Nah, it's a totally race-blind red herring that makes way too many assumptions.

I wouldn't count neoreaction as race-blind. Most neoreactionaries are very HBD-aware.

Meanwhile these people occasionally actually write about wanting to abolish whiteness and being mad over the Holocaust.

Yeah this was embarrassing from Moldbug, though I suppose what you'd expect given his heritage.

The writing is totally devoid of historical detail. Same with Moldbug. For some reason they thought that this poor understanding was good enough to start forming theories with. They obviously write more than they read, a huge no-no.

I think this is a very unfair characterization, at least of Moldbug. Watching some recent interviews with him he seems to be very well-read. In fact many have noted that a lot of his ideas simply piece together older reactionaries as well as Hoppe's ideas on democracy and monarchy, so if anything the criticism is that he's unoriginal. Spandrell... maybe you have a point, though I've not read too much of his stuff.
