Not sure I am able to respond to this in a systematic or worthwhile way. I've read quite a few of the sources you linked and have read the first 4 sections and the last section of Nick Land's piece; since that thing is a behemoth and becoming less interesting to me, I'm not sure I will finish it.
Anyway, after reading it, I'm not sure what exactly neoreactionaries are "for." Is it a return to monarchy, government on a business basis (a theoretically bankrupt concept so long as there is taxation), anarchocapitalism, etc? Maybe I didn't read enough into it, but there doesn't seem to be a clear answer.
I've never heard of this label before or of this Moldbug character. I'm not sure the label neo-reactionary is a good label. Is everyone who doesn't think democracy is the best possible form of governance a neo-reactionary? Or do you have to be a racist as well? Or do you just have to be against progressivism? Or do you have to favor monarchy over democracy?
I really am not sure what to make of it and what kind of response to give because, to me, the label "neoreactionary" does not seem to mean anything distinct. I know this is a shitty post, but I'm kind of overwhelmed by the smattering of a bunch of different ideas under one odd label.
