Video Description:

Neoreaction was a far right circle of thinkers in the 2010s centred on Curtis Yarvin and Nick Land, which rejected democracy and the enlightenment. While it flew under the radar at the time, it has managed to influence the edges of the mainstream right while still maintaining an illiberal stance. The Kulture Dads unpack this much misunderstood phenomenon.
