    It's a bit more complex than that, with Neoreaction splitting out of the right/libertarian wing of the Transhumanists and New Atheists of the 1990's-2000's and providing a wonky theoretical core that allowed Stormfront ideologies to infect edgy /b/ teens.

    That in turn had economic roots in the death of the long 90s in 2008. It pretty much crushed the Libertarian/techno-progressive/bright-green alliance as they realised you can't capitalism your way into utopia via a kind of centrist-accelerationism.
