I suppose liking to talk about politics is the core of the problem here. Merely giving a name to a political faction is a package fallacy already.

For example, why are we debating "neoreaction", instead of tabooing the world, replacing the symbol with a set of specific statements, and debating each statement separately? By debating "neoreaction" we have already failed as rationalists, and what we do then is just digging the hole deeper.
