Conservatism without a Movement?

“Insofar as movement conservatism has followed the incentives of this mass politics, incessantly focused on winning national elections, it has taken the ‘popular conservative’ instinct that Kirk identified and redirected it in the direction of personal grievance and collective projects. In doing so, it has cultivated among a generation of conservatives the same kind of moral servility that Kenneth Minogue so astutely diagnosed in the modern liberal, who has channeled all of his moral instincts into political causes and away from responsibility and personal virtue.” - Public Discourse
