Neoreaction, often shortened to NRx, is the repository's term for the blog-centered movement and discourse cluster around Yarvin / Moldbug and closely related anti-democratic, hierarchical, and exit-oriented arguments.
In this repository, neoreaction refers to the movement-style cluster built around Unqualified Reservations, closely related blog discourse, and later readers, adapters, and promoters. It is the best label when the repo is describing the movement or scene rather than the wider ideological umbrella.
Neoreaction overlaps heavily with Dark Enlightenment, but the current repo treats neoreaction as the tighter movement label and Dark Enlightenment as the broader umbrella and later naming frame.
It is distinct from isolated authoritarian admiration or generic post-liberalism. Similar rhetoric alone does not establish membership.
It is also distinct from specific concept pages such as Cathedral, Neocameralism, and Patchwork, which are internal terms or proposals within the discourse.
The concept appears through Curtis Yarvin's primary texts, the TechCrunch early profile of neoreactionaries, the later Nick Land naming layer, and the Hoppe precursor genealogy.
