Tom Wolfe, Steve Sailer and John Derbyshire are race realists. Jared Taylor, Kevin MacDonald and Greg Johnson are white nationalists. I don’t really know the Dark Enlightenment too well. Race realists are often Jew-friendly while white nationalists rarely are.
The neoreactionary movement, or just neoreaction (apparently abbreviated NRx), or the dark enlightenment, is a loosely-defined cluster of Internet-based political thinkers who wish to return human society to forms of government older than liberal democracy.[1] They generally present their views as a revival of the traditions of Western civilization, or a return to a natural order of things.
Neoreactionaries are the latest in a long line of intellectuals who somehow think that their chosen authoritarian thugs wouldn’t put them up against the wall. Possibly using sheer volume of words as a bulletproof shield.[2] Or that they are somehow too competent, virtuous and useful to end up one of the serfs.
Many neoreactionaries were former libertarians; founder Mencius Moldbug describes his own journey as “from Mises to Carlyle.”[3] It’s ideal for soi-disant libertarians who realise they don’t actually like freedom (for others) all that much.
