Also, I don’t like Scott Alexander’s politics at all, but in the interests of strict accuracy I don’t think he is a monarchist, or particularly monarchism sympathetic (except insofar as he finds some individuals with far-right views who like monarchy kind of endearing.) If anything, I had the impression that whilst Scott has certainly been influenced by and promoted the far right in many ways, a view that monarchism is just really, really silly was one of the things that genuinely kept him from regarding himself as fully in sympathy with the neo-reactionaries.

I have mixed feelings about this but since the point isn’t critical to the intention of my comment I’m happy to strike it.
