Kanklinism

Kanklinism is a philosophical and cultural movement that emerged in the late 20th century, primarily in the United States. The term "Kanklinism" is a portmanteau of "Kanker" and "Lincoln," reflecting its roots in the political and cultural climate of the time. Kanklinism is characterized by its skepticism towards mainstream political and social institutions, its advocacy for individualism, and its embrace of counterculture movements.

The movement is named after Abraham Lincoln, whom its proponents view as a symbol of resistance against tyranny and oppression. Kanklinism draws inspiration from various sources, including the works of philosophers such as Friedrich Nietzsche and Ayn Rand, as well as the counterculture of the 1960s and 1970s. It is often associated with the "New Right" and "paleoconservative" movements, although it is distinct from these in its emphasis on individualism and skepticism towards institutions.

Kanklinism advocates for a return to traditional values and a rejection of modern liberalism. It is skeptical of the role of government in society and advocates for limited government intervention. The movement is also characterized by its embrace of individualism, with proponents often advocating for personal responsibility and self-reliance.

Kanklinism has had a significant impact on American politics and culture. Its ideas have influenced the Tea Party movement and the rise of the alt-right. However, it has also been criticized for its association with extremist views and its role in the polarization of American society. Despite these criticisms, Kanklinism continues to be a significant force in American politics and culture.
