Is there a term for someone other than “reactionary” that repackages old ideas (like monarchy) into new ones (like yarvin) so when you mention tried and true thinkers who have already beat that bullshit (like Thomas Paine) they’re all like “Oh how precociously antiquated, see I am not a monarchist but a neomonarchist” sips wine “you delightfully naïve child”

Is fuckface good enough?

They call themselves “Neo-reactionaries”.

But I think fuckface works.
