I made this thread to see if there were anyone who had gone through the same evolution in politics as mine: reactionary nationalist who had gone through the wringer of GamerGate - /pol/ - dissident right/NRx substack twitter and despised every bitter mutant on the left, to growing a curiosity in how government actually functioned as I got increasingly into local politics and improving quality-of-life for the aim of local patriotism, to now not being able to take reactionary politics seriously at all.
I can still remember as late as 3 years ago I was still constantly worrying about hiding my power level when making any new friends. Now I just kinda don't care about "proving" how inferior some class of people is.
Actually, I got sick of it from half the conversations on anything deeper than new headlines terminating with some variety of "because nigger," and that probably contributed to my gradual shift away from the right.
So much of reactionary politics just sort of dead-ends itself in the alley of "everything bad is caused by the gestalt of inferior people, everything good is caused by the gestalt of superior people" with the question being how you draw the carve-outs for each. The closest in actual analysis of political power beyond storybook characterization was the whole Moldbugian "Catherdral" thing, which in retrospect really was a useless pile of bullshit that confused the private consultant class as a grand font governmental power, and also downplayed how corporations influence political policy.
From my own experience, I know a lot of you tend to your mind as if a garden. You're (un)consciously avoidant of anything that could potentially disturb the inertia of your world and blackpill you. Everything is fake and nothing is real unless it's one of those anecdotes that flatters your paranoias. It's very disabling. I don't think anybody else here would agree it is, but some of you really are just talking yourselves into circles.
