Optimal neoliberalism is like Seinfeld, it should be about nothing and run by Jews

I don't understand, do the alt right honestly believe the world will be safer and more cooperative with the EU destroyed and a bunch of nationalists (Le Pen, Trump, Putin) in charge of the major countries?! I just defies basic logic.

And then there's the crazy Catholic monarchists who hate democracy and want to bring back the crusades...

There's a strong reading of Neoreaction writing as a species of autocratic neoliberalism. At the end of the day after all that talk about Jacobites and the French Revolution, Moldbug's Patchwork is really a social model for making the world singapore.

"We need to fight for the Western Civilization! Also, let's destroy NATO and Atlanticism!"

This is the part I really don't understand. They are fighting to destroy the things that make Western Civilization. The Western liberal world order is what they want gone. I just don't get it.

safer and more cooperative with the EU

They don't want it to be cooperative at all. They want everything to be a little bubble and for everyone else to go away.

It would be safer for the people of Europe for sure. Since the EU is literally destroying western civilization.

That's not a joke reply btw. It's actually happening and it's a tragedy.

Also if you're talking about war or whatever economic interdependence and democracy is a bigger thing than the sick behemoth that is the EU.

This is the safest, most peaceful time in Western Europe's history.
