The first editor-in-chief of The American Mind was Matthew J. Peterson. Peterson co-founded the online publication for the Claremont Institute in October 2018. This is the moment when postliberal and integralist voices were deliberately introduced into the broader conservative ecosystem through Claremont: and from there, into social media. It wasn’t organic. Claremont functioned as the institutional on-ramp. Once those frameworks (anti-liberal critiques of the founding, “common good” politics, integralist hierarchy, Schmittian friend-enemy logic, etc.) were platformed and legitimized there, the ideas had a ready pipeline into the online Right. The Nazi-esque Raw Egg Nationalist, Bronze Age Pervert, Curtis Yarvin, Michael Anton and others began to push ideas like "red caesarism", integralism, and corporate monarchism through Claremont. This is also the time period that transhumanist billionaire Peter Thiel was providing assistance to the Claremont Institute (as well as other conservative institutions). Thiel spoke alongside several Claremonters for years at Yoram Hazony's NatCon. Thiel telegraphed his ideological intentions with his "Straussian Moment" paper that was first penned in 2004 and later released with a collection of other writings in 2007. gwern.net/doc/politics/2007-… This ideological transformation would follow Peterson as he took the role of co-founder of New Founding's media group. Another transhumanist, Marc Andreessen, personally invested a six-figure amount into New Founding. forbes.com/sites/davidjeans/… Shortly thereafter, Matthew Peterson moved to the post-Glenn Beck Blaze Media where he, once again, began to transform the Blaze ideologically and politically. The Integralist/postliberal ideological transformation has a clear genesis and a supply chain. It has names of men that figure prominently in each and every organization that it lands. It doesn’t emerge spontaneously from “conservatism.” It is assembled from the same anti-liberty materials the Woke Left uses: a critical-constructivist epistemology that treats ordinary reality as a power-constructed hegemony, a friend-enemy political logic (Marcusean on the Left, Schmittian on the Right) , identity-based victimhood and solidarity, and the conviction that the existing order (liberty, markets, individual rights, competence hierarchies, meritocracies) must be dismantled or subordinated so a preferred moral vision can be imposed. The postliberal movement sits in exactly the same ideological mire as the Woke Left. It rejects the American founding’s liberal premises for the same reasons the Left does: because those premises constrain power, protect private spheres, and refuse to organize society around a single “common good” administered from above. The supply chain runs from critical theory and its Gramscian variants, through reactionary appropriations of the same tools, into postliberal theory and practice. The result of this entryism scheme into conservatism is not a return to ordered liberty. Instead, it is another form of sociognostic collectivism that treats markets, rights, and open society as problems to be solved as opposed to pro-American achievements to be defended.
