Hey gang haven't been crossposting my stuff here as much recently, let me know if you'd like me do that more....
But I thought you guys would be interested in my latest mega-article project. (this one is literally book length)
For those of you that like "The Anarchonomicon Real Banned Books List"
I present "The Warlord's Reading List"
The idea is that its a curriculum for perspective warlord, revolutionaries, Militia Leaders, self defense forces, independent espionage agents, arms traffickers... All the interesting people, with the goal that heaven forbid chaos come to your country there is a pre-curated body of knowledge (with links) that you can quickly and efficiently develop a deep familiarity if not expertise through self directed study.
This this started as just a short list for myself, and then It slowly grew into its current 150+ entry, 22 category, 30,000 word, book length survey of the state of modern warfare complete with oppinions minireviews, and catgirls.
If you're interested in the theory of Marxist Guerilla warfare, Crypto-currency money laundering, special weapons and tacitcs, precision marksmanship and sniper warfare, nuclear weapons survival, effective leadership, operational art and the formation of general staffs, high and low tech logistics, prison economics, digital opsec, high speed mounted warfare, and forming your own blackmail networks... Reconsider you life priorities... But also check out my new booklist!

Notes -
ok neoeraction, transhumanism, ea, rationalism and PUA are the most important ideas we have seen so far in terms of their impact, the solutions they offer and number plus quality of arguments. PUA was the best in terms of solutions since it completely solves the entire issue it aims to solve and NRx is the best in terms of understanding the actual problem.
It all starts with Moldbug, he began reading older econ stuff and you go from mises to hayek, freidmand, rothbard and finally hoppe, each getting slightly more conservative with hoppe straight up being anti democracy. After that he read more reactionary literature and came up with what we noe call NRx or neoreaction. A neoreactionary does not a total retvrn like a reactionary but has simialr vlaues, instead he wants a new way of governance. He would jot this down on his old blog, unqualified reservations and wrote quite a bit up until early 2010s. His primary ideas were that of the cathedral, that we have a church today and it has its sacred cows, its priests. Leftism is decentralised, where one is in a feedback loop, as priests keep purity spiraling, the feedback loop gets stronger. The idea that its "the jews" behind everything gets discarded once you read him. We trace the rot back to Martin Luther who removes the clergy, protestanism happens, purtians come up in england, they get exiled to the US, the french revolution happens and we get full fledged communism which is followe by bioleninism. One thing to note is that Moldbug is not good with soltutions, no one in NRx is since this is the hardest problem to solve. He does suggest you how having a CEO king but he is NRx marx, great anaylsis, no good solutions.
Nick Land was a competent british philsophy professor at the famed CCRU and worked on accelerationism, the idea that techno capital will advance to the point where it consumes humanity. "Nothing human makes it out of the near future". He was a marxist in his early days and slowly had been progressing towards different view points, moldbugs writing kicsk off the next part of our cannon in Nick lands work on the dark enlightenment and xenosystems, he fleshes out some ideas better and even talks about urban planning in one of his posts. Land hoever is always remebered by his accelratioanist work, somehow quoted the least in terms of the first three people mentioned. I have not read him much at all so will have a different answer later I presume.
Spandrell is the third, a euro not from the anglosphere, Spandrell is more evo anthropology than history or philosophy. His main idea is bioleninism, how groups that are of lower HBD will bond stronger than higher HBD group, a universal phenomenon traced back to Lenin who gave status exclusively to outcasts as they are inherently more loyal as people who are better off genetically or socially will never have the same incentives. The cat lady at the DNC who is obese, single and has mental issues will be far more loyal than Handsome McSmarty pants with a loving family as the latter will do well in any world but former needs leftism to stay in power to be high status. Spandrells main concern is Human Bio Capital, his last two essays I mentioned give you a good idea as to why we need a schelling point to pay lip service to but how unstable that ultimately is.
You also had fosetti and plenty of other people, they are mentioned by Alf below.
Post NRx. They can also be called simply reactioanries or Rx people, simply put their ideal world indeed goes back to the past and the main node here is a man named Jim Donald. Jim came up during the PUA heyday and talked about how women should be property, how every scripture and culture on the planet says so and how spandrell is right to point out that every sine place that is not poor and has female emancipation witnesses colapsing birth rates. Yarvin would want a CEO King whereas these people actually want a real king of sorts. Not better in terms of solutions, they cover other areas that the above three did not. Jim blog (blog.reaction.la) is quite vast, he has been blogging actively for decades so his memes are better understood by two different guys who came up during similar times though Alf is older than Aidan.
Alfs motive is to give you a crash course in NRx and post NRx thought. For him, Jim being a christian and acknowledging what people call the WQ or the woman question are two important factors. Alf offers no epxlicit inisght of his own and his work titled truthinaworldoflies is an afternoons reading that anyone who is a dissident can pick up to get a good idea of the reactionary ideas around at this time.
Aidans work is more spiritual, a 101 to Rx instead of just NRx, whilst Alf is a reluctant christian who wants people to be religious so that they cooperate, Aidan is more sincere in his faith as hid understanding of the world and thigns around him is more spiritual and liberal artsy. Aidans work is in the same line as Alf but more expansive, easier to read and just as dense. His solutions again surprise surprise are wait for ceaser or become ceaser or now to help trump out. His new blog is chevauchee.substack.com and twitter under the name chevaucheen. Aidan is an amerikaner, unlike alf who is likely dutch. Aidan has great posts about why nationalism is bad, why romantic love is not a correct ideal and most importantly how the warrior caste needs to rise up and get people to cooperate or else the priestly caste will keep purity spiraling even in a reactionary utopia. Aidan offers far more insight than I expected him to. He even gives a good writeup against abortion.
How to start
Ideas
what to do
Alfs archive is a 101 to how we got here but to build a rock solid understanding, you would need to supplement this with actual courses in logic, epistemology, ethics, basic econ for starters. I lack all these and am not as confident, so laying out stuff I will need. Having a good understaning of reality, why others get it wrong is very hard, to go beyond that for solutions is even harder but this is a good enough cannon to start off with.
We are in a mini thermidor and the world will only move leftwards. The only way forward is with a new religion, it can be progresivism but with HBD and embryo selection or it can be vedic hinduism where the swiss alps are seen as divine abode of Shiva, but the current lefty worldview cannot survive without an alternative. The priestly caste needs ideas for the warrior caste to come fight for and then later justify everything. MAGA is not it, it never was it and it wont be it. Even MAGAs detractors on the right are not far off from what VDARE and co said 20 years ago.
The only real solution besides entryism is to have an even better understanding of the world and finally find a direction, none of these people mentioned ever found a way out that worked, in fact none of the ideas I mentioned ever found a true solution besides PUA.
Short Tangent (optional)
PUA inside a small subset solved the WQ. The only real solution to the WQ according to reactionaries is arranged marriages or shotgun marriages but we cannot have that since we on the right are losers, objectively. If we are already low status, how can we at least in the meantime ensure that we can fix some parts of our lives so that our genes get breathing time, enter cold approach. PUA actually solved what it set out to solve. You are an above average guy fed up of not getting the girl/girls you want, that is how we all started. Women want status, but how do you become "alpha", the answer is by getting status from pickup. Having other girls like you is a very strong signal of status, a man who has nothing but just does will do just fine mating wise. Once you go out enough, you figure out the terrain of what mating looks like and the pointers given to you act like checkmarks that represnet the actual behavior of a world class lothario. It gives a real time understanding of social dynamics and having people like you for who you are is always fun. I learnt about PUA because of themotte which now hates PUA for reasons that i dont think are super well thought out.
