Me neither, but I think in general NRx likes Singapore -- does it not?
Because they're libertarian and from American cities.
Libertarianism leads them to fail to look beyond "safe and not communist"; being from American cities leads them to think that's a high bar. Which it is for America, but America's political situation is insane.
In general, ethnostates look like a Europe-specific phenomenon to me.
In addition to Japan and China, both Koreas and Mongolia.
(North Korea and Mongolia aren't counterexamples; they were Communist puppet states.)

I am not sure what you are getting at, can you expand..?
both Koreas and Mongolia
Both are states now, but historically their statehood varied.
In any case, I can see the advantages of a single ethnicity, I'm just not sure that they override everything else.
Through LessWrong, I've discovered the no-reactionary movement. Servery says that there are some of you here.
I'm curious, what lead you to accept the basic premises of the movement? What is the story of your personal "conversion"? Was there some particular insight or information that was important in convincing you? Was it something that just "clicked" for you or that you had always felt in a vague way? Were any of you "raised in it"?
Feel free to forward my questions to others or direct me towards a better forum for asking this.
I hope that this is in no way demeaning or insulting. I'm genuinely curious and my questioning is value free. If you point me towards compelling evidence of the neo-reactionary premise, I'll update on it.
