Geeks For Monarchy: The Rise of the Neoreactionaries

Third Position writes "Many of us yearn for a return to one golden age or another. But there's a community of bloggers taking the idea to an extreme: they want to turn the dial way back to the days before the French Revolution.

They propose a return to old-fashioned gender roles, social order and monarchy."

Someone mark the parent insightful. Undead don't make good Kings, they often end up eating all of their subjects and that's no way to run a kingdom.

I blame Game of Thrones.

That was something on TV, right? I wouldn't know because I don't have a TV. My life improved 110x when I stopped watching TV.

And imagine how much better all of our lives would be if you also stopped posting on /.
