 "The use of affect theory, postmodern critiques of modernity, and a fixation on critiquing regimes of truth," Jones remarks, "are fundamental to NeoReaction (NRx) and what separates it from other Far-Right theory".Moreover, Jones argues that Dark Enlightenment's fixation on aesthetics, history, and philosophy, as opposed to the traditional empirical approach, distinguishes it from related far-right ideologies.Historian Joe Mulhall, writing for "The Guardian" in his 2020 article, "Andrew Sabisky’s job at No 10 shows how mainstream the alt-right has become", questions the ethicality of Nick Land's stance on "gender, race, religion, [and] governance" and, consequentially, regards the philosopher's neoreactionist manifesto, The Dark Enlightenment, to be a means of "propagating very far-right ideas."
