One of weirdest aspect of NRx is the complete lack of cultural conservatism - by that I mean the largely politics-independent changing of mores, atittudes, the kind of stuff e.g. Theodore Dalrymple bemoan.

Um, those changes are not politics independent. These changes are being caused by various political forces.

Politics is 100% culture-reducible, culture determines even what political concepts mean.

And where does culture come from?

Adaptation to circumstances.
