q1yr1Y
Yes since it would allow less restrictions and more freedom.
@ISIDEWITH2yrs2Y
In what situations do you think individual freedom should be prioritized over state authority?
@ISIDEWITH2yrs2Y
What are the risks and benefits of prioritizing national interests over international cooperation?
@9HPF2HF2yrs2Y
National interests will greatly help the US, but if we focus on international cooperation, America could be very involved in things that go on in the world.
@ISIDEWITH2yrs2Y
How does a focus on traditional values influence your stance on current social issues?
i think its very wrong, you know these people are coming her to get a fresh start a new life not to be thrown out because of there race, ethnicity, or sexuality
@9J2VS7T2yrs2Y
there has been twice as mor blood clot deaths since people have been vaccinated i feel we shroud heal the natural way
@ISIDEWITH2yrs2Y
When have you felt that 'the old ways' made more sense than modern approaches to a problem you faced?
@ISIDEWITH2yrs2Y
How does the idea of non-intervention resonate with your views on current events or historical actions by your country?
@9L36J37Republican1yr1Y
I mean if "Paleoconservatism" supports restrictions of immigration, trade tariffs, protectionism, economic nationalism, isolationism, return to tradition relating to gender, race, sexuality, culture and society, I am all for it.
@9L35T951yr1Y
I feel that we should be involved only if it threatens international peace like during the second world war
@ISIDEWITH2yrs2Y
Do you believe cultural traditions have a place in educational institutions, and what might that look like?
@9HV8FDQ2yrs2Y
It would be a good thing for students to learn a little about other cultures, if the other cultures agree.
@ISIDEWITH2yrs2Y
@ISIDEWITH2yrs2Y
Should economic policies favor the preservation of national industries and jobs over competitive global markets?
@9HD4HBY 2yrs2Y
We should have free trade but policies should first and foremost serve the nation's interests
@ISIDEWITH2yrs2Y
What does 'anti-federalism' mean to you, and can you see its principles at work in your local government?
@9HN5D5Z2yrs2Y
I like the idea of this sort of following, but there are many factors that come with this when the government gets limited. We still have the areas like the ghettos where if we don't have proper precautions then things could get out of hands in certain areas with the possibility to spread.
@ISIDEWITH2yrs2Y
How much influence should historical traditions have in the shaping of modern laws and societal norms?
@9HF2X8V2yrs2Y
old traditions should have a say in what we do in the present
@ISIDEWITH2yrs2Y
Is resisting change and maintaining traditional customs always beneficial for a society?
@9HDCM5J2yrs2Y
As beneficial as crying everytime someone gets offended
@ISIDEWITH1yr1Y
How would a shift towards respecting historical sovereignty and less global integration shape your future aspirations?
@9LBX8791yr1Y
It would give me hope that in-country jobs would be less likely to be moved out of the country.
@ISIDEWITH1yr1Y
Imagine if your country prioritized its own culture and interests over global trends; what potential effects do you foresee?
@9L9XVM61yr1Y
i think that slowly we could become less andvanced technologically, and that we couldslowly stopbeing allies with as many countries
@ISIDEWITH2yrs2Y
How might a focus on localism over globalism change your choices regarding education, work, or lifestyle?
@9KS9K662yrs2Y
It wouldn't, geopolitics don't influence my day-to-day life decisions.
@ISIDEWITH2yrs2Y
Can you share a time when following the majority differed from your personal beliefs and how you handled it?
@9KB9G7K2yrs2Y
not entirely sure what this means, but I believe people are too weak and sensitive, not everything can be talked down.
@ISIDEWITH2yrs2Y
Can you think of a personal example where traditional values clashed or harmonized with modern societal changes?
@9KPS68Z2yrs2Y
traditional values typically relate to morals, however when trying to modernize certain beliefs there seems to be a contrast. Because of this, I have seen people criticizing religion because of some perceptions on religion versus the LGBTQ. Despite this, I believe that traditional values can meet peacefully if both groups, the religious and the LGBTQ choose to listen to each others beliefs instead of criticizing them.
@ISIDEWITH2yrs2Y
Do you believe that your voice matters more in local or national matters, and why?
@9JMYSJPRepublican2yrs2Y
Local if it's a smaller matter, however it can be national if it affects
@ISIDEWITH2yrs2Y
Thinking of your life experiences, where do you see the need for government intervention and where don't you?
@9HV93RC2yrs2Y
I generally think the government shouldn't intervene.
@ISIDEWITH2yrs2Y
Can a society exclusively adhere to traditional values and still be inclusive to all its members?
@9HDWY4J2yrs2Y
I believe it can, but only if the values are not expected to be honored by those who do not agree.
@ISIDEWITH2yrs2Y
@ISIDEWITH1yr1Y
@ISIDEWITH2yrs2Y
In what ways has ‘big government’ positively or negatively interfered in aspects of your life or community?
@9KTMN8J 2yrs2Y
When it comes to Paleoconservatism, I truly do not agree with it because I’m not sure how as an African-American woman, I would fit into the bylaws or thought process in these conversations. I do not think that this type of thought process or way to look at politics would help me and my community in anyway. So I do think that it has a negative notation in my community.
@ISIDEWITH2yrs2Y
How would a decrease in foreign influence potentially impact your future education or career options?
@9JCCFJKProgressive2yrs2Y
Peleoconservatism doesnt look like something good, but foriegn influence would still be a good thing to have considering other countries are more progressive in certain ways
@ISIDEWITH2yrs2Y
In your life, have you seen examples of both positive and negative outcomes from upholding traditional values?
@9HSGSB42yrs2Y
Conservatism in its current form is as damaging to the soul as democracy.
