sure and I just happen to think that the narratives presented by reactionaries are ahistorical and ignore important dynamics (although they are more coherent than what mainstream liberalism offers soooo...)

"more coherent" is key. it's too much to expect any ideology to correspond to all the objective facts of history, economics and society.

sure but not all overlooked facts are created equal the majority of neoreactionaries arrive at command economy with trad characteristics as the solution. As an idea that has big big big problemshttps://www.ribbonfarm.com/2010/07/26/a-big-little-idea-called-legibility/ …

Is that where they arrive? Haven't read the full canon, but it doesn't sound like what Land and Moldbug were aiming for.

This looks like a call for autarky, not a command economy.

sure he hasn't said that outright but the fact hes gone from small gov libertarianism to this is telling of general trajectory and fact he's praised companies being run like monarchies in places like his interview with justin murphy points towards command economies

he is pro-leviathan, a friend of mine described him as a "very pessimistic libertarian." but it still seems one of his major endorsements of monarchy is that they are more likely to leave you and your property alone than 'demotic' govts - no?

yes but I'd argue thats just cover for his actual beliefs so libertarians wouldn't react in disgust monarchies weren't small govt cuz they wanted to be, they were small govt cuz technology sucked and enforcement was expensive

Replying to @mutual_ayyde @xstntlprvrt69 and
look at places like Russia, Singapore, Saudi Arabia which are all the closest places on earth to nrx reality id argue. All have pretty significant involvement in peoples lives (in russia its parastate stuff cuz governance is a mess)

Saudi Arabia seems like a pretty damning critique of nrx, and without massive oil wealth a totally unsustainable model of governance.
