The left are zombies. The Right are vampires. The center, werewolves.
There are some situations where 'punching right' is appropriate, but most in the dissident right have no self-control so conflicts spiral from the NAP to Burger King nukes. Just like the ancap memes.
This shows better than anything where loyalties lie.

It is not at all surprising that a society which isolates its elders will also develop the most extreme restrictions during a pandemic and abandon territory to mass immigration. In some sense, medical neurosis spread through guilt for what had been done to our elders, much in the same way that immigration relieves the guilt following wars of liquidation.
With the 'heirs to the counter-enlightenment' debate the right has descended into dangerous waters. In the 20th century there were perhaps less than ten heirs to the counter-enlightenment, with the state of decline one can imagine what those numbers might be today. Over the next few months I will try to give some context to this debate and what relevance the counter-enlightenment has today.
This is not to say that people involved in these discussions are unintelligent. The question is not one of knowledge but rather a way of seeing, a way of orientation. The counter-enlightenment is for us as distant as pre-socratic philosophy. Our situation is like that of sitting in an abandoned theatre, simply imagining the play is not enough, one also has to account for the historical and spatial difference in how that play was perceived and performed. Character changes just as much as the sense of beauty.

Do you understand the Enlightenment vs. Counter-enlightenment opposition?

I think a great starting point for anyone interested would be "The Oldest Programme for a System of German Idealism". It is considered to be a collaborative effort by Hölderlin, Hegel, and Schelling. I will post a link later if it is not freely available online. Very short essay and should also be of interest to anyone studying religion.
I will also try to work out a reading list.

Post-hoc rationalisation is a type of perspectivism for weak men, or simply those lacking vision.
Just as any plan is better than no plan, a calm head is better than any other when plans go awry. This is Nestor's role in The Iliad, he is something other than a hero or prince.
Writing a response to Academic Agent's 59 Theses. This will help differentiate nihilist irrationalism from intellectual intuition and Schmitt's decisionism. AA, like most today, does not understand what Schmitt means by decisionism. This is most clear where he tries to apply the friend-enemy distinction to party politics, what is fundamentally anti-deciaionist.
17. "Any new regime will be established only by the most organised available alternative elite."
Technical elites are not elites. If there is merely a mechanism switch there is no real exception to the norm of power. The train switches tracks or derails – this is neither an engine failure nor an economic catastrophe.
18. "Apolitical formula is an ideological 'top line' that justifies sovereignty ('BS BS. BS BS. therefore we rule')."
The digital encyclopaedia is the sovereign 'top line' of a non-sovereign world. (Post-hoc word association. Therefore BS BS. BS BS.')
19. "Apolitical formula cannot brook an 'and'."
The apolitical by nature cannot be a formula. The maxim must have some infinite quality which no formula can even chip away at.
20. "'Clear them out' is the only political formula that can unite dissidents against the current ruling class."
'Clear them out, and, but, leave me out.'

Name change alert. To make it distinct from other projects and also clarify the apocalyptic intent.
On Power
1. "Power is defined by 'who rules'"
Power is not only 'who rules', which is a tautology, it is a force directed towards a specific end or fate. One may speak of destructive power, doomed might – as in Menoetius, the titan. Absolute destruction too is a power, and it acts against sovereignty.
2. "Mosca’s Law: the organised 100 will always defeat the disorganised 1000."
A god will defeat millions of the organised; the law will make mortal the immortal.
3. "'Who says organisation, says oligarchy'"
Oligarchy requires a level of nobility and aristocracy. It is often a mixed state directed against democracy, or an emergency state when monarchy fails. Organisation approaches its absolute limit in the technical democracy – the total plebiscite.
4. "There is no genuine separation of powers."
There is, and we are living in it. Here Parvini contradicts another thesis, that "Culture is downstream from law."
5. "There are no neutral institutions."
The fundamental law of technical democracy is neutralisation. Therefore, there are no neutral institutions to the degree that the world approaches one total neutral institution.

The ethnicity is only the average of heroic men.
The almost-despairing is closest to nothingness; neither god nor devil compels him.
The greatest spirit includes and surpasses action. Cyrus raises the lowest men into centaurs. Beating a man into the ground would simply make him another Thersites.
For God is above all the knowing, and his followers the well-interpreted.

Reformation of the Neo-Reactionary Trichotomy
Part 1 of 9
What is the Neo-Reactionary Trichotomy?
The Neo-Reactionary (NRx) Trichotomy is a political spectrum presented by Nick Land in order to describe the political landscape according to NRx principles.
The Trichotomy begins by exploring whether the Three Estates can be mapped onto modern socio-political institutions.
Upon proving that the Three Estates can be mapped onto modern socio-political institutions, the next step is to explain a healthy trichotomy versus an unhealthy trichotomy. A healthy trichotomy is a society in which the Three Estates are working in harmony with each other. In an unhealthy trichotomy, one or more points are behaving in an unhealthy and destructive manner.
In the NRx model, only one point, the Clergy, has moved into an unhealthy state while the other points have moved so far apart that they do not tend to recognize each other as allies in any way.
