I'm something of a dark enlightenment conneseuer and I gotta tell you I have a hard time choosing between the misplaced idolization of extinct cultures in The Legionnaire and John Derbyshire's blend of Archy Bunker Dad with circa 1900 scientific racism :smug:

Yeah that dude got told a bunch of horseshit whoever his source was. These people aren't the skull and bones society, or even really a coherent movement other than they are 1) various flavones of paleoconservative to wingnut futurist libertarian and 2). Complete dorks. They probably range from college kids who will hopefully grow out of this to dudes posting out of a trailer park in Couer d'Lane

My semi-educated guess is these people run the gamut from probably trying-to-be-edgy postbacs to inveterate cranks who make their living off presentations and lectures for crazy people. Mencius Moldbug is a programmer in Silicon Valley and we just had a thread in GBS about a google programmer who started parroting this stuff on her twitter (only relevant at all b/c she had some vague connection to the Occupy Movement). I'd say the techno-feudalist nonsense if not the racialist or mens' rights stuff is popular with at least a handful of young professionals in the dotcom/tech industry, concentrated in Silicon Valley, and some of the WN/ethnonationalist online crowd has hitched their wagon to it cuz hey, these guys sound smart!
