Slybaldguy, So you want entry into the centre ground, SN-RF and Third Position?

[Travesty]

You can do that? Also where the fuck is my AnCap club huh? I jump in it. Edit: Actually scratch that. There are no libertarian forum supporters. You cheap bastards.

[Travesty]

Ok, hur dur Japan's are the master race. Let me in Rei.

[Rei Murasame]

Flag waving can't get you in. You have to actually be in line with one of the ideologies listed in the OP.

[Cromwell]

Whilst I'm not as active as I'd like to be, I'd just like to reiterate my interest. I'm a left-wing nationalist or a right-wing socialist depending on who you ask; either way, I think I'm suitable for this group.

[Rei Murasame]

Yes, you are still counted, when it forms, you'll be in, Cromwell.

Also, Travesty, jokes aside, if you really are Third Position then of course you can be in, but you have to say that you are in order to be considered.

Note, acceptance does not actually rely on my personal approval of your policy preferences. So I can promise that there will never be a "you must exactly resemble me" test for acceptance.

If you need people Rei, I'm happy to volunteer interest. I'm mostly a lurker, but I've tamed my an-cap/libertarian tendencies, something that took a fair while. After some time, just looking at the role corporate and private interests play in the destruction of organic culture, and the removal of the Randian blindfold over my eyes was slowly achieved.

Out of curiosity, are any of the TP posters here familiar with Mencius Moldbug and other modern "neo-reactionaries"? It's a distinctly American TP movement (but this is good IMV, since its essentially growing at the heart of the beast)

Interested in your opinions. It's not as well known as Nouvelle Droite or GRECE, but it has been popping up on my radar a fair bit

I've been meaning to bring this up in a formal topic, since the Paternalism/Corporatism section is well and truly dead these days.

By the by, what happened to Dave? I recall him being yellow-carded a lot, but I don't see him around here anymore.

Okay, you're in as well.

I'll do a count later, and see if we are comfortably within the threshold for group formation.

Yes, I know of them. But I read the whole of that 4-part thing in the first link you posted anyway, to refresh myself on it.

I think that a lot of what they've been coming out with, has drawn from a broad index of thought in Anglosphere, much of which I've seen before. However, what they've done with it is that they've turned it toward what they've self-described as 'reactionary', and they've moulded a secessionist, and Austrian-libertarian programme to go with it.

So from what I know of it, their 'neo-reactionary' idea:

• does nothing to oppose the power of the haute-bourgeoisie, instead it actually presupposes its eternal dominance and merely seeks to 'reveal' it in public view.
• is against integrative solutions to problems, it instead advocates 'exiting', which is to say, secession.
• rejects the idea of geographical breeding groups and their dominance of discrete civic spaces, as being a key driver of history.

So that is definitely not a Third Position.

But maybe they'll evolve into the Third Position over time. It is still quite an amazing thing that they've managed to break free of the liberal universalist worldview in the first place, and for that much at least, I'd commend them.

[Rei Murasame]

Just an update, if we can get three more people, I will then ask the admins for the PFTP group to be created.

[ThereBeDragons]

I would like to apply as an observer and fellow traveler / useful idiot / fifth columnist, depending on who you ask.

[Rei Murasame]

Yep, accepted! Easily accepted, I already know you have a lot of overlap.

Only two more people needed, then.

[mikema63]

You could probably pm a few candidates and rustle 2 up.

[Goldberk]

Don't encourage them Mike.

[Plaro]

Can I join? I have nationalist sentiments........

[Rei Murasame]

So long as you actually fit the criteria and don't deviate, sure.

[Plaro]

Oh, cool. I thought you will give me a hard time.

Well there is one thing I want to clarify, I think I get what you mean by that you do not want clerical-reactionaries. But I do support some sort proper spiritual basis for society and I will bring religion into discussion. But I'm not a fundamentalist and proponent of Sharia law or something of that kind, so, does that fall within the criteria?

As with every other criteria I'm clear.

[Rei Murasame]

Yes, I think that puts you within the criteria. The criteria is basically much more relaxed than I personally am, so there is no prohibition against any particular religion, even if it's a religion that I don't like.

[Plaro]

Cool, well sign me up then.

[Rei Murasame]

Okay, you'll be in as well.

Now I just need Ombrageux to join for good measure. Someone get him in here.
