Very interesting read. Its unusual, biologically-aware leftist anti-corporate sort-of-conservatism is a refreshing and remarkably coherent refactoring.https://michaelochurch.wordpress.com/2018/03/31/big-reputation-the-mark-of-the-beast-macho-subordinacy-and-the-masculine-fourth-turning/ …
a certain kind of "flavor" of the writing and thinking style. strong emphasis on analyzing implicit power structures and class structures within society. a rejection of the established order but lacking a clearly defined new program. criticism in particular of bourgeois norms.

I'm def. not NRx. I'm a realist. Fully on-board with the leftist contention that much of gender is socially constructed and oppressive and that gender roles don't work for *all* people. But create a society where men have to live on their reputations... & you have a powderkeg.
-
And... to be clear, no one– male or female– should be in such a precarious position. The fact that it's unjust isn't gendered. Women don't identify as much with work, tho. Put men in that situ, and they're ready to fucking kill... which is fertile ground for right-wing populism.

well if you don't like the NRx label I certainly won't continue using it. I thought your writing style had some interesting intersections with e.g. Moldbug, at least in terms of approach to analyzing the problems. You're coming from the left which is an important distinction.
-
However, you're not coming from anywhere within an established leftist movement. Extremely heterodox, which I admire and it makes your writing a lot more interesting. Left/Right polarizations seem increasingly less useful to me these days though.

I'm anti-nihilist (the novel I'm working on is, in many ways, about that) and anti-bullshit. Leftist nihilism was hippie drug hedonism and casual sex– which, though unsavory, turned out in the end to be self-limiting. Rightist nihilism is corporate America and now Trump.
