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. Neoreactionaries believe that while technology and capitalism have advanced humanity over the past couple centuries, democracy has actually done more harm than good. They propose a return to old-fashioned gender roles, social order and monarchy."

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. It wouldn't surprise me in the least that people with such stupid ideals got them from TV. I'm not saying that the government should ban TV, but rather I think it would be refreshing if a community of geeks were to take to the idea of not watching TV programming and then have that become the social norm.
