OK, if this is going to blow up my notifications this much I'm going to fess up and say that I have, in fact, written the book about these guys, and it's even a pretty good book if I may say so myself. www.amazon.com/Neoreaction-...

for that, i can’t recommend @eruditorumpress.com ‘s Neoreaction a Basilisk highly enough. It treats Yarvin properly by recognizing his influence in SV but also interrogating his ideas and motivations. And it’s very witty. Neoreaction a Basilisk: Essays on and Around the Alt-Right a.co/d/5GscKAt

(This is from Elizabeth Sandifer’s excellent Neoreaction a Basilisk.)

Moldbugism/neoreaction is just right-wing Althusserism
As far as I can tell, the reactionary faction of American elites is plagued by having more or less uncritically adopted all the stupidest far-left ideas about how culture and society work.

This cargo cult shit is what happens when you have almost no real intellectuals in your political movement.
I think Musk and Bezos and Zuckerberg, among others, believe their ownership of media companies and newspapers and social media platforms gives them not just influence, but the ability to dictate what American culture *is*, and I think they’re dead fucking wrong.

Also, if you’re reading this profile, your companion book should be Neoreaction a Basilisk, which is brilliant and funny and explains all of this www.amazon.com/Neoreaction-... Neoreaction a Basilisk: Essays on and Around the Alt-Right

Abjection is the core fear of what we used to call neoreaction which is the ideology of the tech right (ethical altruism is actually a liberal heresy of neoreaction or vice versa)

highly recommend @eruditorumpress.com's Neoreaction A Basilisk if you want a Virgil to guide you through it

it's neoreaction a basilisk all the way down homies

Neoreaction is a political theory devised by weak-spirited racists who failed to navigate the pecking order of the playground.

Knowing these guys a bit, I’ll slightly disagree. They were always regressive, and don’t actually have enough fluency to have a genuine political POV. This is why bullshit narratives that flatter them, like Yarvin-style neoreaction, could easily sway them. Then, rising worker power radicalized them.
Lots of discussion of this. Still think the best explanation for tech lord rightward lurch on culture war (trans rights, immigration, crime, etc.) is middle-aged white guy syndrome. They aged into the Trumpiest demographic.

Income doesn’t explain it. Millionaires, $200K+ earners went for Harris.

Another benefit is that Neoreaction a Basilisk sales are up 300% over last month.

Wrote about Curtis Yarvin, the current iteration of neoreactionary thought (and past ones), and why the tech right wants a sense of mystery to justify making themselves rich. postsfromunderground.ghost.io/neoreaction-...

It's inauguration weekend in Washington, D.C., and there's a line of black SUVs loitering along 16th Street several blocks away from the White House. I spotted a few stray MAGA-hat-wearing tourists wa...

As this is getting spread around more than my usual book posts, just a quit nod for El Sandifer's NEOREACTION: A BASILISK, which isn't specifically about the sci-fi crossover angle, but... it's complicated. A weird (complimentary) look at a bunch of weird (derogatory) folks who may end us all.

As many have noted, my book Neoreaction a Basilisk is an overview of and scream against the scene out of which Vance emerged. (Though he doesn't come up by name.)

He was absolutely the pick I feared most, not for electability, but simply because of how awful he is. www.amazon.com/Neoreaction-...

his big neoreaction posts are before this! but he's against neoreaction (allegedly). he is very subtle! i am only sure he is deliberately promoting them because he says so in that one email

this is what neoreaction wants
Extremely grim picture of the life of ordinary Russians.

Soldiers welcome amputations to exit the battlefield. Killers and rapists pardoned to fight are returned to society as veterans committing horrific murders. Patriotic bloggers arrested. Teen folksingers must flee. Gift link: wapo.st/3N1JnFu
