>horror is neither affirmation nor negation, but a kind of litmus test

I like this bit about 'horrorism' from his Neoreactionary writings.

The idea, as I take it, involves a certain resignation to reality which is itself horrifying in a way, but also a creeping horror for those who would seek to impose their will on the world as their grand schemes implode with increasing ferocity. A productive fatalism would seem to be the key. This helps shed light, I think, on why Land takes the side he takes.

As an aside, I think examining the concept of God-fearing in the Abrahamic religions could provide some insights into all of this, but that's just a gut feeling.
