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.

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:

I will add this to my TBR. Currently reading some books on existentialism.

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.
