Kirk modified by Robertson

I would say my political philosophy is Russell Kirk modified by Wilmot Robertson, that is, I give importance to earlier ancestral genetic, ethnic, racial connections—which has been left out of conservatism, at least since William Buckley read it out of modern American conservatism---like building a house without a foundation. Evolutionary conservatism adds to and deepens basic conservatism by affirming the biological origin of social behavior. Human nature is biologically kin-centered and ethnic-centered, even xenophobic, as well as being genetically gender defined, age-graded, heterosexual, marriage-making, hierarchical, and religious-making, with group-selection and ethnic selection as the primary unit of successful selection. Like the liberals and neoconservatives conservatives block or conceal the ethnic-centered and xenophobic parts of human nature due it seems to universalist religious or liberal edicts.

If real kin and ethnic-centered human nature was allowed to be what it is, it would naturally lead to regionalism, localism, general conservative values, eventually ethnostates, and finally an ethnopluralism of ethnostates for all groups, black, white, brown, yellow, or red, with each ethnostate protected from marauding imperialists, global businesses, supremacists, Marxists, etc., and defended by a defensive federalism. An ethnopluralism of ethnostates could be established legally in the United States with our constitutional separation of powers and states.

As to religion, which was fundamentally important to Kirk, conservatives are skeptical of human progress and “shun the worship of material progress, particularly when that progress is linked to government efforts to improve human nature.” (Clyde Wilson) Theological materialism sees material progress as life infused with the upward climb of evolution toward ascending levels of Godhood at the zenith of material evolution, which we can and should aid with the evolutionary sciences. Natural law in evolutionary conservatism brings a conservatism grounded in the transcendent order of material evolution to Godhood, the coming species will evolve far beyond the human species, and far beyond increased human consciousness to God-Consciousness, which counters both the stagnation of traditional conservatism and the nihilism of modern thinking.
