My read is more that the recent weird conservative dork stuff like moldbug is mostly about providing onramps and sufficiently esoteric/edgy/contemporary theoretical razzle dazzle to attract folks to pretty classical reactionary stuff, and the new'll get shed / replaced as needed.https://twitter.com/mutual_ayyde/status/1415876540760432641 …

Moldbug's silly entreaties are very historically and subculturally contingent. As a historical text he's not going to get resonance going "look I come from blue tribe, i know the toothpaste brand they use" in context a few decades from now. He built no lasting theoretical status.

90% of what was original to nrx rather than just reheated classical conservative shit was about speaking to a certain audience in a certain cultural context, same as gamergate shit, and the remaining 10% that was libertarian-y about CEOs etc has already been widely discarded

Replying to @rechelon
the stuff on CEO sovereigns is especially frustrating because there's actual interesting lit on charter cities and the like done by sincere people that gets significantly less attention because you can't use it to own the libs/progs

Your Next Government by Tom Bell covers special economic zones and charter cities and explains why states would willingly give up control to private entities (although i dunno how much of it is BS)https://www.cambridge.org/core/books/your-next-government/F6D293F69755E864F82D8468604235C7 …

Nice. I liked Moldbug for his extension of Rothbard and didn't really care for his Hoppean tendencies. His current bit is entirely vacuous imho. It will be good to read some actual substantive ancap theory.
