NRx isn't bullshit, it's just that it's still too cold to really motivate people beyond Stick It To The Leftists. It has aesthetics, but that's *all* it has (although that's not a small thing). It lacks an appropriately human psychological dimension, something other than theory. Ethnat and alt-right guys are looking to introduce this in familiar Defend Evropa ways, and this will work on some people, but to me the answer isn't 2D Deus Vult. It's literature. Proper, capital-G great literature.

Nick Land is good at suffering and despair, but you can't root for collapse. He's just doing his part to delineate the face of the horror that people are going to have to live with. That's his contribution, to see the obverse side of capitalism and Marxism as clearly as anyone has ever done, to the point where it destroyed his mind.

The thing that's lacking is a kind of optimism and positivity that isn't hopelessly naive or fanatically positivist. You can be constructively right-wing and not be a giant asshole. Right now we have our choice of miserabilisms, cynicisms, black holes, etc to fall into. So how can you resist a black hole? Put something beautiful between you and it to focus on.

"Root the earth," as someone said. I liked that.
