i suspect he may have been taking the piss if he's really a fan of uncle ted. but also a lot of too-online neoreactionaries have this bizarre relationship with "modernity" where they view it as the death spiral of humanity and still want to accelerate it (i haven't read Land's Fanged Noumena but i'm pretty sure this is what it's about).
I knew this person for 2 years, so if he was just doing a bit, it was extremely committed and he never broke character. He also wasn't online at all. But maybe that was part of the bit too. I don't know.
