Your timeline starts too late. Moldbug rejects the Glorious Revolution.

I suspect that Moldbug thinks a military coup is only a means to an end. He wants government rule on a for profit basis, with essentially no tolerance of social disorder - other than vote with your feet (i.e. leaving). This is the concept he calls "Patches."

Moldbug does reject it, I'm however not sure that he rejects all political pre-20st century events. He seems to like corporations and corporations have gotten much more legal rights than they had before the Glorious Revolution.
