So, we need not feel discouraged that the orthosphere, or Neoreaction more generally, have not yet exploded in popularity...We must rather look ahead to the next iteration of the High Middle Ages. Our proper purpose is like that of Lindisfarne, and Alcuin: to shine in the gathering gloom a glimmer of the eternal light of Truth, so that in the wreckage of the collapse that seems daily more inevitable, we and the readers who discover us in the next few years will be philosophically, morally and spiritually prepared to propose by our acts a social order founded on reality – which, in a collapse, is anyway already asserting itself with a vengeance.This is very much what I've been getting at when writing about neoreaction. While it's an exciting project to create a government from scratch, the public isn't agitating for a new system. Not because our current system is so great but because they've never considered that it isn't so great. "Democracy is the worst form of government except all the others that have been tried."
Here's another quote: “Men, it has been well said, think in herds; it will be seen that they go mad in herds, while they only recover their senses slowly, one by one,” Charles Mackay said.
The non-establishment right is full of individuals who have recovered their senses alone. The myth of progress is seductive; it provides moral superiority with no heavy lifting. And most who have been seduced will only repent when they have no choice but to see that it was all a lie.
