Hell, conservatism and fascism is just cultural relativism. “I may be a barbaric savage, but that’s just my culture and if you don’t respect that, you’re a globalist!”
Michael Parenti (RIP) has a very good critique of cultural relativism in The Culture Struggle that everyone should read.
The short version is that instead of looking at cultures as the atomic actors, we should look at the living, breathing human beings that comprise those cultures, how those cultures affect them, and how they resist them, e.g. instead of looking at a monarchy and saying “it’s just their way,” you zoom in and see the peasants who are being brutalized by it and fighting back against it.
Cultural relativism but based and redpilled.
