But I do wonder how many neoreactionaries have been deconverted by that FAQ. I suspect the number is very low...
This is an interesting question that seems empirically testable -- we could ask those people and make a poll. Although there is a difference between "believing that NRs are probably right about most things" and "self-identifying as NR". I would guess there were many people impressed (but not yet completely convinced) by NR without accepting the label (yet?), who were less impressed after reading the FAQ. So the losses among potential NRs were probably much higher than among already fully convinced NRs.
If it's worth saying, but not worth its own post (even in Discussion), then it goes here.
