I don't agree with this. The new alt-right movement is relatively new and doesn't have its roots in the conservatism of old. In fact, many of the new Alt-right movements have their roots in what would be considered left wing movements in the 90s. They are staunchly pro freedom of speech and anti-organizational.
At some point libertarianism type thought became opposed to new liberal movements that put group identity and group rights over individual ones. This leads to people assuming freedom of speech means you have the right to make homophobic, anti-trans, racist, etc.. statements without consequences.
There has been some adoption of "traditional" culture and gender roles, but I wouldn't say that the root of the philosophy lies in, for example, conservative supporters of the Catholic Church. The new alt-right movements associate themselves with a "rebel" type culture, and most of their philosophy is based on this identity. For example, the anti-vax movement is based on a rebellion against perceived corrupted governmental organizations and a hinderance of personal choice, not because religious doctrine tells not to take vaccines.
The Sounds of Freedom supporters are mostly Libertarians gone awry, as opposed to supporters of the Catholic Church.
