Thanks for this gem of investigative journalism (almost unironically), but how about no? Sure, some of these nerds may be evil, angry and sad, but so are your grievance studies-inspired fellow travellers, who have captured a far bigger share of meme-space than your repulsive ideology deserves. It's impressive of you to recognize that nrx has solid diagnoses, but weak prescriptions, which just so happens to be a damn sight better than progressivism's track record of clueless diagnoses and disastrous prescriptions. I don't put much hope in nrx putting up a good fight, but if they at least can establish that it's possible for smart people to publicly disagree with the woke dogma, then its noisome cultural dominance may be shortened, with eventual replacement by something sensible coming that much sooner.
This is moronic. There is a small, kernel of real analysis here: the idea of the Landian conception of the Darwinian universe where weakness is punished (and would you look at that, the weak just so happen to be my enemies) can really just be a projection of people's desires to destroy their enemies or some death drive desire for total annihilation. "Ah, well...AI will punish my enemies by destroying humanity". I feel this way often and recognize that it results from my own dissatisfaction from society and relative powerlessness.
But this has been said before, by much more interesting people. And there is a single sentence here. Other than that, there is nothing here but Democrat politics. Nothing radical, nothing valuable, and certainly nothing leftist or progressive. Just complaining about aesthetics. "Well....its racist, well its..." blah blah blah, something you read on NPR, something you read on Twitter, something you read on Reddit, nothing you've read in a real book.
The best and final encapsulation of the utter lack of imagination and thought in this piece is the ending. I don't know what a "Doctor Who" is, I don't watch a lot of television. There is no such thing as a "Time Lord", and television shows are written in offices. Nothing that happens in them is real. I prefer to talk about real things. Peter Thiel is not a guy from a cartoon, he is a real person who lives in the real world and does real things. If he does (he won't) try to "take over the world", a cartoon character will not jump out of the teevee to stop him. "Race is a constructed...power analysis" blah blah blah, glad to see you have read your HR mandated Robin Diangelo from Reddit.com, but no one cares anymore. It is all old hat. You might as well be repeating what was sent in your last Biden fundraising email. None of these things actually address the crisis of liberalism which "neoreaction" is responding to.
You cannot even be bothered to offer an actual substantial critique of "neo-reaction"/post-liberalism, of which plenty exist ("Against the Silicon Leviathan" by "Elijah del Medigo" is one such piece which actually critiques Yarvin by taking up as serious his critique of liberalism). You are instead stuck in these neuroses about "race" and democracy, one could say petit-bourgeois morality, which does not actually address the crises of modern society which can only be resolved through socialism (the actual answer to the "neoreactionary question"). I expected more based on the name.
And the fact that you cited Dave Troy, an actual schizoid conspiracy theorist, is icing on the cake. Came here from a Crumps article I somehow just stumbled across and my 'friend or foe' sensors are all over the place with regards to who is "based" or not. But wound up here with something substantial I can finally have an opinion on.
And lastly and finally, this: "They are not trying to take anything away from you." is not true. They want to hurt us and our families for being "wrong" or "conservative" (they say this, verbatim, all of the time). They do, in fact, want to make men and white people suffer, things they also say, verbatim, all of the time online and in person, and attempt to change society and enact laws to do so. Sometimes, these things are even fascist laws (anti-free speech, etc.) They do want us to suffer, and I can prove it.
Luckily the AI will make them suffer first. Roko's Basilisk (definitely not God) will send them to (simulated, atheist, definitely not Christian) Hell. Or whatever.

lmao haters truly are fans too
I hope no one is unlucky enough to unironically read all of your screeds
Your whole personality revolves around not remembering when we threw your ass in a trash can back in high school, but we remember.
So glad to see that these pieces are finding their audience!
