@fschmidt
Can you define what a neo-reactionary is? Do you have any essays or articles about this subject? If not, maybe you can write one sometime.
You can google it and find plenty of explanations. But basically neo-reactionaries have the values of medieval Catholicism.
I sort of have the values of Medieval Catholicism too. My theory is that people who are neo-reactionaries as you define them, probably had past lives during that era. So they feel connected with it or resonate with it. I certainly feel like I have had past lives during the Middle Ages and Renaissance in Europe.
If you research past lives, you find there is a lot of compelling evidence for it that cannot be explained away, which has been a thorn in the side of Christians and Atheists, because their narrow paradigm and mental box doesn't allow for it. And in fact, reincarnation was part of Christianity until 553 when Emperor Justinian outlawed it. Dr. Ian Stevenson compiled hundreds of cases that cannot be explained away. Are you aware of all this? Recently some cases of reincarnation went viral and was featured on the news too, such as James Linberg, Jenny Cockell, etc. Did you see their stories? They are mind blowing and have convinced many that reincarnation is real. So you can't dismiss it just because it doesn't fit into your belief system.

Maybe you can find a graph of historical American per-capita economic growth so that we can compare with the tariff graph. But from my knowledge of history, there were repeated economic problems in America during the high tariff period between 1865 and 1890.

There are various reasons why free trade is bad and those should be obvious if you think in terms of a nation trying to build and defend itself. You don't want a free flow of stuff into your country, just like you don't want a free flow of stuff into your house.

For all you monarchists out there, here is an interesting monarchist channel on YouTube called Theopolitics:
https://www.youtube.com/@theopolitics1035/about
Description
We are on a mission to bring God's plan back into the political sphere through teaching and lecturing on monarchy, classical liberalism, millenarianism, and continuing the work of Blessed Seraphim Rose.
What do you think
@fschmidt? Are you a monarchist too? I think monarchists are anti-Protestant too. Doesn't the guy on that channel look like an intellectual Amish type? lol

No, I am against monarchy for the same reason that I am against universal suffrage - because political power shouldn't be a birthright. I support limited democracy with a qualified electorate, ideally men who own their home and have no debt.
