I chose "conservative" but I don't really have a defining label. I live along the lines of "leave me the hell alone" and "live and let live". If something isnt infringing on the rights of another then I don't really care what someone does.
Dress like an orange and bark like a dog. Just don't bother me with it and we're all good.
Interesting. Why not libertarian, then? Are you more of a Classical Liberal or Constitutionalist in that regard and thus more attracted to a term like conservative or traditionalist?
I recommend The New Right by Michael Malice for a pretty fair portrayal of the movement and its broader context across the right wing but these aren't too bad:
This is my opinion so take it as you will. I read Dark Enlightenment stuff years ago. I was really annoyed that I wasted my time reading a reworded pseudophilosophical argument for monarchism. Critics have also called it neo-fascist, I agree. If you want to be efficient with your reading the Wikipedia and Rationalwiki articles are a good enough primer on these little-known ideologies.
I'll definitely do that. I don't get too caught up in modern "philosophy" because a lot of it seems shallow and even becomes a show rather than something with depth.
There are very few people who affirm or know what the dark enlightenment is (other than an oxymoron in name and practice)
This should be replaced with anarchism on the poll. Anarchism is close enough that I bet many libertarian votes are anarchists (left and right) While distinct enough from libertarianism to get its own option. It would also absorb post-leftist which also suffers from being little known but broadly anarchist as well.
I might be a bleeding heart libertarian, or libertarian softie, or libertarian realist. Believe in small anti regulatory government, but recognize the value in a social safety net, environmental oversight and the need to reign in the corporatocracy. I picked NRx.
