Mapping the Dark Enlightenment: Ideological Shifts in the American Right (legrandcontinent.eu)

• Theoretical distinction between democratic conservation and reactionary dismantling.
• Analysis of 'passivism' as a strategic method to bypass democratic immune systems.
• Examination of the 'neoreactionary' constellation's fusion of technology, anti-liberalism, and elitism.

"Arnaud Miranda’s work provides a critical framework for understanding the ideological mutation of the U.S. Right. By distinguishing between traditional conservatism—which seeks to preserve—and reaction—which seeks to dismantle democracy—Miranda maps the evolution from neoconservatism to 'neoreaction'. He identifies a digital-first strategy involving influencers like Curtis Yarvin and Nick Land, who advocate for 'passivism' and techno-futurist governance. The study highlights the transition from populist movements to structured efforts aimed at replacing democratic institutions with corporate-style autocratic models, grounded in elite networking and digital intertextuality."
