Conservatism Inc. grifters are on the defensive as passionate, educated, and brave young Christians, nationalists, and patriots are confronting them at their campus events. Charlie Kirk, Matt Walsh, Rep. Dan Crenshaw and others are being bombarded with questions about immigration and the double standards of identity politics. Conservatism Inc. is responding to this grassroots, spontaneous movement the same way it always does–with demands for censorship, purges, and centralized control. Yet the scam is exposed for all to see. New leaders are emerging, ready to transform the American Right into a force truly representing the Historic American Nation.


Conservatism Inc.” is the parasitic network of nonprofits, phony activist organizations, and outright scam operations masquerading as a movement that I target in my new compilation Conservatism Inc: The Battle for the American Right. It’s mostly my VDARE.com columns but includes never-before published material that defines and analyzes how this controlled opposition works.


The most poisonous way it works: taking idealistic young campus conservatives and forcing them to parrot meaningless slogans about the glories of neoliberalism and big business. Such nonsense is irrelevant to the lived experience of young (and mostly white) campus conservatives, who are confronted with radical anti-white politics, corporate censorship, and the ruinous cost of family formation. Preaching about tax cuts for the rich and bragging about anti-racism is utterly hollow to these young Americans who see their country being dismantled.


Not surprisingly, Conservatism Inc. has a long tradition of purging those who want to ask intelligent questions about race, immigration, and the real nature of politics. As a direct result, “the movement” is filled with a combination of cynical con-artists possessed of a certain low cunning and outright fools who implode when they meet with serious opposition. Additionally, this “movement” has completely failed to reach young people because conservatism’s slogans are irrelevant to what we face. An astonishing 70 percent of millennials now say they would vote for an avowed socialist candidate [70% of millennials say they’d vote for a socialist. 5 facts about their debt-saddled economic situation tell you why. By Hillary Hoffower, Business Insider, November 1, 2019].


By any standard, Conservatism Inc. is an unfathomable failure.


Unless the point is to lose.


Which, of course, it is. Conservative Inc.’s purpose is to keep the American Right corralled and thwart a successful populist movement. Defeat is preferable to a success the bipartisan Establishment can’t control. Meanwhile, individuals within the “movement” personally profit while they manage the decline. By purging nationalists, Conservatism Inc. ensures there is no competition.


Thus, the Beltway Right operates in de facto partnership with antifa and journofa to make sure those with careers in Conservatism Inc. recycle the same stale talking points about tax cuts, Israel, “free markets,” and “anti-socialist” talking points that compare Norway to North Korea. Dissenters are purged if they even appear in a photograph with the wrong person [Ashley St. Clair and the Bankruptcy of Conservatism Inc. by Gregory Hood, American Renaissance, October 11, 2019]


Consider those who are promoted by Conservatism Inc. today—mote notably Congressman Dan Crenshaw (TX-2), who is clearly being positioned as the next John McCain.


When asked about H.R. 1044, the Treason Lobby’s latest drive to dispossess Middle America by importing a Leftist Indian Overclass, Congressman Crenshaw complains about those who think whites will someday be a minority, calling it “nonsense” and saying “we aren’t identity politicians.”
