I'm hesitant to ascribe a political label for myself for a number of reasons, though much of my views align with Romantic traditionalist conservatism. Here are some points of divergence from the commonly perceived "Right" relative to my own:
1. Supporting environmentalism is imperative in building sustainable societies that are not geared toward collapse. Modern-day, Western hyper-consumption is a sickness that allows people to avoid confronting their respective existences.
2. As a corollary from (1), recognizing that the individual should aspire to transcend himself, intellectually, physically, and spiritually, and that this can be manifested in helping society at large.
3. Multiculturalism is beneficial to society insofar as culture remains unified, and not divided. On a quasi-related note, American cultural hegemony is not the most desired outcome.
4. There is no political niche that represents the values of CORRUPT, and rather than apply an inapplicable misnomer of my beliefs, I would rather have them stand independently, as they have all been examined independently.
Interestingly, stemming from (4), I think many people potentially ascribe to the values of CORRUPT, they just aren't aware enough to search beyond the political spectrum to seek a representation of their beliefs.
Principles that extend beyond individualistic solipsism, coupled with conservationism, is really a strong demarcation from classical American Conservatism, which I believe deserves a name to itself in the common sphere.
