Does Yarvin describe himself as a neoreactionary? As he himself has noted, we should not describe people using terms they don't call themselves. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 79.184.156.243 (talk • contribs)

There's buckets of third-party sources for the label, which is quite sufficient for Wikipedia; though if he hasn't self-labeled with it then we should note that too - David Gerard (talk) 10:46, 2 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

He notes here:

If I had to choose one word and stick with it, I'd pick "restorationist." If I have to concede one pejorative which fair writers can fairly apply, I'll go with "reactionary." I'll even answer to any compound of the latter - "neoreactionary," "postreactionary," "ultrareactionary," etc.

so it's not a self-label, but not one he deeply objects to FWIW - David Gerard (talk) 10:48, 2 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

This section increasingly looks like ascribing views from his blog in a synthesized manner. Do we have a verifiable third-party reliable source on Yarvin's claimed views? If not, possibly that bit should go - David Gerard (talk) 20:53, 24 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Pretty much my read too, TBQH. Ironholds (talk) 00:55, 25 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
