What you've written here is not what I claimed three comments ago.
I normally wouldn't care if random person X on the internet thinks I'm wrong about Anissimov, but I'm really tired of people gaslighting me on this. So here is your "extraordinary" evidence that Anissimov believes his movement is weakened by popular support.
To recap, I relayed two separate essays of his in which he holds this value. Emphasis added everywhere by me.
1) "Boundaries":
We can quibble about what these "minimum standards" are, but evidentally an upper bound on the amount of disagreement possible is given by the whole Justine Tunney incident.
2) "The Kind of People Who Should Be Nowhere Near Neoreaction"
Remember my claim earlier was:
You've claimed that he's only concerned about NRx's public reputation. To the contrary, he says quite clearly:
3) "Social Conservatism and Drawing a Line in the Sand"
Here we have a more specific version of "NRx'ers must believe at least this much, or else they cannot be called NRx'ers":
I feel this should satisfy any reasonable evidential standards to conclude the claim I actually made. Feel free to disagree with me substantially after actually reading Anissimov for yourself.
I'm tapping out now, sorry.
