Cool. And you've said all of it before on UR. I'm delighted that you maintain those same views. This is an excellent summary of them which I'm sure will be referenced in future.

On the other hand... here we are. I refer not to the people protesting your attending the conference, or to the occasional execrable article on "the Dark Enlightenment", but to the actual Dark Enlightenment. The reactosphere. Neoreaction. Currently you, Hestia, Nick Land, various heroic reaction types etc. exist in clinal variation. You're not responsible for them at all, but dude, wtf happened here? Social Matter had Kevin MacDonald on their podcast the other week, for Christ's sake. (And subjected his views to all the fierce criticism one would expect of Jeffrey Goldberg interviewing the President.) Blacks don't have it much better. White nationalism in all but name is the order of the day.

As the guy who is generally acknowledged to have set the whole online reactionary thing rolling, you have a great deal of respect in these circles. You're not tempted to stick your oar in from time to time? Not take the lead, but perhaps to advise, encourage and warn?

Meaning disavowal of the term, but using the same arguments, adopting the same societal analysis (whites vs non-whites, with jews as the wildcard), and having roughly the same goals as those Mencius attributes to white nationalists in "Why I am not a white nationalist". Usually the disavowal is on the grounds of white nationalism being a form of racial democracy, whereas the reactionary in question is not – of course – a democrat.

I certainly don't mean that everyone is doing this – not at all.

What benefits can owners of digital land expect eventually to see? Currently the principal advantage seems to be a short identifier.
